Aston Villa have announced plans to take legal action against former Liverpool defender-turned-pundit Jamie Carragher for what the club described as “unacceptable insults” about the club and its supporters.
Carragher, a prominent pundit with Sky Sports and CBS, has been hit with a backlash by Villa fans for suggesting that manager Unai Emery should be a candidate to replace the under-fire Michael Carrick at Manchester United.
“Aston Villa will initiate legal action against Jamie Carragher for his unacceptable insults about the club and its fans,” Villa chairman Nassef Sawiris said in a short statement posted on the club’s social media feeds. “Aston Villa will not allow anyone to stop our ascension in English and European football.” Emery has transformed Villa’s fortunes since taking charge four years ago. The Spaniard has led the Birmingham-based club twice into the Champions League and ended a 30-year wait for silverware by winning the Europa League last season. he has had to build a new team this season after six of the side that started the Europa League final departed in the transfer market, seeking either higher wages or the chance to challenge more routinely for silverware.
