I see that there's a thread on Brokeback about the merits (or not) of having a Director of Football.
As you would expect, they see themselves as ground breakers in Scotland without once comparing Potter's peformance in the role with someone else doing the same job at a club of similar size on their doorstep.

I know that we're far from perfect, and may well hit a wee tough spell during the season (as per usual), but how much of our current, relative success do people think is down to George Craig and the systems that have been put in place? Or is it mostly down to the manager?

And they've got Levein currently filling two roles when he's not been up to either

Was much better under Vlad when they had a director of football who no one knew who it was.
After much goading to finally reveal all Jim Duffy appeared briefly.

Really good interview with George from a couple of months ago.

I think the last 3 years success is as much down to Leeann & George as it is to Stubbs & Lennon. They picked them and have worked with them, trying to give them the facilities and resources they want.
I like the bit about how he says he basically is a director of football, but basically without the bluster.
Look, Hearts like to make big deals about things - fan ownership, new stands, training facilities, the director of football model - in my opinion we're in a better position than them in all 4 areas - we just tend to go about these type of things without too much fuss.

Everything good that has happened has been driven by Leann Dempster. She has recruited all the good people and is the biggest single factor in our recovery.

Hearts are in a real bad way and will finish bottom six imo.

It’s great that Petrie has stepped back. The less he does at Hibs the better.
Gives him more time to spend at the SFA which may explain the state they are in.

Misjudging it..no big appointment has been made without him getting involved ...he remains very active...It is not simply Leeann at the helm

Some might think we don't even have a DOF that's how competently and quietly GC is going about the role.
That tells you how successful it is. We don't ever need to shout from the rooftops like our ADHD city neighbours when things are going well.
Hibernian Reborn is a must watch for anyone that's not seen it. Gives a great insight in to the role GC has played at the club since joining

As we look across the city I think it’s also fair to acknowledge the efforts around the infrastructure. Was Garry O’Hagan and Scott Lindsay responsible for that?"We know the people who have invested so far are simple fans." Vladimir Romanov - Scotsman 10th December 2012
"Romanov was like a breath of fresh air - laced with cyanide." Me.
