The return of Michael Edwards as the new CEO of Football for FSG provides some big-picture leadership, and Richard Hughes will take the lead on transfers when he joins as sporting director. By the same token, Slot won’t be the sole or even necessarily leading voice when it comes to the big contract…

And with Liverpool’s season now effectively done in terms of competitive stakes, there’s little else to really focus on. Of course,…

People claim the 2019/20 Premier League campaign has an asterisk attached. And that Liverpool’s title success is somewhat tainted due to the Covid-19 pandemic that resulted in the season being postponed from early March to late June. They ignore the fact that the Reds held a 25-point lead over Manchester City with just nine matches left to play. They ignore Liverpool’s relentless run of 27 wins, one draw and one defeat in their 29 Premier League outings. It was a matter of when and not if Jurgen Klopp’s side would end the 30-year wait for the title. The hiatus during…
