Michael Edwards has unclear future with FSG after plans to acquire a second football were shelved earlier this year. The headline ambition attached to his return was that FSG wanted to build a multi-club ownership model, and Edwards was the man to spearhead it.



There has already been reports from the Athletic that Edwards’ future is in doubt. Now Paul Joyce of the Times has revealed that both Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards’ futures at Liverpool are unclear, with Edwards not likely to sign a new contract: “FSG are guided by the sporting director Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards, chief executive of football for FSG, whose own futures have become blurred as each has just over a year remaining on their contracts,” he wrote.

That is not to say, however, he is at Liverpool for the long term.” “Similarly Edwards, who has been frustrated as far back as last summer by the lack of progress with regard to the purchase of a second football club for the FSG empire, does not appear likely to sign a new deal as it stands. ” Want to get the latest Liverpool news direct to your phone?
