The former Easter Road head of recruitment admits mistakes have been made in recent years
Former Hibs head of recruitment Ian Gordon admits the club have performed a U-turn on their transfer strategy after getting it wrong in the past.
“With Malky coming in, through those discussions it was very much we wanted to have that Scottish core, and that British experience,” Gordon told the Scotsman. “That is our main focus but we still want to explore new markets and keeping that going, but it's about reassessing where we are at. We tried to go too international, too young, too quickly.
“For me, it was about driving the process of how that manager was presented the players and ultimately it was the manager who made the decisions on recruitment. We were very manager-led recruitment but collectively we worked day-in, day-out to present those lists. There's been a lot of failings but there have been a lot of positives. Over the past three years we've done £7 million in player sales, which are great numbers.
