Billy Foley shouldn't be calling Hibs shots and the fact he's sticking his neb in has me deeply worried - Tam McManus

dailyrecord.co.uk

I've been heavily critical of Hibs’ decision-makers in recent years and it’s made me about as welcome as a Jam Tart in the Easter Road boardroom at times.

But this column isn’t for blowing smoke up backsides or acting as a club lackey – no matter how much I love the Hibees. Some of the managerial appointments in the past three years have been baffling.

Credit where it’s due, though. The Gordon family got it spot-on when they promoted David Gray to the hotseat and brought in Malky Mackay as sporting director.

So for Bill Foley to stick his neb in from the other side of the Atlantic this week and accuse the Hibs owners of not listening to him was not just surprising – it was deeply worrying.
