While Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group weigh up whether to sell the club, there are three key positions that need to be filled off the pitch.
For so long, Liverpool seemed a watertight operation; a model for clubs around the world for how to build for self-sustained success.
Liverpool could look to promote from within for both roles, with head of recruitment Dave Fallows a possible candidate to take over from Ward and lead data scientist William Spearman a potential successor to Graham.
So whether that is for the current owners or new investors to conduct, there is an overhaul required in the backroom, including two departing figures from the recruitment staff.
Meanwhile, Graham has built the club’s data science department since his arrival in 2012, which has been key to a measured recruitment model that not only identifies players but also the manager himself.
But that is unravelling rapidly, with FSG courting offers and a number of senior staff members tendering their resignations.
Unfortunately, there seems to be a lack of stability within the framework of Liverpool at present, and there is no ruling out further resignations in the near future.
