Vlad Magic Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 He actually speaks well. Credit where it’s due. However I don’t think he realises the size of the task of owning a Scottish football club. Especially as a foreign owner. As is always the case it’s the people that matter. I don’t think he has the right people in place that will make a significant difference. Time will tell.

Let’s go all the way back to 1900😁. In 20 years Hearts won 30 derbies to Hibs 6 in all comps. 8 draws. Incredible record at the time. A few wee unbeaten runs split by single Hibs wins. They couldn’t muster consecutive victories. When Hibs managed to turn the tide for around 7 games as the 1920s progressed…what was the score of Hearts last victory in that incredible 20 year sequence? 5-1. 😄🇱🇻⚽️🏆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely he played down the importance of the recruitment team to aid his own argument - they 'just' vet the players, look at terms etc, then it's decided by committee and manager get's a say. Earlier he was talking about achieving excellence in every area but with recruitment he was just saying how hard working and committed his son is and he has good insight. Didn't answer the question about what makes him the most qualified and suitable for that position. Generally, I think his style will play well to the Hibs fans but they have regressed badly and whether this guy has any substance will become very clear to all...

Watt-Zeefuik Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 The treatment of Ross and now Maloney is exactly how you get your club a reputation as a poison chalice. It's one thing to fire a rookie manager after 4 months, it's quite another to sell a £3m player out from under him, refuse to use that to back any new signings, and then blame him for the catastrophe that follows. You might be able to get away with that with a foreign manager who's not well known, but Scottish football is a very small place and Maloney and Ross are well known in the country. There's talk of them getting Kennedy from Celtic, but if Kennedy and Maloney are close, he's going to get an earful about the mess and not go near it. Mackay has had enough pariah status (fully deserved) that he might be desperate enough to get a bigger job than Dingwall, but beyond that it's hard to imagine who with any Scotland connections will be desperate enough to take the abuse that that job comes with. Names like Martin Rennie start coming to mind. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure Mr Brightside (or a few others) are on board. From lockdown.net Mr Brightside "I think the guy is totally deluded. His barometer of success will be Web Stats and impressions. Losing your identity will mean we wont be average anymore? He doesnt like Persevere? Very concerned. But there is nothing we can do now. It's his club and he can do what he wants which by the sounds of it will be promoting his boy to CEO after the masterclass in recruitment is done."
