Grant Stott Interview With Leeanne

[ALF TUPPER]

Stotty tweeting he has interviewed LD. He's putting the full interview up on a website soon. Not sure where.
No doubt some clever Netter will be able to put links up.

Apologies if already posted.

Should be an interesting read

[roryg]

Can't wait to see it...

[ALF TUPPER]

Yeah. Looking forward to seeing what Leeanne has to say.

[Ozyhibby]

Petrie is just proof reading it now. Will be up once he approves.

[Mr Pants]

No need to read it. Watch it for yourselves.

[ALF TUPPER]

Nice one Mr P.

Fishal site ?

[Peevemor]

No need to read it. Watch it for yourselves.

LTYF!


:woohoo:

[SaulGoodman]

No need to read it. Watch it for yourselves.

Why did ah no get a ding this morning? ltyf

[ekhibee]

When was it on and what channel?

[FranckSuzy]

When was it on and what channel?

Not up on Twitter as yet :aok: Think it's a video that Stotty will post on there.

[Golden Bear]

I've a feeling that the Hibs support will be very patient with Leeann and we'll worship every word she utters.

However if the new Chief Executive was named Lenny rather than Leeann then -------

Petrie. Lindsay. Hyland.

An amazing amount of people on first name terms with Leanne Dempster :greengrin:

[Gettin' Auld]

If they're on first name terms with Leeann, i assume they'd be able to spell her first name properly. :greengrin

[CallumLaidlaw]

I like how stotty says "MY questions, HER answers". Haha

[Broken Gnome]

I'm firmly surname hence complete ignorance of her first name.

[clerriehibs]

Bet he doesn't ask - Leean, if you think the team mgr is not up to the job, have you the authority to call it out and sack him?

[Peevemor]

Bet he doesn't ask - Leean, if you think the team mgr is not up to the job, have you the authority to call it out and sack him?

She would need the nod from the board to do that (whether RP is there or not). This would apply to any football club CEO.

Hibs Pravda

[madhatter]

Her comments on the brief snippet, regarding ST pricing and consulting fans...this is unheard of.
She is, as long as she continues in this vein, appearing to be a class act.

Can't wait to hear the interview tomorrow personally.

[Jonnyboy]

I particularly liked this bit ..........

Leeann also rebuffed claims she would not enjoy the same authority at Hibernian that she enjoyed during her successful spell at Motherwell.

She said: "I can be clear on that. I ran a football club - and a successful football club - where I was involved in every aspect of the decision making.

"I would not walk into another post where my hands were tied. I think I have enough reputation and integrity that people would know I would not do that."

Aye right. Read my posts and show me where I've backed RP. I've chosen to take at face value the statements that say LD is now running things. There's a difference.

[Www1875hfc]

Probably just another propaganda stunt to split the fans before Saturday's protest. :wink:
Will Mr Stott be in attendance along with Pat Stanton on Saturday?

It goes both ways though, there are plenty folk only posting stuff against Petrie. Peevemor is entitled to his say.

Spot on that wee runt Petrie has sweet talked us for god knows how many years. :top marks



PETRIE OUT

[Peevemor]

:aok:

Apologies if I got the wrong end of the stick.....

No problem. :aok:

Just to clarify my position. Although I've 'defended' the club's statements re. RP. handing over the reins (ie. not call the club or RP liars at every opportunity) , the strength of feeling against RP is so strong that he has to go for the good of his "Hibernian family."

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and that's mine.

However, if people keep filling the MB with unfounded and often ignorant attacks on the club dressed up as 'fact', then sometimes I can't help myself. I react - it's my club too!

There's no doubt that this is what we want to hear and I sincerely hope that this is the case. But trust has been lost and it will take actions rather than words to regain this.

I hope that there will be a sufficiently large turnout for Saturday's protest to galvanise her into acting independently and making the big decisions that might begin to repair the very deep damage caused by Petrie and Butcher.

I just hope she has some handy baking tips for the big bake off at the end of the season, a few recipes would be a start.

Maybe sign a good seasoned cook book in the January window.

[ekhibee]

So is the interview on youtube yet? Couldn't find it if it is. Official site says that we do have two new major sponsors though.

[Billychaotic182]

Been out all morning. Any word when we can see this interview? Or has Rod still got more editing to do on it lol

[The_Horde]

Probably making a statement about the managerial team first (staying or going?) before airing it?

