To say that this summer will be one of change at Liverpool would be an understatement. The Merseysiders have been one of the most stable Premier League clubs in the past decade, with a solid ownership structure, a clear transfer strategy, and, of course, the same manager at the helm for almost nine years.
When Jurgen Klopp departs after his 491st and final game in charge of the Reds, a new dawn of uncertainty will envelop the club. A football club will always exist after any manager departs, but will Liverpool be looking at post-Ferguson or post-Wenger struggles as Man United and Arsenal did previously?
To mitigate that, Liverpool’s owners have gone big by appointing former sporting director Michael Edwards as FSG’s new ‘chief executive of football’. One of Edwards’ first jobs was to appoint Richard Hughes to the role Edwards himself fulfilled at Anfield from 2016 to 2022.
