Given how our last two summer transfer windows have gone would this be a massive loss? George Craig can go with him too.

I often find that if we sign a good player people put it down to the recruitment team but any poor players are often blamed on the manager. While I think there’s a chance Heckingbottom (and Lennon) signed a couple of their own the majority will be recruitment team recommendations. Doidge for example, I’m sure he was a target under Lennon as well. Heckingbottom also commented that Newell was one we were interested before he arrived.Last edited by Heisenberg; 05-09-2019 at 07:40 AM.

The 36-year-old is currently head of player identification and recruitment at Hibs.
Mathie- whose dad Ross also played for Killie- was previously a scout at Celtic before he headed to Easter Road.
The former Motherwell player has worked alongside several Hibs managers like Alan Stubbs, Neil Lennonand now Paul Heckingbottom.
Mathie works strongly on data analysis and has also put together a number of presentations for in-coming transfers at Hibs.
Kilmarnock are looking to revamp their football operations department and Mathie is very much at the forefront of their thoughts.

Last 2 managers have ignored most of his recommendations, maybe feels time to go where his work is appropriated, plus it's a step up doing the same role as Craig.

Probably cheesed off at recent events surrounding signings

The article implies that he is only one of the people being considered for the position at Killie. If he does not get the position or decided not to move what will the negativity focus on then?Last edited by CentreLine; 05-09-2019 at 07:21 PM.

As I’ve said, I’ve no doubt PH and NL will have signed a couple of their own players. The majority will be recommended by our absolutely fantastic “footballing department”.

I don't know if the signings were recommended by the recruitment team or were players Heckingbottom wanted (you've got to imagine Jackson was a player he wanted) with GoalsMcGinlay saying Vela and Newell were two players Heckingbottom was advised against signing.
We've certainly taken a different approach in that all our initial signings came from the lower leagues of England, with none of them having experience of playing in Scotland. Contrast that with previous signings, who were typically players who had played up here, often young, with a point to prove, supplemented by some "exotic" signings like Malonga. The last three signings looking more like the type we had brought in previously.

Get poaching staff from Motherwell and Livi please. Both seem to be able to pick up gems on a low budget.

Stubbs used the scouting system perfectly and had a great eye for a player. Lennon used a few agents and players he already knew, some worked, some didn't. As above 2 of Heckingbottom's choices were flagged by the scouts as not good enough for the money being spent but he wanted them anyway, Hallberg looks a typical recruitment team signing, out of the blue unknown like Malonga and Slivka.

He specifically says that Newell was one he has known for years but the club had as well and “everyone was on board” with his signing. Couple of minutes in.
