Doctor

😂

Bookshelves are at weird angles though. Boyd again seems alright.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Quite enjoyed that. Neil Lennon part of the panel on the show next week looking back at some OF memories, no thanks!

[ShinyFantastic]

Did she talk about loyalty points?

[Sammy7nil]

Leeann has been fantastic but if we are honest she and the club just got very lucky when we won the cup. Everything changed on 21 May.

There was no luck involved in the cup win. We were run in a very conservative business fashion before she arrived, she chose to speculate to accumulate, appointing a hungry manager and giving him a great budget which allowed us to field the team we did that season. It’s no coincidence we won the cup so soon after changing our whole approach.

All IMO of course.

Lucky? Really?

There was nothing lucky about it, we put together a team good enough to win it - we very nearly won a double that season.

Eh? Did they get lucky building the foundations that has alloweded the club to drive on and compete at the right end of the Prem? Honestly some folk need to seriously have a word, they completely rebuilt Hibs from what was a car crash of a club. Cup win or not Leeann and co deserve so much credit they are the real heroes for me in all this, they saved our club from years of emptiness and drifting in the lower leagues.

It’s a good interview and Leeann is very articulate and honest and talks a lot of sense. Great to see communication like this from the club and quite different to anything I can remember before her time.

[Nicho87]

Very interesting that she said that she wants to see hibs as a high pressing attacking team. I personally love that. Just interesting that before this structure was in place hibs would have dreamt of telling a manager a style they prefer to see. Butcher comes to mind.

Love Leeann, very passionate and it has rubbed of to the management team and us the fans.

On what basis were we lucky?

We had not won the cup for over 100 years, we were two down to our city rivals I think perhaps we had a little luck in winning the cup if you think we didn't fair enough.

Every club needs luck winning the cup, that’s what it takes to win the thing. Can’t believe you’d throw a comment “they just got lucky” at Leeann and the work she’s done. Are you going to completely ignore the rest of the work she’s done?

And some people should be more tolerant of others views it is a forum after all and there will be different opinions. If we had not won the cup a great season would have ended in failure in 3 comps we could have won. I don't think the fans would have turned out in the same numbers the following season and our progress may have stalled a little.

In winning any cup competition you need a bit of luck just look at the Ross County final.

Did you read my post or did you just pick out the four words?

So unlucky not to win the league cup but lucky to win the Scottish. Half empty if half full? I can’t make my mind up.

If you are honest everything didn't change on 21 May. It changed when Leeann walked through the door at Easter Road.

I will leave to you to ponder but at least we agree you need luck or if you don't believe in luck a few breaks to win a cup.

As said Leeanne has been fantastic and of course there was a lot of great work done before the cup win but it is the cup win that has made the huge difference and without it the club would be in a very different position.

Who at the very least should be given some credit for seeing that and securing her services.....

That was nothing to do with Petrie.

[Ozyhibby]

The only thing lucky about the cup run was that it was lucky that Leeann had came in and put in place a recruitement system that has seen us sign players with the quality needed to take advantage of the opportunities when they presented themselves.
