Liverpool are reshuffling their hierarchy, with Fenway Sports Group changing the way things operate behind the scenes after announcing their intention to sell the club
Mike Gordon is to step back from his director role with Liverpool following Fenway Sports Group’s decision to put the club up for sale.
FSG released a statement on Monday which confirmed they were looking for outside investment in the club. The ownership group said that “under the right terms and conditions we would consider new shareholders” but for now ” FSG remains fully committed to the success of Liverpool”.
Gordon is FSG president and is hugely influential behind the scenes of the Premier League club. Jurgen Klopp has previously described Gordon as “the brain behind all the things at Liverpool”.
Klopp is understood to have a strong relationship with Gordon, who is based in Boston, rather than in the UK. But Gordon is now to step back from the day-to-day operations of Liverpool and focus on finding a buyer for the club, according to The Athletic.
