Missing the top six is a huge failure for the Easter Road club and there's obvious problems on the pitch that need addressed more than anything.
Just a little over a month since Bournemouth’s 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.
Who takes the lead role in the summer recruitment could be vital. Will the link-up with Foley’s consortium give Hibs an “edge”, as chief executive Ben Kensell claimed last month? Will Montgomery get the final say on who comes in? Does he have the backing of the new man on the board? Yet in so many ways Hibs’ problem this season has been the opposite. An overly expansive style and an inability to do the ugly stuff.
The next week, leading St Mirren 2-1 in injury-time, guess what? A 2-2 draw. There’s more… Hearts’ last-gasp winner in the festive derby in Leith, Celtic’s 92nd-minute winner at Easter Road, Ross County with a 98th-minute equaliser in Dingwall and St Johnstone nicking all the points from Leith with a goal nine minutes from time.
