Liverpool lured Michael Edwards back to Anfield amid promises of a multi-club model being put in place.The multi-club model has become increasingly popular in football, especially with English clubs like Manchester City and Chelsea.However, Liverpool no longer look set to become involved in the growing business model, which has left Edwards ‘frustrated’. Discuss: Arne Slot could win Liverpool fans back if he keeps showing passion on the touchline There was much more energy vs Galatasaray, could that change things?
