Edwards to leave & Gerrard to Villa – Liverpool FC Roundup

This Is Anfield

Liverpool-related news is all about the upper-hierarchy of clubs today – and not just our own at Anfield.

Edwards set to depart in change at the top

A bit of an era comes to an end this summer, with sporting director Michael Edwards confirming that he is leaving the Reds.

One of the most important figures in our total turnaround, Edwards will leave at the end of the campaign when his contract expires, with Julian Ward stepping up to take his place from his current assistant role.

Fans have reacted in unsurprised fashion, simply wishing well for the future a person who has played a pivotal role in the Reds’ success.

Now the work continues without him from the summer onwards – but the success must remain the same!
