For a club renowned for its stability during the Jurgen Klopp era, Liverpool will head into 2023 with so much long-term uncertainty swirling.
At the very top of the pyramid, Mike Gordon - who has previously been, by some distance, the most hands-on member of Fenway Sports Group in the day-to-day running at Anfield - is no longer overseeing the daily operation and is instead using his time to potentially find an outright buyer for the club itself.
In the medical department, Liverpool 's search for a club doctor goes on as they seek a replacement for Jim Moxon, who departed in August. Head of Academy Medical, Bevin McCartan, and club physician Sarah Lindsay have temporarily assumed primary duties for the first team during that intervening period.
