Aston Villa drops legal threat against Carragher after apology
Aston Villa has withdrawn its threat of legal action against pundit Jamie Carragher after he apologised for comments about the club.
Aston Villa threatened legal action against Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher on Friday after he suggested manager Unai Emery should consider taking the Manchester United job and told Villa fans to 'shut the f*** up'. Carragher had argued on the Stick to Football podcast that there is 'a chain in football' and that Aston Villa would never be Manchester United. Villa chairman Nassef Sawiris stated the club would initiate legal proceedings for 'unacceptable insults'. Carragher apologised on Saturday, saying his language was 'clumsy and wrong' but intended as 'tongue in cheek', and Villa have now dropped their legal threat.
