No according to matty_f. Is matty_f ITK?......certainly sounds like it.

He has his Chubb in a few grunts, obviously

Good work Leeann.

I admire Leeann's professionalism and her ability to articulate and make her point.

There was no bigger admire of Neil Lennon than I, but he is gone, and I am satisfied that this was for the good of both himself and our club.

As a supporter I do not feel I am "entitled" to know the circumstances leading up to his "leaving us".

Leeann has been and is good for our club.

I trust her to continue doing a "brilliant" job for our club.

She has an eye for a good coach/manager and I will keep my fingers crossed that she has chosen well again in Paul Heggingbottom.

That’s it...”Leeanns Lip!”

Hey, I could use "Leeann's Lip" as my new user name.

[Peevemor]

I think it's pretty clear that Neil Lennon isn't her favourite person just now.

That's 2 interviews on the trot where she says that Heck should improve things, and I get the impression that by this she means more than the recent poor results.

That was a tough watch right from the start, Brian McLaughlin seems to have pissed her off big style!

It's not evident what she found so out of order about the line of questioning. A very angry, defensive performance.

Agree angry and defensive hiding something but something tells me we will never know

Yep!

I was encouraged to hear that she thinks that we’ll be continuing to pay fees for players going forward.

Clearly she doesn’t take kindly to being called a clueless D by a ginger with popcorn teeth.

She's had a difficult few weeks and I think it is showing.

LD needs us to win a few games as much as anyone else does, I really hope we get them.

The YouTube freeze frame of Leeann would be the perfect avatar

[CMurdoch]

It must be really tempting for her to tell the reporters straight/to **** off.
However, both parties have to play the daft game.

I would call the above a 0-0 draw.

Was a waste of time for both parties.

What is evident is that she is nobody's fool.

[JimmyL]

What it proved was how bad journalists are in Scotland, asking for clarification on their own guess work and great to see a few put in places GGTTH

[Unseen work]

Never really enjoyed that tbf as I’m used to seeing her calm and extremely positive, really want her to get back to that as she seems absolutley fizzing.

To me, it looks like she wishes everyone knew the truth but obviously can’t say anything for legal reasons and that’s making it extremely difficult for her especially when she is being called x, y and z by the media who are turning out ridiclous stories.

Also the press/pundits all seem to have jumped on Lennons side.

Watching Leanne, Heck’s and Malians interviews to me it seems like our new head coach will get the boys buzzing and confident again and increase their football knowledge massively.

Mallan was very complimentary about him and without saying it, sort of alluded to the main difference between managers is his attention to details in training, analysis, match day and every single player knowing their role.

I think the players will like him based on what Iv read from others and he does come across very likeable.

The sort of coach that I think will flourish here at ER.

I really hope its the journalists and not some Hibs fans speculation and reaction that has angered her. Her relationship with us is more important than her relationship with Brian ****ing McLaughlin. I hope she's OK. Looks like she could do with a holiday her feet up and a big drink with an umbrella in it.

Like wise mate, I would like to think she understands that the majority of fans understand why the club have been quiet lately.

Some people want the club to put out statements about everything when there is nothing to say/they can say.

Who is the Brian guy that she was getting annoyed with?

Edit - just saw another post that it was that erse Brian McLaughlin.....

An arrogant, fat Jambo tube and that's just his good points. His line of questioning was laughable as he tried to be like a professional journo. Well done Leeann for getting the fat tube to shut up.

Think you have nailed it there.

However, that's why she is on the big money.

If we win tomorrow she will feel a whole lot better.

[Onion]

Best way for Hibs to stick it right up the media and establishment is for the team to start winning again and humping their beloved Celtic, Sevco and Yams. That's the only way to answer these clowns. And as we've seen from May 2016, it REALLY brasses them off

[Waxy]

Good work here from Leeann.
The last few weeks have taken her away from her normal job most likely to deal with issues in the right way for everyone involved.
Dark forces will always be at work in this game and all true hibees will be right behind Leeann and everyone employed by Hibs.
It’s us against the world.

She'd be entitled to be angry with some of the **** that so called Hibs fans have come out with the last week or so.

A rotund yam mouthpiece. Like the majority of them who're very mostly old firm or yam orientated I'm afraid to say. Lets do our talking on the park we can but hope starting tomorrow.

Mon the Cabbage!!!

[Northernhibee]

Thought it was brilliant. Asked some good questions which she answered well, with detail and courtesy and politely, and asked some pointless questions which she gave no credit to whatsoever.

Glad we have someone in charge who won't accept any **** nor let it lie.

I can't see how she can be angry at the fans. It's only natural everyone's scratching their head when we've lost a successful, experienced head coach in unknown circumstances and replaced him with a relatively unknown guy with a patchy track record.

She certainly looked rattled for whatever reason. It's now absolutely essential that the players respond and get PH off to a good start. If not, things could implode.

There were fans spreading rumours about Lennon attacking her, calling her a dyke, spitting at her, as well as physical attacks on players. If they're made up, she's well within her rights to be angry with supporters who obviously have an active imagination and axe to grind.

Have you seen some of the pish that so called supporters have said on here and Twitter etc the last couple of weeks, embarrassing and wouldn’t blame her for being pissed off.

She looks totally pee'd off with the nonsense spouted by media and fans alike over the last 3 weeks. Never seen her with such an angry, defensive demeanour.

I really really hope this chapter has strengthend her desire to succeed at hibs and not made her question her position. I think the former, as she seems like a hugely determined, single minded lady. But I fear the the latter.

We hibs fan need to pull together now and get right behind the club. She has done an unbelievable job over the last few years and really want this to continue.

GGTTH

You're 100% right !
We're ****ing lucky to have LD at our club, she's probably the best signing we've made in the last five years.
