This week's Blood Red looks ahead to the potentially seismic final 50 days of Jurgen Klopp's reign as Liverpool manager in the Premier League
The Reds boss is now until the final throes of a glittering, trophy-laden career that will, in time, be recognised as legendary on Merseyside but the transition towards what follows has been in full effect of late.
Just a week on from Edwards's return, it was confirmed that Richard Hughes was set to take over the sporting director position from June 1 with the Bournemouth talent-spotter tasked with the job formerly held by his good friend, who officially served with distinction from 2016 to 2022. Are you keeping up? It would be no shame to admit no after a dizzying few days of movement away from the pitch. What happens next in that area is most vital though as the new men get to work on unearthing the coach tasked with succeeding one of the most popular ever at Liverpool - and there's quite a lengthy list of frontrunners for that particular accolade.
At this very juncture in 2019, Liverpool found themselves on top, two points ahead of Manchester City, who, crucially, had a game in hand to be played, while the following year saw the Reds 25-points clear as COVID-19 took hold and football went into hibernation for three months. So this is it then for Klopp and a Liverpool squad that is unmistakably his; one final week of calm before a seven-week storm that could be greater than anything that has preceded it on his watch.
