[0762]

I must say I knew Hibs previous Director of Football, George Craig, who originally came from Falkirk FC's vg youth structure/setup at that time, and he was an excellent operator in that particular role - comprehensively covered all the different elements from supporting the first team manager's footie ops to recruitment from grassroots level upwards and how to nurture and coach each individual age group systematically with proper presentations/explanations re the way it was being done at HFC. I have no doubt he was removed by Ron Gordon in pre-planned cost-cutting measures. Now they are "re-inventing the wheel" after discovering that Ian Gordon is not an all-round effective operator in this area of footie expertise.
