West Ham Vice-Chairman Karren Brady has clarified comments made in her Sun column yesterday by making a post on social media on Sunday afternoon, Her tabloid column came in for heavy criticism but now it appears she is claiming it was taken out of context.

The Baroness told her 282,000 Twitter followers:

“Everyone agrees that Liverpool FC deserve to win the title. The Premier League & English Football League are doing all we can to ensure the season is finished. Including suspending games, isolating players, and if required playing games behind closed doors and into the summer months.

My point was the safety of fans, players, staff come 1st & if the remaining games just cannot be played the only fair & reasonable thing is to declare season null and void. Who knows who would have gone down or come up if the Premier League /English Football League games have not actually been played in full?”
