    Let's just say we have an understanding. He plays the game, and we don't mention what happened in the car park at Safeway, that night he got thrown out of Stewpots on Wogan's birthday.

    I will reserve judgment on her until she's had more time to make an impact. So far she's talked the talk, but I've heard it all before. Actions speak louder than words.
    Totally agree. From what shes said, she seems to have the right idea and the right vision for the club and I like how shes trying to get the supports more involved. But like you say, actions speak louder than words.

    My opinion FWIW is that all the supporters should get behind LD and help her to see her plans through.

    She has got a huge task on her hands changing the whole ethos of this club for the better. We will regret it if she decides to walk away.

    Any abuse is absolutely completely unacceptable. Give her a chance. Any changes just wont happen overnight.

    Hi J, I will apologise if I misunderstood LD but I got the impression the onus was on the fans to come back with the plans. I really hope there is away forward as I have never felt so disillusioned with Hibs in all my life

    As a Wednesday attender she was clear she had a plan. That plan was about taking the football club and the football business forward. A part of that plan she wants to bring the fans onside. In that respect she's interested to see which of any of the current models would work at a club the size of Hibs - hence the consultation on ownership or board representation. That's the bit she wants us to decide on. She said more than once if she declared "Here is the plan for fan inclusion" we'd be the first on our feet screaming - why can't you ask us first?

    I was impressed by her handling of the meeting last night and her willingness to be clear on her objectives and explaining the up side and down side to the options. TBF we didn't get that far last night due to discussion always coming back to the team.

    Some interesting statements and apologies to Leeann if I've misquoted (but I have captured the intent).

    "We've been in crisis management for 3 months" "Barrier to buying the club is sustainability - not price" "I have 100% direct access to STF"

    In other words STF is more anxious to sell to someone who has got the financial clout to keep the club going than to get a big pay off as some on here think.

    I'm not convinced she is anything more than Petrie's puppet. Transfer window 'activity' only strengthened that feeling.

    Petrie said the right things alot as well while his actions told a different story.
    Exactly. Not convinced by Dempster at all. Reminds me a bit of the 'good lith' scam that led the Yams along after the posh rugger prick then the BBC boy saw through Mad Vlad and got out. She's a plausible distraction from the real problem.

    My mind sometimes flips and whether she is trusted with looking after Hibs interest but I have moments of wondering is she just looking after RP and STF !

    There is no doubt she sees EM as a community project and not just football.
    She may have alluded but she defo didn't elude

    You are spot on, none of the examples given fits Hibs but there are some good bits in each which might be put together with further ideas to create the Hibs model
    This is how it feels

    You really should engineer an opportunity to say that to her face. Or Petrie's.

    Leeann is a very confident woman, she has bags of experiance and is prepared to hear fans views face to face when did Rod Petrie ever do that. He just sneared and gave that sarcastic smile from the stands and had no intention of listening to any of our views face to face.
    Leeann deserves a chance as does George Craig, Alan Stubbs and the rest of the new staff. [ We have to back them and hope that the consortiums come in and make another offer]. I wish them all the best and our season now starts with the Cowdenbeath game we have to go on a run of games being unbeaten and claw back up the league.

    I was at the meeting last night and she made it very clear that she does have a plan but does not wish to unveil it until she has properly consulted supporters about what they want.
    I hope there is more substance to it than Rod's infamous "five year" one!

    PETRIE GTF
    Is it just me or am I smelling something?
    Leeann is a very confident woman, she has bags of experiance and is prepared to hear fans views face to face when did Rod Petrie ever do that. - Apart from famously being in Behind the goals at home matches. He just sneared and gave that sarcastic smile from the stands and had no intention of listening to any of our views face to face.
    Leeann deserves a chance as does George Craig, Alan Stubbs and the rest of the new staff. [ We have to back them and hope that the consortiums come in and make another offer]. So completely writing off the season as new owners come in to do things their way perhaps during a non transfer window and starting again from scratch - the tried and tested model of success? I wish them all the best and our season now starts with the Cowdenbeath game we have to go on a run of games being unbeaten and claw back up the league. Or, perhaps your view is that the new owners will back the current set up - so why would a change of ownership currently make a difference?

    I've no problem with the Petrie out. His presence is still dividing most if not all of the supporters but wishing our lot good luck until something else happens is frankly confused. So I suspect Yam behavior. Fair play though. We've been doing it for years with the charity thieves......

    I would like to think that this is not what the situation is, but it is. She is a puppet, and was brought in to appease the fans, nothing more, nothing less. Anybody who knows how the club is functioning knows that Farmer and Petrie are in complete control and until they are removed my club will continue its descent into the abyss. I am beginning to lose touch completely with Hibs and it is the idiots in control that are to blame. Don;t think for a second that LDs appointment makes even the slightest bit of difference.

    I will not be spending a single penny until they all go and we will not improve until that happens. Mark my words, Stubbs and Dempster will both be gone by the end of the year and we all know it. Not. Good. Enough.

    I'm just fed up with the Leeann Dempster " love in ". I hope she does turn it around but I have my doubts. Mind you, look how well MWell are doing without her.....

    She talks the talk. But her first transfer window was terrible. So, it's not been a great start but it's early days.

    Unless she is just a puppet for Petrie. Then nothing will change in the future.

    From what people have said on here, who have met her, I am happy to believe that she won't bolt. However, if things are as bad as people are suggesting, I wouldn't blame her. She wouldn't be the first person to move jobs, only to find out the reality doesn't match what she was sold.

    It's no joke!

    There was a couple of yams wearing Anne Budge masks at ER, and there was the guy who got Romanov tattooed on his back, and of course Callum and Wullie wore Russian hats.

    The reason for the original post was to try and guage what people's thoughts were. I wouldn't call it a "love in" if people are optimistic about her being at the club. I wouldn't call it a "hate in" for the people who still have doubts. Just a general consensus of opinions from people who could be bothered to post. Don't read too much into it, time will tell.

    Too early to say that I think. This transfer window certainly didn't address all the issues with the squad, but we might have brought in some really good players. Time will tell, but early signs on those we have brought in are quite promising.