Since stotty was allowed to ask whatever he wants.

[ALF TUPPER]

C'mon Hibs. Where is this then?

His "toxicity" is only a problem if he has executive control. He does have a lot of experience (often of making mistakes) and he does have a viewpoint that can be considered and taken on board/discarded by the actual chief executive. The idea that his mere presence in itself is "toxic" is pure superstition.

[GordonHFC]

Thought this was going to be on Hibs You Tube ?

[sauzeelegod]

she tweeted 30 mins ago saying it was getting uploaded to HibernianTV and Youtube

It'll be the slowest cheapest internet going that's slowing the upload

[Billychaotic182]

Grant just tweeted saying hibs need faster internet and due to the size and length it might take a while

[Billychaotic182]

Also just tweeted saying it will probably be in two parts

[TheFamous1875]

Hibs are just shan at everything, eh?

Meeting with Butcher next week to discuss where we go in the future.

Just watched a very truthful interview from Leeann and lookin forward to meeting her tomorrow. She is very honest and knows where our club has gone wrong and knows where we and herself wants the club to be.

Well done mr pants

May i suggest Alloa , Falkirk , need i go on !

[Gus Fring]

She makes it pretty clear Petrie is not running things anymore. That she's the boss and won't be a puppet.

[Just_Jimmy]

Can't watch it just now but another week, really?

She justifies why in the interview.

[Heisenberg]

It is dragging on a bit. To me it didn't seem like she was totally sure he'd still be our manager after next week.

[bingo70]

She justifies why in the interview.

Any chance of a summary?

I'm at work and can't watch the interview

[Bishop Hibee]

She makes it pretty clear Petrie is not running things anymore. That she's the boss and won't be a puppet.

Petrie still owns 10% of the holding company that owns Hibs. I don"t believe he will be able to resist sticking his oar in at some point.

[Lmc2105]

Cracking first part of the interview looking forward to meeting her tomorrow, she has a clear direction and will when she meets the manager next week she is going to let him know exactly what that is. IMO I think he could be away

[smurf]

Butcher sounds a goner...

[Hibby70]

She's certainly not saying Butcher will still have a job, that's for sure. I reckon he's for the hook pretty soon.

[Peevemor]

I was well impressed by her in that interview. She's a very sharp (and confident) cookie. :agree:

[Speedway]

'My intention is to make us more of a football club than a corporate entity'

Wee dig at Rod?

[Gus Fring]

Petrie still owns 10% of the holding company that owns Hibs. I don"t believe he will be able to resist sticking his oar in at some point.

He can stick his oar in if he wants and Leeann has the power to tell him to f*** off. He's not in charge and she has complete autonomy. That's all I needed to hear to give her my full backing and forget about Petrie.

[HH81]

Good first part. :agree:

[Just_Jimmy]

Any chance of a summary?

I'm at work and can't watch the interview

When they met she was still employed by Motherwell so couldn't make a decision.

Then Butcher was on holiday and she's just in the door.

Didn't sound like she'd blink twice in cutting him loose however. I took it like it's going to happen to. Good.

[cam2644]

Leeanne has given a good interview. She really deserves a chance and the fans should support her.

[Peevemor]

'My intention is to make us more of a football club than a corporate entity'

Maybe not a dig, but certainly looking to address a real problem.

Got the same impression, I like what I've heard from her so far, she's no gonnae take any sh** from no one. :agree:

saying that I'll still be there the morra...Petrie Out

[greenpaper55]

Maybe sir Tom appointed her ?.

[Gerard]

A very good interview from Leeann.

[RoslinInstHibby]

got the same impression as others with regards to TB, think she comes across really well and someone who wont be afraid to speak her mind! also glad she will be looking into east mains.:agree:

Rodders appointed her.

[Sean1875]

very encouraging first part to the interview, looking forward to the next part!

[Peevemor]

Even though she couldn't reveal exactly what's going to be happening, I was very impressed how for the entire 20 minute (?) inteview, she spoke very naturally and sincerely without making the slightest slip.

I look forward to hearing more from her.

Interesting too that, prior to accepting the job, she insisted on meeting STF to make sure that she is going to have, within reason, a free rein.

:top marks Leeann. Onward and upward!

[Callum_62]

"The management team left......to go on holiday" :greengrin

Sounds like we will be after a new manager come next week

[truehibernian]

very encouraging first part to the interview, looking forward to the next part!

