Liverpool's game-changing project has failed despite Michael Edwards' best efforts | OneFootball

Liverpool's major project has failed. That's despite the efforts of Michael Edwards as FSG CEO of Football.

Michael Edwards returned to the fold in 2024 for one major role. He didn't technically agree to join Liverpool - he instead signed up for FSG, the club's ownership.

The role was that of a multi-club project overseer. Edwards was the CEO of Football and that would include Liverpool and the other clubs that FSG intended to purchase.

However, that now won't happen. The Athletic reports that the multi-club idea is now dead, with FSG distancing themselves from the plan.

So why is that?

The multi-club failure

Strict ideas around what would actually be worth an investment appears to have been the problem. FSG wanted a club that was value for money, had genuine potential to play European football, and was based in an area that could attract potentially elite players and staff.

Now, was that possible? There's an old adage when buying something: Cheap, Quality, Great location - you can have two of the three.

It feels similar here. Cheap, Potential, Great Location. Finding all three is a nightmare.

They came close with Bordeaux but severe financial concerns, as well as further concerns over the ownership of the stadium, ended a deal.
