Liverpool chairman Werner urged to resign from Premier League role | OneFootball

Liverpool chairman Tom Werner is being urged to resign from the Premier League's Club Broadcast Advisory Group.

Executives from clubs which sparked a civil war in English football by joining the now-abandoned European Super League have been handed an ultimatum to step down from key Premier League sub-committees.

Sky News reports that Richard Masters, the Premier League chief executive, contacted executives on Wednesday including Bruce Buck, the Chelsea chairman, and Vinai Venkatesham, Arsenal chief executive, to request that they relinquish their roles on the working groups.

Ferran Soriano, who runs Manchester City, was also asked to step down from CSAG, according to insiders.

The Premier League is also seeking the removal of the Manchester United and Liverpool executives Ed Woodward and Werner from its Club Broadcast Advisory Group, the sources added.
