Michael Edwards was brought back into the fold to head up the model, with Liverpool’s former sporting director having been appointed as FSG’s CEO of Football earlier this year. It’s thought that restrictions on increasing wage spending relative to revenue would have made it difficult to accelerate the club’s growth in the manner in which FSG would have liked to.

What’s more, FSG’s analysis of the club is said to have concluded that the main value of Getafe’s squad lies in its veteran players, which would potentially lead to considerable investment being needed quickly in order for it to compete for more ambitious goals.
