Mike Gordon's powers at Liverpool are being watered down.

The Boston Globe says amid FSG inviting offers for Liverpool, Gordon, the main link between FSG and Reds boss Jurgen Klopp, is understood to be transferring some of his job responsibilities to CEO Billy Hogan.

Gordon, is taking a step back from what had been a hands on role with the Reds for more than a decade, although the shifting of some of his role onto Hogan is not related a potential sale of the team after it emerged earlier this week that the owners were open to both investment and a potential full takeover.

Gordon has been a major link between FSG and Liverpool but has, the Globe reports, sought to step away from the day-to-day at the club and pass more onto Hogan, someone with a growing reputation inside FSG.

Sources told the Globe that the move was a 'natural evolution' with Hogan set to take up the kind of prominence at Liverpool that Sam Kennedy does in the same role with the Boston Red Sox.
