FSG make two seismic changes as Liverpool come full circle
It seems that the more things change at Liverpool, the more things stay the same under Jurgen Klopp.
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.
