Also to be clear I dont think Edwards leaving was because of FSG, I think it was because of Klopp and Ljinders. The guy says as much in a previous video and makes good points about the current situation with Edwards.
It's no coincidence that Klopp announces he's leaving and next minute there are rumours that Edwards is returning. IMO that's because Edwards and Klopp didnt see eye to eye on quite a few transfers and contracts and Edwards always felt undermined, not so much by Klopp who should have the final say but more so by Ljinders who I think Edwards thought was given too much power.
I also think this is why Ljinders isnt being considered as the next manager with Klopp leaving.
The guy also makes a solid point about the rumours that Edwards is open to coming back but only if he has full control of transfers and contracts etc. That's not him saying "im the best, i wanna run everything" but more so saying, the last time I was here I was constantly undermined, I cant come back to that sort of thing.
There were rumours a while ago I read about how Edwards didnt want to renew Hendo and wanted to replace him with Enzo Fernandez who could be gotten from River Plate at the time for about 15 million. But Klopp pushed back and renewed Hendo and that's when we fell short on the quadruple push as the legs werent quite there which in turn the following season completely fell apart in midfield.
I dont know.
But a lot has gone on behind the scenes in the last few years where key people have left like Edwards and now Klopp up's and leaves before his contract is even up.
Long story short, I dont think Henry and FSG, Edwards and Klopp have all gotten along as well as they try to make it seem. I think all three parties see footballing matters differently. And in the end, it looks like we will lose Jurg because of it.
Now IMO he is the KEY reason for our success. I think FSG have been good owners, they have steadily built the club back up to where we are now one of the very top teams in world football again. I also believe Edwards is a genius and had a massive impact on our success.
But FSG and Edwards plus ETH or plus Poch or plus Arteta and this doesnt work. Maybe some success, but not he success we see under Klopp and more importantly not the vibe, the atmosphere the togetherness, the family that Klopp has built between the squad and the fans.
It's Klopp who makes it happen.
Be interesting to see how next season goes without the great man and as ive said, if it comes out in the wash that FSG has cost us Klopp. Pitch forks time.

But then it starts for them - brutal run home.
