Director Of Football Advice has a nice ring to it. Its very different to Director Of Football & you only need tippex the 'Advice" part off his office door sign when he gets the gig full time.

They really only need to fill the Footballing Advice Director role as well and they're pretty much back to normal.

Any candidates who might work with Jim here? I'll go for his Doppelganger, Peter Griffin. He'd probably have done a better job of the stand as well

What role is he in if not Director of football?

Actually think a decent appointment.

Prob in charge of the shop since he seems to be in there a lot?😁

Given the time pressures and escalating costs of the ongoing challenge to our relegation we have decided to put our recruitment process on hold for now," the club said. "Such an important appointment deserves our full focus and uninterrupted attention, which, right now, is simply not possible."

They seem blind to the fact that they are solely responsible for the "escalating cots" of legal action and that they'd have plenty of time to give this appointment their full focus if they hadn't embarked on such action.

Interesting that they’re now referring to their relegation properly.

The Edinburgh clubs are both so different. Hibs being the progressive club, always exploring new and exciting ventures. Hearts, stuck in the past, droning on about derby records years ago under Wallet Mercenary, bringing back Levein, Neilson Jefferies umpteen times, trying desperately to sign Sam bloody Nicholson etc. No wonder the youth are swaying towards Hibs in large numbers. You'd be embarrassed to support that boring little Championship club. Even their colours are boring. They really are the burgundy Volvo 740 of the football world.

Are large numbers of youths swaying to Hibs? I'd love it to be true but we would need some kind of evidence to back that claim up.

If any young person likes wearing maroon polyester then that’s up to them, but they won’t get much action.

Has taken some kickings from Hibs over the years: 7-0 / 6-2 / 3-0, that’s
16-2 in just three games alone. And quite a few others throughout the 1970’s against the Tornadoes. Welcome back Jim.

Best flumps manager in my lifetime by some distance. Nice guy too. Back at the club he loves at a ripe old age. Well done him.

Anyway back to the legal challenge thread so I can go back to ridiculing them.

In all fairness, they did try with Cathro. It didn’t work so they went for the tried and tested.

Tried and tested got them relegated, so good luck with that Hearts.

Ian Murray, MP on Scottish News calling for a review of Scottish Football led by fans. The bold Jambo says that the ‘ the COVID crisis has shone a very bright light on the governance of the Scottish game on individual clubs, on fan’s contribution to keeping clubs going and a really good time for Scottish football to reflect on the clubs themselves, the national game from the national team down to grass roots and once and for all do something about it.’

Only one thing has rattled his cage and we all know what that is.

[Brummie_Hibs]

I'm all for a review of Scottish football, but it should start next season.

Of course he does

They’re absolutely obsessed at hearts with all things hibs. So much so that they’ve taken their eye off the ball and got relegated.

If he's another one that's saying there should be a commissioner making the decisions I'd argue the decision to end the league based on ppg was correct, the decision to promote and relegate vs no promotion or relegation was correct and no reconstruction, albeit harsh on 3 clubs, was the best decision for more clubs than reconstruction would have been. It would have been very likely commissioner that a commissioner would have made the same decisions so we would have still had all the same people squealing about the same things and wanting change to the governance.

I'd say having a commissioner would probably lead to more disputes and court cases/arbitration because what we have now is a democractic process rather than an autocracy. No doubt there would be more calls for suspensions/sackings/investigations from the likes of Rangers and Hearts when they don't get their way.

The one thing change that would improve things is the 11-1 vote in the Premiership but that doesn’t suit Celtic and Rangers so probably unlikely to be changed.

Well, obviously!


"I very much admire the businesslike way Hibs have handled this unprecedented crisis. They have been very discrete, approaching players and members of staff in private, without attempting to use undue pressure, and threats of obscure rules, in an effort to get them to lower their wages to help the club see out the rest of the season.

I am particularly impressed with the professional manner in which they have avoided making public statements, which we all know has the danger of allowing emotion to override logic.

Their supporters have stepped up to the plate and bought Season Tickets in large numbers, purely for the love of their club. That, and the donations from HSL, are very admirable."



...are among the many complimentary things about Hibs that he didn't actually say.

What did he say?

'Jefferies admitted that it was “unfortunate” and “sad” that players, coaches and staff at clubs across Scotland have lost their jobs and had to accept wage reductions as a result of the Covid-19 crisis.


But he said: “The onus is still on putting a team on the pitch. Hibs have made massive cuts and they have let staff and coaches go. Maybe the reason they have made the cuts is so they can bring in better players than what they have and improve their team.


“Okay, some players have had to depart. Hearts, Hibs and other clubs have done that. It is easy to have a go at clubs for doing that. How can they do this? How can they do that? They have got a point." '
