Graeme Mathie Away?

[Eyrie]

in my job the “head of” the department knows very little about the ins and outs of the day job i do and if push came to shove they probably wouldnt be able to do it themselves, but thats because thier job as the “head of” is to manage the higher level functions of the department such as its operating structure, budgets, resource and productivity etc and managing people who in turn deal with thier responsibilities and so on.

In corporate jobs being the head of something doesnt mean your the foremost authority in that specific thing but its likely you will be the one who manages the people that are, and getting them to do what they do and what the business needs from them.

I wouldn't think Hibs recruitment department is that large.

My first thought is 'this stinks'.

If it were any other club I would feel it would appear a dictator has come in and soon afterwards key staff at the club, Dempster & Mathie are away. I guess we are Ron's toy now and he can do what he likes.

It will be interesting to hear what Ross says at his press conference in the next few days leading up to the game at the weekend.

Results are all that matters, so will judge Gordon on that, but he has shaken things up.

First question: No, I don’t think he will. He might obviously be involved with the deployment and co-ordination of others employed to carry out these duties.

Second question: Because of my first answer, I don’t think he personally or necessarily requires the experience/qualification to scout and recruit. Professionalism, efficiency and competence will be among the pre-requisites for the role.

All in my opinion of-course.

Ps - just read MyJo’s post which pretty much falls in line with my thinking.

Two important things needed for this job.
A good contacts book and a short line of communication to whoever holds the purse strings.

Just had a look at the club directory and Ian Gordon is now listed as Head of Recruitment.

Surely someone didn’t add that by mistake. 😂

He would have got away with it had it not been for those pesky kids on Hibs.net!

The Head of Recruitment has been disrecruited?

Whoever got that wrong will be gone by lunchtime tomorrow.

[Peevemor]

Whoever got that wrong will be gone by lunchtime tomorrow.Or he's had his pocket money stopped and Ron's changed his password...

Yesterday was why he's away. Absolutely toiling with a few key players out.
