Michael Edwards is one of the key players in Liverpool’s glorious return to relevance in the last decade, yet he could probably stroll past Anfield on a matchday without being noticed. An inconspicuous but highly-influential figure in his previous spell at the club, Edwards’ vibe is very much the quiet tech boffin you find in every heist movie; a man of few words who can take the doors off a casino vault in 60 seconds. He left the club in 2022 but now he’s back for one last job. With Fenway Sports Group desperate to inject some positivity into the post-Jürgen Klopp void ahead, they have brought back Liverpool’s former sporting director to take on a broader, more senior role this summer; a familiar face to lead a strange new era on Merseyside.
Hearts may have broken Morton’s in the Scottish Cup on Monday night, but Morton can be proud of their performance – and of their starting lineup containing the evocative sequence ‘French Blues Power’” – Peter Oh.
In its diatribe against Tin Pot (yesterday’s Football Daily), I noticed that you didn’t use any cute, derogative nicknames for it. I’ll admit that I’ve had trouble figuring out whether this competition is Big Cup, Big Vase or some other Fairs-related reference. Can’t we harmonise this by collectively referring to all of the Uefa money-spinners as freshly-dropped [Snip – Football Daily Ed]?” – Mike Wilner.
Re: The Fiver Football Daily being funny in 2010 (yesterday’s Football Daily letters)? I seem to dimly recall the odd nasal exhalation over the years but I wouldn’t stand in a court of law and actually accuse the hastily assembled, crumb-gathering, Tin-inspired scribblings of a tea-timely email of being funny” – Che Matthews (and others).
