Josh Kroenke apologises to Arsenal supporters over Gunners' role in European Super League as son of unpopular owner Stan insists that the north Londoners were one of the LAST clubs to join the breakaway group

Josh Kroenke has apologised to Arsenal supporters for the club's role in the failed European Super League as the son of owner Stan insisted that the north Londoners were on the last clubs to join the £4.6bn scheme.

The Gunners were one of 12 European clubs to sign up for the JP Morgan-backed breakaway league that led to widespread backlash from fans, pundits and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Such was the ferocity of the discontent with the scheme that all six Premier League clubs involved in the scheme, including Arsenal, withdrew from the plot a mere 48 hours after announcing their participation.
