Probert Leaves Town For Liverpool Role
Friday, 11th Jul 2025 14:23

Town’s director of football operations Gary Probert has left the club to take on a role at Liverpool, TWTD understands.

Probert joined the Blues in November 2021 having previously worked under Town chairman and CEO Mark Ashton at Bristol City.

Prior to his eight-year spell with the Robins, Probert was county development manager with Gloucestershire FA and before that was youth development manager and further education manager at Forest Green Rovers between 2005 and 2007.

Probert’s position at Town saw him oversee recruitment, the academy, analysis, U21s and loans programme, playing a pivotal role in the development of emerging talent within the youth set-up.

In May, Probert, who has a BSc in Sports Coaching from the University of Wales Institute, an UEFA A Licence and an FA Advanced Youth Award, graduated from the FA’s Technical Directors Course in May alongside Blues academy director Dmitri Halajko.

Mark wouldn’t be here if we weren’t up for sale, sadly after Gamechangers statement, everyone in football knows this.

He’s staying for continuity, for the sale, and the new owners will bring their people in.., that’s very clear. Hopefully it’s John Textor, a global network, big leverage, and understands English football. He’d be a leap forwards.

I actually feel for Mark. I’m not his biggest fan, he’s not elite, and we need better at a level above.

But at his level he’s an excellent operator, and as bad as he’s got the last 12 months (and it now clear what promises he made the owners) he deserves to be treated with more respect.

Brett and Gamechanger should wobble their heads, after that statement, that’s not how elite people do business at the top of football, we’re better off moving in a new direction.

I really hope it’s John.

He’ll buy a majority stake in us or Sheff Wed, and I think in for obvious reason, we will be a much easier deal to do.

He’ll try Wednesday, get frustrated and buy us is my gut.

Agree that all of the recent off-field activity - financial, investment trawl and backroom staff departures - are a cause for unease. Caused in part by lack of clarity and communication from the club, both explaining across the board situation/decisions and, hopefully, seeking to calm concerns.

The current drip feed of what, to some, might seem negative info, raises questions of club stability and future governance.
