"I wrongly used a racial stereotype. This was inappropriate and unacceptable.</p>
<p>“Words have a strong impact,” his post continued, “and I fully understand the severity of what I said when Angel Di Maria was sent off. I will learn from this and be better moving forward. Jim.”</p>
<p>The 57-year-old Irishman played as a defender for Liverpool and Leeds and was part of Ireland’s national team in the 1980s.</p>
