Gareth: Since he came on board he has wasted money trying to make Liverpool 'Galacticos' - spending big on players that don't fit the system. Throwing the toys out the cot because Fenway did not buy a second club is a stain on his reputation. In summary, first time appointment left as a success, second time around leaves as a failure.
Andy: What can you say? We did brilliantly during Edwards' time at the club! Many plus points along the way, and a few sticky moments, but who is ever spotless in that respect? He can leave a very proud man and with the supporters' genuine thanks.
James: A disappointing and underwhelming second spell.
Dan: Quite a significant change at the club now he's gone - he's undoubtedly a driver of the success the club has had since FSG took over. It has felt over the past few years like there is less focus on what made Liverpool so savvy in recent years though, maybe because Edwards' role was to develop a multi-club model. I'm glad that has seemingly been ditched.
Fraser: Honestly, I don't know why he was brought back anyway. He wasn't needed as CEO of football. More concerned about Richard Hughes and the sporting director role. We need someone long term and to provide some stability behind the scenes and full backing for Iraola.
Fran: To be fair, he only returned to fry bigger fish, but the sea ended up being empty. I hope the patchy recruitment of 25-26 isn't what he's remembered for.
