Contract not renewed. Decision taken to give Hogan greater responsibilities.

Hogan will hope to do more than his predecessor, and it will be interesting to see if he can help take Liverpool to the next level.
The club are currently the fourth most valuable football brand on the planet behind Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United, and the mission of the new CEO will be to overtake the trio.
