I agree with this post. And to be fair I consumed probably hours of Edwards content today and didn’t hear or read a single person suggesting that there was anything more than a professional disagreement. So no one is blowing it out of proportion, as far as I can tell.
Yup, and why did it take so much convincing for him not only to return but to gain a better position as CEO even though he knew Klopp wouldn't be there? Klopp vs Edwards has nothing to do with him leaving and not going back into any football club for the last two years. Unless he hates all managers. Then rurikbird would have a point.
Yeaahhh it's almost as if Edwards is total bitch to negotiate with, who always makes the other side overpay
As per the point. Nothing to do with Klopp.
Yeah I think it’s old, it’s not coincedental but I think some are reading too much into the reasons. FSG’s MCO strategy probably is the biggest factor here, I doubt Edwards would leave his new consultancy to return just as director of football at LFC regardless of Klopp’s departure. It’s a more free ranging role and probably something they have been dicussing a while prior to Klopp’s decision.
Hindsight is 20/20, isn't it?
For a start, it's promising that Bournemouth signed 3 of the names mentioned in the Interesting Young Players thread
- Ouattara
- Kerkez
- Scott
Since Hughes' promotion to the role of first-team technical director in 2016, Bournemouth have made some notable signings (either developed to be good players at the club or sold on for sizable profit):
- Ramsdale @ 18 yrs old
- Solanke @ 21 yrs old
- Ake @ 22 yrs old
- Kelly @ 20 yrs old
- Danjuma @ 22 yrs old
- Billing @ 23 yrs old
I strongly doubt we were limited massively in who we wanted to recruit, so I'm guessing this chap was the one for us
