On April 28, Liverpool won the Premier League title 4 rounds ahead of schedule, the second Premier League title in history, and the 20th English top league title in history.

Liverpool's excellent performance on the field this season depends largely on the club's scientific management.

First of all, the reporting line is clear and the responsibilities are clear.

Edwards is in a high position and is basically equivalent to the president of Liverpool, while CEO Hogan is mainly responsible for business development. Edwards is also responsible for the football management of multiple clubs in Fenway Sports Group.

Edwards' title is CEO of Fenway Football Management, and he reports directly to the Fenway Board of Directors, whose main members are Fenway President Gordon, Chairman Werner, and owner John Henry.

CEO Hogan, who is responsible for finance and commercial advertising development, also reports directly to the Fenway Board of Directors.

Edwards and Hogan are basically in a parallel relationship, and can be regarded as partners.

Before Fenway developed the second club in the multi-club model, Edwards mainly managed two people in Liverpool.

Both sports director Hughes and technical director Ward report to Edwards.

Hughes is responsible for Liverpool's first team, signings, contract renewals, medical and sports science departments, and Kirkby training base. Liverpool head coach Slote reports to Hughes.

Ward is responsible for Liverpool's youth training, loaning out youth players, and elite player development strategy. In fact, Edwards is training Ward. In the future, when Fenway has a second club, Ward may go there to serve as sports director.

Sometimes it is difficult for us to understand the difference between sports directors and technical directors. Liverpool has given an example.

When Slote first came, Edwards did not go to Kirkby base for a long time except for the welcome ceremony. He created a space for his old buddy Hughes to let Hughes take full control.

Edwards deliberately kept himself away from stars like Slote and Salah, keeping a sense of distance, so that it would be easier to manage according to the reporting line.

In some clubs, even so-called giants, big-name stars can call the club chairman or even the boss at any time! That kind of club will often change head coaches.

You can't find a photo of Edwards and Sloter now, but there are photos of Edwards, Ward and Klopp before, because Edwards was the sports director at that time, and his status was appropriate.

Edwards and Hughes are very low-key. Sometimes, Hughes comes out to talk to the media when he has to, but Edwards doesn't show up at all.

How low-key is Edwards? Yesterday, on such an important occasion as the championship day, he arranged the schedule of his boss Henry, including entering the field to take a photo with Sloter, and then he didn't show up at all.

Of course, Liverpool's performance this season is indeed good, and the renewal of the Big Three has been suppressed without any thunder, and Liverpool has almost no negative news.

However, Liverpool is really good to the fans. After soliciting a wide range of opinions, it has decided to continue to lock the ticket price of Anfield and not increase the price. This has been 15 consecutive years without price increase.

Fenway Sports Group Football CEO Edwards and Sports Director Richard Hughes, it may be more appropriate to evaluate them before the start of next season. We need to see whether Liverpool's operation in this summer window is successful.

The first thing Edwards did right after returning was to find a suitable successor to Klopp, Slot.

The transfer operation last summer can actually be completely ignored. Fans might as well not put pressure on the club. You don't spend a penny, it's better than buying Mamadashvili and Chiesa. They are not without work mistakes. They chased Zubimendi for a long time, but he finally rejected Liverpool. Fortunately, Hughes and Slot immediately discussed the alternative plan to transform Gravenberch to play as the No. 6 defensive midfielder. Everyone was lucky that the test was successful!

The pressure on Hughes has been relieved. He successfully solved the contract renewal issues of Salah and Van Dijk. The next step is to see whether Arnold will leave.

Then there is the summer lineup reconstruction. The left back, right back, defensive midfielder, offensive midfielder and wingers all need to be strengthened.

Edwards faces a bigger challenge. He needs to continue to develop a development strategy to balance Liverpool's finances and try to achieve a slight profit every season from the 24-25 season. Then, he will keep an eye on UEFA's multi-club control policy and consider how Fenway's multi-club model will develop.

Slot and Liverpool's success this season is due to the scientific management of the Liverpool Club.

Looking at Manchester United, Tottenham, and even Chelsea, the relationship with the head coach may not be very good in many cases, and the club system has not yet been established.
