Absolutely. Looks like we’re going back to the fully data driven approach across the club, a structure that’s closer to FSG’s ideal. Klopp is a generational manager, who I think Mike Gordon said he could be like a CEO, so I’m not surprised we gravitated away a little from the original vision.
At least with Edwards & Hughes, along with Hunter, Fallows and Spearman, we’re going to have a proper data led structure that will deliver the best list of targets for the manager, and review other areas of football i.e. injuries, performances on the pitch.
One of my favourite things about all this is that THAT pic of Edwards that gets used so often is so weird yet is used in maybe 25% of the pieces about him. He looks like he’s in the beginning stages of learning the moves for a line dance
"Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. "
