Surely not, Mark.

Well, right now, the lead table doesn't lie.

I think, Hibbs, right now, the immediate goal is to get out of the relegation zone.

They are scrapping with force.

teams at the bottom of the table we're only nine games in so we're not a crisis point and of course after defeat fans are always a bit emotional when you think about it rationally rory's right ebbs haven't got the worst squad in the league on paper they potentially don't have the most balanced squad that would be my argument there are a lot of good players in certain positions but i think they look light at the top end of the pitch they don't score enough goals they don't have a a veritable number nine And defensively at centre-half, I'm not convinced they're stronger than they were at the start of the season because they've lost Warren Ohora and Rocky Boucherie is injured.

And they're also playing a style of football that actually exposes the back line, that makes them very easy to get at.

Ultimately, Hibs fans will fear relegation because of where they are in the league and because of the set of pictures coming up.

Let's talk a wee bit then about the relationship between the Hibs supporters and the folk running the club Mark tension seems to be running high

We might need to take a few steps back to, to move forward again." But suddenly you put a little bit of, uh, run of form and results together, and they will be dreaming of, of really going close again this season in the league.

There was right to be apprehension about a rebuild because Hearts fans hadn't watched a rebuild under Jamestown Analytics.

But what Jamestown do is that they make sure that for every player that's sold or every, even every coach that moves on, there's somebo- there's four or five options straight off the bat that they can turn to, which means the transition should be relatively seamless.

And this season, if you think about the players that have left, I'll give a great example of Alexandros Kiziridis, who this time last year was brilliant for Hearts, sold to Corum in Turkey, and some people thought, "Well, who, who's gonna come in and replace him?" Well, they signed James McPake.

So, uh, Josh McPake, sorry.

They signed Calvin Miller, and Saba Kurjota's come in, um, from, from being a reserve last season to now being quite a prominent player.

Hearts behind the scenes now are really strong.

This is going to take a little bit of time for Redik to get his ideas across and get this Hibs team firing, isn't it?

So tell us what brought you to China in the first place and what was going through your mind when you first landed on Chinese soil?

My journey into China started back in 1982.

I went on a Christmas family vacation to Beijing and then to some of the other cities in China like Xi'an and Shanghai and Hangzhou.

We flew into Beijing in December of 82 on a nearly empty 747.

And when we touched down, China seemed very mysterious because it was quite dark.

There were very few lights.

We went into the city and what was surprising was at that time there were no cars.

So can you maybe tell us a little bit about what this book is all about? And what do you mean, actually, risky business? What was the biggest risk you ever took while doing business here in China?
