I was speaking to an ex Hearts assistant manager on Saturday, who was a paying supporter with his young grandson at the last Tynecastle derby. He was sitting in the main stand behind Neil Lennon when he got hit with the coin. He said the sectarian abuse NL was subjected to that night was horrendous.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Almost.
Never liked him. Like him even less now, if that's possible.
Also didn't get the calls to get him by "almost everyone".

Some of the abuse she's taken has been unwarranted and is purely speculation. But some other stuff (the since1875 stuff most recently) is warranted and she doesn't do everything right as some would have you believe.
I think she deserves praise for lots of stuff but she isn't as immune from criticism as some on here would have you believe either.
The club do make mistakes, it can't be rosy all of the time.

Dempster failed to back Stubbs and then Lennon over the sectarian abuse they sufferred and then for reasons still unknown dropped the getting Sevco off the hook statement bombshell out of absolutely nowhere.
Then there was a complete failure to communicate over the loyalty points and HSL and the procedure for selling of cup final tickets resulted in 6 hours queues and this season online ticketing has been shocking.
Heavy handed at best seems to the fairest way to describe falling out with "Since 1875" and leadership skills and communication skills were very much lacking during the Lennon fiasco which left Hibs open to ridicule eventually issuing a statement that " the manager had done absolutely nothing wrong" which contradicted everything that had happened.
This doesn't mean she is a poor Chief Executive but its decidely a mixed bag.Last edited by The Baldmans Comb; 18-03-2019 at 07:08 PM.

Leeann has and is doing a great job at the club. That is all there is to it IMO.

It wasn’t by any means a given that we would get out of there in years 1 or 2
On that basis why don’t you hold her responsible for the bubonic plague also?
Do you really think there was any realistic prospect of our avoiding the ranting obsessed media backlash anyway?
We could have sacked Lennon for drowning kittens in the bath (he didn’t afaik by the way) and still got a similar kicking in the press.
It’s not often someone’s agenda is as clear this early in their posting career, but yours certainly is

FTR, I agree with you that not spelling her name properly shows a lack of respect.

What did Lennon himself want the club to do? Anybody know? Saying she didn’t back him suggests she ignored his wishes.Every gimmick hungry yob,

Leeann is doing a very good job as CEO and leader of a very complex organisation. She will make mistakes and will take decisions that are not universally popular but she will be making those decisions for what she believes is the best for the club.
Criticism is fine and I'm sure she would expect it but some of the personal abuse is beyond pathetic from people who have a real agenda (not aimed at folk on here but sometimes some do get a bit close). Her gender, sexuality or the team she used to support don't come into it for me and neither should it for others. She cut the Hun allocation and a lot of folk moaned about loss of revenue, she gives them the whole stand and she is pandering to them. Sometimes she just can't win. Remember the Scott Allan saga with the Huns. She played a blinder and we got a deal that ended with Dylan and Hendo and a Scottish cup win. She certainly wasn't pandering to them then.

Kinda makes you wonder what folks would get up to without tinternet... its ripe for contrarians just being obtuse but often obscures the genuine folks."We know the people who have invested so far are simple fans." Vladimir Romanov - Scotsman 10th December 2012

I’ve challenged a few on this on Twitter as well but they’re completely incapable of a reasoned response.
It seems to be the Ponzi Scheme mob from a couple of years ago who seem to be bitter about the fact she made them look like complete ********s.
