Dave Fallows Leaves Liverpool FC After 12 Years of Service
In a surprise move, Liverpool’s director of scouting and recruitment, Dave Fallows, has announced his departure from the club after 12 years of dedicated service. According to a statement on the club’s official website, Fallows, 64, paid tribute to the people and the culture at Liverpool, stating that it has been an incredible privilege to work for the club.
Fallows, who joined Liverpool alongside chief scout Barry Hunter in 2012, has been a key figure in building the club’s scouting network and recruitment department. His departure is a significant blow, as he will be sorely missed by the club’s hierarchy.
Michael Edwards, now CEO of Football for FSG, lauded Fallows’ commitment and expertise, stating, “Dave has been a trusted colleague for over 10 years and a close friend for two decades. I respect his decision and wish him nothing but success with whatever he does next.” Edwards also extended a warm invitation to Fallows and his family to return to the club, acknowledging the important role he has played in the club’s success.
Fallows’ departure comes as no surprise, given the summer’s restructuring efforts. Given the club’s renewed focus on youth development and scouting, it is likely that there will be an internal reshuffle to fill the void left by Fallows’ departure. The search for his replacement has already begun, with speculation rife about potential candidates to take on the role.
As Fallows departs, he leaves behind a legacy of hard work and dedication. His departure is a significant loss for the club, but his contributions to Liverpool’s on-field success will not be forgotten.
