Executive director Ian Gordon insists Hibernian's relationship with Black Knight Group has not been damaged by claims that the club did not listen to the investor when appointing head coach David Gray and sporting director Malky Mackay.
Executive director Ian Gordon insists Hibernian's relationship with Black Knight Group has not been damaged by claims that the club did not listen to the investor when appointing head coach David Gray and sporting director Malky Mackay.
Now owner Gordon, in a Sky Sports interview in which he admitted his own previous appointment as head of recruitment was a mistake, said: "There have been discussions since then and the relationship is in a good place."I think it's been well reported that, on the hiring of our manager and sporting director, Black Knight was very involved in that process throughout.
"I think we got that wrong," the 34-year-old said. "And now, through those lessons, it's got us to a point where having someone like Malky, with his Scottish experience, and someone with David, who knows the club inside and out and his Scottish experience, was the direction we needed to get back to. Foley's multi-club network also includes Lorient and Auckland, but further questions were raised when Hibs did not sign any players from within the Black Knight Group this summer.
Gordon admitted that the sacking of Jack Ross as team boss in December 2021 "was a bit of a knee-jerk reaction and lessons have been learned since then".
