This review...how exactly are they looking at what brought about these losses? I'll tell them, the other team scores more goals than us, generally because we were playing pap. What then? Are they football people, tacticians, etc?

Isn’t it pretty obvious our recruitment has been poor in recent years though? Just look at the squad!
The BKs don’t have to be officially in charge to have a lot of influence. The Gordon’s said they wanted, and Ron had planned to bring in a partner like them; eg a partner with more sporting experience. It’s pretty logical that given how things have gone, that they’d make use of that partner.
That doesn’t mean Foley calling the shots, but it probably does mean Foley, or someone connected to him, leading this review and making some recommendations. Just look at our January signings, would appear a couple of them came via the BK link, but presumably we had some choice in whether to accept or not.

I read it as it was written. A review, along with Black Knight, will take place then any decisions to improve the club will be made based on that.

I, probably naively, am really optimistic about the outcome of this review.
I think the Gordons need the help. I think Black Knight have the knowledge and the means to set us up to have a better chance of being successful than we have at the moment. I expect it to be revolutionary in that it forces significant change in personnel, structure and processes at the club.
I expect to see a new Sporting Director (or similar title) with Brian McDermott either leaving the club or moving to a recruitment role (think this was suggested in an Evening News article), with the academy also going through a lot of change. We know that the training centre is being upgraded, and I think this will see more than just an indoor pitch provided to improve the facility. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see appointments made by Black Knight FC either on Hibs' books or paid externally, recruitment will take a step up, with a pretty major overhaul of the first team.
I still can't make up my mind if Monty will be here to take the first team or not.Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)

Obviously Eddie Howe was the man who guided them trough the leagues but after being promoted back to the top league Gary O'Neil had done a decent job after inheriting a bad situation from Scott Parker and kept them up confortably in the end. He continues to do a decent job at Wolves. He wasn't their man though and there was no sentiment.
If you are fronting up a lot of money (even if it's relatively small fry comparative to your overall wealth) and implementing new structures and strategies then it stands to reason you want your own people leading that. I don't believe anyone involved in the failing football operation at Hibs will be comfortable right now and nor should they be.

It has shades of the moment of realisation Rod Petrie had about a year before we were relegated that he really needed some help and that things had to change.
Change they did, albeit we had to endure another lower league adventure. No doubt the changes during that period help provide a total change in direction for the better - and this just sort of feels like it should be the same.
Just because Petrie, like the Gordons, was around for some bad times, shouldn’t take away from the fact that his actions brought about some good times as well.

If you were a major investor coming in to take as active a role as BKFC seem to be; would you not want some say in the most important decision a club can make…the appointment of a new manager, so close to having an agreement in place. It might’ve already been in place as the hold up was the SPFL in the end.
Is it totally outwith the realms of possibility that Monty might just be the BKFC man given the sound bites we’re now hearing about them thinking he hasn’t had the right players (which I agree with, the squad is in the main really poor and unbalanced.)

Did Killie, St Mirren or Dundee hire a McDermott, a coach from the A league, pay £700K for a striker, flood their squad with loanees or hold two fundamental reviews of their football operation in order to finish Top Six?
This is what happens when a club becomes pretentious, corporate and remote. It's all fluff and nonsense and the reason why we are so soft.
If a local builder ran Hibs, hired an SPFL manager and players and installed a hard work ethic I would feel much more connected to our club.
We need to learn from our rivals and do the simple things right. It's not rocket science.

It’s pretty standard stuff. It hasn’t gone well, but it’s hardly pretentious.

Comes across very well, knows the league inside out, good recruitment and got his Dundee side playing brilliant football.
Hes moved McCowan centrally who is flourishing, recruited guys like Beck, Boateng and Sylla who are very good players.
Seems very similar to Mcinnes but sides play more football. Weirdly Dundee have conceded the 3rd most amount of goals in the league, something I’m sure he’ll want to address.
