Tom Werner letter rages at 'irresponsible' comments from French minister about Liverpool fans

Tom Werner says his letter to the French government was sent in "utter disbelief" after Liverpool fans were subjected to tear gas attacks from riot police outside the Stade de France on Saturday night.

The Reds chairman has sent a correspondence to the sports minister of France, Amelie Oudea-Costera, after comments made on Monday that suggested 'British fans' were the root cause of the unrest outside the ground ahead of the Champions League final.

The ECHO has obtained the letter sent from the Boston-based Liverpool chairman in which he outlines his immense frustration and disappointment at how events unfolded for the club's followers in Paris over the weekend.
