Aston Villa say they will initiate legal action against Jamie Carragher over what the club branded as "unacceptable insults".
Aston Villa have announced they will take legal action against former Liverpool and England defender Jamie Carragher over comments they described as "unacceptable insults." A club statement signed by chairman Nassef Sawiris accused the pundit of insulting the club and supporters, declaring Villa will not allow anyone to disrupt their ascension in English and European football.
