Liverpool chairman Tom Werner said that bringing Michael Edwards back into the fold at Liverpool was critical to the club's continued success. Edwards left Liverpool in 2022 after six years as the club's sporting director, but was re-hired by FSG two years later and is now its chief executive of soccer.

Upon his return to the fold, Edwards made a number of significant appointments, with Richard Hughes arguably the biggest hire of the lot. In an interview with The Athletic, Werner explained just how important Edwards' return to the club was.
