He’s done what he set out to do, bring in a good coach and improve the squad. Not his fault LJ pulled rank in the summer and filled the squad with the likes of Harbottle.
BMc and IG have supplemented the squad with quality in Jan. Myziane was a player who BMc had scouted for Arsenal a few years back. Emiliano would have been at Hibs in the summer if it was for BMc and better fitness.
He’s stabilised us which was what he came in for. Was never a long term appt I feel and certainly never took it as such when listening to him.

I don’t think we went through a lengthy process to recruit McDermott, to do the same thing 12 months later. He hasn’t achieved anything as it stands.
Of course this is all just speculation.

Everything Andrew mentions, in his post, was part of our conversation too.
I was shocked, because I also thought this was a long-term appointment.

He's only been in role about a year, it shouldn't be a surprise that we've not seen tons of results linked to his work because it should mostly be stuff that takes time to bear fruit.Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)

In another sense being away from home for so long and apart from family is something that’s only sustainable for a period.
I don’t think bottom 6 was part of the plan.

There is a possibility that he was involved in a major error, hypothetically this would cost the club a lot money.
Maybe thats why he's been missing of late.
If this did happen, then he would be forced to leave the club.

I understand at some stage we need to back one of them but he also has to show he’s got what it takes by winning us points. Bottom six finish and he’s gone without a question for me. Even 6th I wouldn’t be desperate to keep him.

Main Roles and Responsibilities of a DOF
Most sporting directors today have a more strategic role in the football operations of a club. Depending on the size of the club and the agreements in place with the head coach or manager, the responsibilities may vary, but these are typically some of the tasks a director of football works on:
Player Recruitment and transfers:
One of the priority tasks of a Director of Football is to identify and recruit players who can enhance the team's performance. They work closely with scouts and the club's Recruitment Department to identify target positions, select targets, negotiate transfers, and secure player contracts.
Team strategy and philosophy:
The Director of Football collaborates with the coaching staff to develop and implement the team's playing style and tactical philosophy. They often work with coaches within the youth setup too in order to ensure a playing style is implemented at all levels and young players making the step up to the first team are well prepared.
Contract negotiations:
Handling player contracts, negotiations, and extensions is an essential responsibility. They also work to resolve contract disputes and manage player relations.
Youth development:
Nurturing young talents within the club's academy system is crucial for sustainable success. The Director of Football oversees the youth development program and ensures a smooth transition of talents to the senior team.
Sporting infrastructure and facilities:
They are involved in the development of training facilities, sports science programs, and other aspects that improve the overall sporting infrastructure of the club.
Budgeting and financial planning:
Collaborating with the club's financial department, the Director of Football ensures that transfer activities align with the club's budget and long-term financial strategy.
Pretty much the George Craig role under Leeann Dempster. Should be fairly standard responsibilities for a DOF, I would suggest.Last edited by RIP; 09-04-2024 at 07:16 AM.

The DoF is one of, if not the, most important roles at the club.
They should oversee everything in the footballing operation setting standards, expectations, style, and transfer policy.
They should be here for a long time, 5 years plus.

They’ll fall off a cliff shortly once early bird finishes.

If we finish this season in the manner we are now - and NM is kept in post - season ticket sales will stagnate. Just as bad as that, the atmosphere at the start of next season will be non-existent and it will move to poisonous very quickly if the same approach continues to be followed.

Back on topic, I really have no idea what BM does, if he is fully on top of the football side thats great.
But someone mentioned earlier that his role might be quite short term - thats not really what we need from a DoF as how we play, type of player and manager we need, succession planning etc are all med to long term actions.
