Backroom staff exodus to potentially continue

Liverpool could face further losses this season, with chairman Tom Werner roaming Merseyside to question the disappointing outcome of the 2014-15 season.

While manager Brendan Rodgers is expected to remain at Anfield, albeit by threads, the Northern Irishman has already faced the departure of two coaches, with long-term right hand man Colin Pascoe joining coach Mike Marsh is leaving the Kop.

Nonetheless, the exodus is yet to be bought to a halt, according to the Express. Liverpool have ultimately paid the price for failing to replace Luis Suarez following his big-money move to Camp Nou – which saw him lift the Champions League in just his 16th match of the competition this evening.

As a result, Michael Edwards, the club’s head of performance and analysis, is expected to be facing his final days with the club, while head of recruitment, Dave Fallows, and chief scout, Barry Hunter, are also unlikely to remain with the Premier League outfit. The decisions come following the demands of club owners, Fenway Sports Group.

Pascoe and Marsh were forced out after being deemed “not strong enough” for a club of such status, and their replacement process has already begun.

Robbie Fowler is a rumoured target for a new role at the club, having already taken a position alongside former Reds Rob Jones and Steve McManaman within the academy.

Sami Hyypia, Sammy Lee and Jamie Carragher are all rumoured targets for the club’s owners, should further departures be announced in the coming days within their rejuvenation in a push for the league title.
