Bill's ready & someone's going to pay

Foley clearly means business as wind of change hits Easter Road

- FRASER WILSON

FORTY days was all it took for Bill Foley to be given the keys for a look underneath Hibs' bonnet.

Just a little over a month Bournemouth's since billionaire owner got the green light to throw some of his loose change towards Easter Road, his Black Knight consortium will lead a review into their football structure after a car crash of a season.

Something certainly needs to change at a club that has veered badly off track.

Suggestions director of football Brian McDermott could be moved into a more recruitment-centred role, with another DOF brought in, just reek of another layer of bureaucracy at a time when the club is crying out for a simplified, clear vision.

Nick Montgomery's job is not under threat right now and rightly so after a series of sackings that only deepened the malaise.

But the pressure has ramped up on the Yorkshireman. The five post-split fixtures to be played out in the bottom half aren't carrying all the appeal of a dead rubber any more.
