Thread: "Speculation"

    "Speculation"

    Leeann Dempster quoted in BBC interview about the Neil Lennon debacle saying some of the speculation was "outrageous"
    Top tips hen, don't treat your paying customers who've invested a lifetime of support, blood, sweat and many tears in supporting Hibernian FC like mugs.
    My head doesn't zip up the back, and we do deserve to know why finance that could have been channeled into the team goes to a manager and assistant to keep "schtum"
    Just hope there's plenty clauses in the new man's contract that don't allow us to be stiffed if it all goes Pete Tong.
    Small rant, sorry. Just how I'm feeling

    How much money did Lennon and Parker receive exactly?

    Was just about to ask the same. No one outside of those involved has the slightest idea.

    Managers come and go... the supporters or anyone else should never know exactly why. These matters are obviously confidential.
    Be great if we could just move along now and concentrate on the manager and team we actually have...

    Her comments protect all parties. Neil has said complimentary things about his time here, Leeann has been complementary to Neil.
    We have no right to know any detail covered in the compromise agreement so time to move on....

    I do not as a Hibby of 50 odd years think that "I'm entitled" to know the precise ins and outs of "every single business matter pertaining to my club".

    I for one do not feel like I've been treated, in your words, "like a mug" by my club.

    Neither do I feel like, again in your words, "stiffed" by my club when things appear to go wrong.

    I respect my club's stance of "discretion and confidentiality" re the circumstances surrounding Neil Lennon's departure.

    Well, for a kick off nobody knows how much Lennon or Parker were paid. How exactly can the club reveal why Lennon and Parker left the club without breaking what sounds like a legal arrangement? And the big question nobody ever answers … why would Neil Lennon sign a gagging order, or in this case an order which bounds 'both' parties to confidentiality, if he was entirely blameless in what went on … surely if he felt he had been treated unfairly or unjustly a guy who is never afraid to speak his mind or stand up for himself like Neil Lennon would surely have told Hibs to stick their gagging order. It looks to me like this arrangement is beneficial to both parties.


    She is right, some of the speculation was outrageous, as was the nature and tone of some of the attacks on Dempster and the club on social media, including her twitter account.

    Its done …. FFS lets move on.

    Couldn't agree more. Bullometer is off the scale on this site at the moment too many provocateurs.

    Anyone mind that time Paul Hanlon equalised in stoppage time to make it 2-2 at Tynie?

    I suspect the the original poster doesn't have a legal background. Call it a hunch.

    I have been a “customer” for nigh on 50 years and I feel that it is none of my business on what happened with Neil Lennon

    Can you explain how it has obviously cost the club?

    And since you're 'obviously' in the know how much are we talking?
