Wasn't it Gold who brought in Billy McNeill as some sort of behind-the-scenes development guy?

Crazy stuff. Good supervillain name though.

I had sent a stinging fax to Hibs after they sold Darren Jackson. Lex phoned me at the house and we had a discussion about the merits of keeping Jackson and selling him. Lex was convinced we did not need Jackson and I thought it was a huge mistake. At the end of the conversation he said " I think we are actually agreeing on the same point ". I told him we were not agreeing at all. He signed off with " it's all going to work out and we can replace DJ "

Needless to say no second phone call after we were relegated that season

Yes it was the cutting edge back then. Bizarre to think of communicating that way in this day and age of instant e mails. Funnily enough it was hand written before being fired off to ER.
