Jurgen Klopp defends Liverpool owners FSG, insisting they're 'not bad people' but 'made a bad decision' over failed Super League breakaway - as he reveals he STILL hasn't talked to John W Henry but admits his public apology was 'personal enough'

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has defended the club's owners Fenway Sports Group as the fallout of the failed European Super League continues.

The Merseyside club were one of six Premier League sides to originally sign up to the controversial breakaway league on Sunday but pulled out two days later alongside Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham.

Liverpool owner John W Henry publicly apologised to Liverpool fans, Klopp and the players on Wednesday morning and the Reds boss has insisted the FSG group are 'not bad people'.
