Michael Edwards has kept a low profile in his role as sporting director but he's been pivotal in Liverpool becoming champions
Perhaps the best place to start is the story Harry Redknapp tells when he is asked about Michael Edwards and the remarkable chain of events that has taken a frustrated IT teacher from Peterborough to a position of power and influence at the football club whose supporters now have a banner pronouncing, “Champions of Everything”.
Rodgers had not been keen on Firmino whereas Edwards and the scouting team were certain the Brazilian would be an ideal wearer of Liverpool’s colours. Chief scout Barry Hunter had tracked him in Germany and the numbers showed how, by being involved in 45 league goals in the two seasons up to 2015, Firmino was the second-highest performing Brazilian in Europe. He was second only to Neymar. Rodgers remained unconvinced and, to begin with, Firmino was used on the right wing.
