According to The Athletic, Liverpool CEO Billy Hogan was forced to scrap a Zoom call on Tuesday as the European Super League crumbled.
Hogan sent an internal staff email on Monday to lay out plans just hours after Liverpool had announced their intention to join the breakaway league.
Alongside Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool were part of the six Premier League teams that wanted to form a new closed-off league.
Fans launched a ferocious backlash, and Liverpool – much like the other English sides – have now been forced to U-turn and pull out of the competition.
John Henry has offered an apology to Liverpool fans, but it’s now claimed that Hogan’s future is now unclear after his role in the proceedings.
Hogan was the only person quoted on Liverpool’s stance, but then cancelled a Zoom call on Tuesday which would have laid out the plans even further.
With Liverpool now out of the proposal, the call won’t be rearranged, meaning Liverpool staff won’t be any the wiser on what Henry and co had planned for the club.
None of this sounds particularly great. It’s clear that Liverpool’s U-turn must have come pretty late into Tuesday if Hogan was ready and willing to state his plans.
They now seemingly expect staff to go back to normal after a bizarre few days, and Hogan may come under close scrutiny just like Henry is right now.
