RETURN OF THE MICK
Michael Edwards is one of the key players in Liverpool’s glorious return to relevance in the last decade, yet he could probably stroll past Anfield on a matchday without being noticed. An inconspicuous but highly-influential figure in his previous spell at the club, Edwards’ vibe is very much the quiet tech boffin you find in every heist movie; a man of few words who can take the doors off a casino vault in 60 seconds. He left the club in 2022 but now he’s back for one last job. With Fenway Sports Group desperate to inject some positivity into the post-Jürgen Klopp void ahead, they have brought back Liverpool’s former sporting director to take on a broader, more senior role this summer; a familiar face to lead a strange new era on Merseyside.
