The new Easter Road boss admits recruitment will be a collective process along with sporting director Malky Mackay and his team

Marink Reedijk has admitted that transfers will be a collective decision at Hibs, refusing to confirm if he will have the overall final say.

The new Easter Road boss is winless after three games in the dugout with the Hibees sitting bottom of the Premiership table in seven points.

Fans are prepared to give the new man time, acknowledging that he's attempting to implement his on style with a squad he inherited from predecessor David Gray.

The strength of that squad is an issue for punters, especially after Grant Hanley was thrown on as an emergency striker in a bid to to snatch an equaliser during Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Celtic.

Sporting director Malky Mackay has taken the brunt of the criticism, with fans demanding to know why an experienced replacement for Kieron Bowie still hasn't been added since his £6.5million switch to Hellas Verona last January.

On-loan Nathan Lowe is injured after a less than impressive start to a campaign in which he said he was aiming to be the league's top scorer, while record signing Thibault Klidje continues to divide opinion.

Ultras group Block Seven - currently banned from Easter Road due to recent behaviour at away games - have been especially critical of Mackay.

Reedijk will likely be busy when the window opens, although insists 30 brains are better than one when it comes to making transfer calls.

"At the end of my day, if I look at my job here, it's winning matches and make the players we have here better. So that's my role, that's how I see it.

"However, I also know that this is an important part of the football club. Therefore you always sit down with Malky, with the recruitment guys on and informal and formal basis to discuss how the current team looks, what we think we need and they will then look for a certain profile.

"We sketch as a staff as well. That's important because I have one brain and there are 30 others brains in the building. If you use these accordingly and appropriately, then I think the outcome will be even better."

When pushed on whether he as manager will have the final say on transfers, Reedijk replied: "I think we do this together and I think this is also important to do because at the end of the day, everybody needs to carry a certain decision."

Reedijk brought Rogier Molhoek with him as his No 2, the pair having worked so well together at Beveren. Former Scotland U17s boss Brian McLaughlin has been added as first team coach, with Scott Thomson promoted to first team goalkeeping coach.

The Dutchman admitted he would have liked to bring two bodies with him. He added: "For me, that was also a team thing. It's important to have someone who knows how I want to play and how I like to train.

"But also it was important to me that there was a lot of Scottish blend, so to say, that has some roots within the club as well. If you want to do things together, this is a benefit for everyone.

"Although I can read and research a lot on the club, people, who live in Scotland and worked here for the last couple if years, they know better from the start. This is for me something I think is important.

"I said I want one, maybe two persons with me in order to come here. Eventually it was one. Furthermore, I want Scottish people who know the league, who know the club, who know the players properly from the start. We can work to bring the two lives and the two ways together in an appropriate manner.

"My way is always based on I have my ideas, but you are in a certain context and you need to take this into account. So it's not my way or the highway, it's my way within the way which is already here in Scotland.
