A bit of internal strife is brewing at Easter Road
Bill Foley has taken aim at Hibs’ hierarchy and accused them of ignoring his input following his £6million investment at Easter Road. But after Saturday’s League Cup humbling at Kelty Hearts the American billionaire has said: “I believe they will listen now.”
Foley wants Hibs, who finished eighth last season leading to Montgomery's removal, to be in the European positions every year. The Black Knight group were understood to be overseeing a review of Hibs football structure during the summer with David Gray appointed head coach after Nick Montgomery was axed in May.
Following Saturday’s defeat to League One part-timers Kelty, which came after convincing wins over Queen’s Park and Elgin City, Foley said: "I am absolutely looking out for them. If the other ownership group at Hibernian listens to us, they will do better. Hibs have been at pains to state they will not become a feeder club for Bournemouth since the agreement with Foley was signed off. They said from the outset they would have the final say on signings and that any players arriving from one of Foley’s other clubs would have to be of benefit to Hibs.
