On Thursday, Sir Jim said: “I am sorry that my choice of language has offended some people in the UK and Europe and caused concern but it is important to raise the issue of controlled and well-managed immigration that supports economic growth.”
The club has not directly addressed the remarks, but said it “prides itself” on being “inclusive”.
