"Speculation"

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.

I agree with almost all of your post !
Apart from the outrageous abuse LD has received,@uck me ! " We're so fortunate to have someone of her stature and ability " rant over.

Wether people agree with what others say, we are all entitled to say what we think!
Anyone on here says one thing negative they are shot down in flames!!!

Anyone on here disagrees with something negative and folk greet about it.

They're entitled to say what they think as well. It's a two-way thing.

Have we not done this to death already?

How ridiculous!! Of course it's cost the club ffs
You think NL went without his contract getting payed out!

If he was found guilty of gross misconduct then no, he won't have been.

This is the nub of it - folk think they should be able to utter absolute dugs***e and not be challenged on it in the name of free speech. That's no how it works, if you say something I think is daft and I point out that I think it's daft and the reasons why then that's the very essence of free speech.

Uplifted by the responses on this thread, well played Hibernian lasses and lads.

Full interview on youtube

Ta. Definite indication in that interview that Hibs had an eye on Higginbotham before Lenny left, so it looks as if the incident where he threw the chair at Leighanne, missed and it hit Petrie was the last rather than the first straw.

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

That's quite a rant from someone that, let's be honest about this, knows nothing about what happened... same as the rest of us.

[Doh Rae Me]

WCH is just being honest, he's saying it as he feels, it's still raw for a lot of the support so please cut some slack.

Nah, for me the doubters have had plenty of fun and games.

Time to get behind Leeann who has a great record so far with managers.

There are no fun or games going on. I'm hurting, as I feel we have just made a horrendous mistake in the future prosperity of the club.
I hope I'm way off the mark and totally wrong. It'll take time for me to get behind Heckingbottom. See ffs I can't even do that without a double entendre.

Why won’t you be behind him from the start?

So you're choosing not to support the new guy?

Weird.

Well you need to settle for a second and look at what has actually gone on.

Lennon was great, but was on a catastrophic run.

We don't know the ins and outs of what's happened, but what we do know is the people at the top at Hibs are smart. To me that suggests that a deal has been cut that is good for the club and let's Lennon leave without any dirty laundry being aired.

Heck has been in charge at some big teams and has good records of bringing through youngsters. Stockdale also seems to me to be a good guy.

I will support the new guy but I would have preferred to supported the old guy.

I agree with you, I hope my doom and gloom feelings don't turn out to be true.

It didn't cost the club.

"Top tips" to you, hen: sober up before posting.

To be fair, we don't know if the OP is a "hen" or a "cock". Those seem to be the only two choices.

Can you think of any other stories where the Sun got it wrong, or just made it up because they hadn't a clue or were pandering to a wider audience?

Just putting it out there, nothing personal.

There you have said it again!

You seem very sure, no absolutely nailed on, that this had zero cost to us, I hope you are correct, but have a gut feeling that this has cost us money. It may or may not come out in the wash in future we will see.

Lennon on BT sport in the morning with Savage and Sutton. Expect him to confirm that Hibbyradge has the detail on the split and the journalists are all making stuff up.

I have no inside knowledge but I am certain too that Lennon walked away with no payout. He would not walk away quietly as the injured party in all of this and risk his reputation.
