Leeds chief Kinnear mocks Liverpool owner Henry over 'hostage video' | OneFootball

Leeds United chief executive Angus Kinnear has taken aim at Liverpool owner John W Henry.

innear has taken a swipe at Henry by comparing his apology over plans to join a European Super League to a hostage video.

Kinnear said in his programme notes for the game against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, “The fall-out from the failed European Super League proposal has continued, and while the demonstration at Old Trafford stole the headlines, it is the nascent regulatory work of the Premier League, the FA and UEFA that will have the longest-lasting impact.

“Fortunately, the footballing world has not been fooled by the hollow expressions of contrition (even when delivered in the compelling format of a hostage video) and recognise the protagonists ultimately will, over the longer term, remain obdurate in trying to create the football oligopoly they crave.

“However, I believe the new regulations enshrining the principles of meritocracy, sustainability, financial solidarity and formalised supporter consultation will frustrate their ambitions to such an extent it will provoke a number of changes in ownership."
