LIVERPOOL fans are the latest to launch a furious protest against their club’s owners amid the failed European Super League breakaway.
Supporters descended on Anfield on Saturday morning ahead of the lunchtime kick off against Newcastle.
Banners displaying messages such as ‘Spirit of Shanks, Not Greedy Yanks’ and ‘FSG rats’ were placed for the Reds’ team coach to see on route to the ground.
Liverpool’s American owner John W Henry is refusing to sell the club amid the European Super League fiasco despite widespread calls for him to get out.
Reds legend Jamie Carragher is one of thousands of Liverpool fans calling for the American to leave but the billionaire has dug his heels in and said: “My work is not done.”
Henry was one of the main protagonists in the group whose plans would have destroyed football.
However the Reds joined their greedy counterparts in backing out of the close shop franchise league on Tuesday night.
Liverpool eventually released a video from the Fenway Sports Group chief on Wednesday morning in which Henry finally apologised for dragging the Reds’ name through the mud.
But within the statement was a clear message about his future as owner.
He said: “More than a decade ago when we signed up with the challenges associated with football, we dreamed of what you dreamed of. And we’ve worked hard to improve your club. Our work isn’t done.”
