Jamie Carragher reportedly apologises after Aston Villa announces plans for legal action

Aston Villa said it would initiate legal action against Jamie Carragher over what it called “unacceptable insults” about the club and its fans. The former Liverpool defender and pundit reportedly apologised, calling his language “clumsy and wrong.” A secondary account says he also addressed Villa’s owners and described his remarks as tongue-in-cheek. A response to Villa’s announcement characterized the dispute as concerning English football’s hierarchy.
