Ron Gordon believes he CAN sell Hibs for a profit when eventually leaves and admits “that’s the whole play here.”
The American has been at the Easter Road helm for over three years now, but those haven’t been the easiest on the pitch for the Hibees. Gordon is now on the third manager of his tenure after the controversial decision to sack Jack Ross was compounded with the disastrous appointment of rookie Shaun Maloney, who lasted just five months.
Lee Johnson is the latest incumbent and after a sticky start, has the Leith club sitting third in the table, although a shambolic Premier Sports Cup campaign left the former Hearts midfielder needing a decent start to the Premiership campaign, which after the first round of games, he's had. Gordon wants Hibs to be regulars in European competition. They played in last season's Europa Conference League, but were knocked out by Croatian outfit Rijeka in the third qualifying round, and had to watch as theory city rivals guaranteed themselves group stage football this season - ironically, with back-to-back derby wins at Tynecastle and Hampden.