Most encouraging part was the fact she wouldn't commit to whether Butcher was still in a job - hopefully a deal is being negotiated that's 'mutually beneficial' to both parties.

[AlbertK86]

Only seen part 1 so far but very impressed

Non committal about TB but think she will listen to fans groups tmw and then discuss whether he is capable of delivering what she and fans want

She hints that she needs the fans on board so will need him to convince her he can do it

[nellio]

She's fantastic, she really comes across well. Looking forward to the second part of this.

[Heisenberg]

Most encouraging part was the fact she wouldn't commit to whether Butcher was still in a job - hopefully a deal is being negotiated that's 'mutually beneficial' to both parties.

I didn't think he'd be away but it looks like it could be a distinct possibility after watching the first part of the interview. Very impressed with LD so far, speaks very well.

[Spike Mandela]

People are reading in to it what they want to hear. It doesn't sound to me that he is or isn't likely to be a goner. She is meeting Terry Butcher to discuss the way forward and if they share the same vision I think it is likely that Terry will continue as manager.

[Peevemor]

"The management team left......to go on holiday" :greengrin

Sounds like we will be after a new manager come next week

I noticed the pregnant pause too. :hmmm:

It certainly sounded like their meeting on the Monday was 'heated'. :agree:

Spot on!

[KeithTheHibby]

I may be wrong but did LD not say that Butcher was back his holidays now however after relegation and the subsequent Monday meeting he was continuing his holidays?
Does that mean he was away inbetween the final league match and first play off game with Hamilton? He was very quiet between those games..

[TheReg!]

People are reading in to it what they want to hear. It doesn't sound to me that he is or isn't likely to be a goner. She is meeting Terry Butcher to discuss the way forward and if they share the same vision I think it is likely that Terry will continue as manager.


^^^^^^^^This^^^^^^

I honestly can't decide if TB should stay or go??? If he makes a good case and LD buys it then I'll be happy with that, hopefully there has been a lot of work been done in the last week to secure our top targets.

Good interview, clear, precise and honest! Onwards and upwards!!!!!!!

[Callum_62]

If he is to be gone - i believe we must already have something lined up

waiting 2 weeks+ to sack a manager, when the new season is so close would be folly

How can work be done on signings unless we know who the manager will be?

[Hibs07p]

Very impressive interview by Leeann and i don't doubt for a minute that she has total autonomy, BUT, she will still have to run any of her iniatives by the board, if they require additional funding, and that's what concerns me slightly. I believe she's nobodies puppet, will attempt to provide the wind of change that's badly needed, and will be accepted wholeheartedly by our support. The problem as I see it is, she can have great ideas on how to progress the football club, but if that means spending money outwith the budget, the board can, and might veto, such spending. Are the board prepared to back our new CEO wholeheartedly, and allow her the budget to succeed?

GGTTH

[The_Horde]

IMO this goes two ways now.

1. She speaks with the manager, has time to think it over and let's him go. This lifting the wall of fan anger.

2. She takes time, meets with manager and decides to keep him. Thus emphasising that it's absolutely her decision to keep him and she believes he will do all he can to get us back to the top. Taking some pressure off Terry and shifting it onto her own shoulders.

This is going to be interesting. Certainly not the kind of pressured decision she would've been hoping to make so soon into her life at hibs.

But surely that's fair enough?

Hibs spend plenty money, the problem is how it's been spent in the past.

[Hibeesmad]

Very good interview. Sounds as if it's the best move Petrie has made at the club. Also seems as if Butcher be gone next week, although that would most probably be a financial blow and would ruin preparations for the new season if the new man is not in quickly

[ionahibby]

Wow I've been swayed. After listening to that even i think Petrie should go.

[Calum68]

I've got the ball now 👍

[EdinMike]

I'm in love...:greengrin

[Hibs07p]

But surely that's fair enough?

Hibs spend plenty money, the problem is how it's been spent in the past.


I don't disagree, but plenty of money has been wasted on appointing / getting rid off the wrong managers / players that have not cut the mustard, and that can be placed at RP's door. Budgets have probably been cut in real terms year on year, to pay for the previous years mistakes. I think the point I'm trying to make is that the board need to absorb the cost of previous mistakes, and allow LD to have access to a full budget next season, without any penalties for previous mistakes.

GGTTH

[jacomo]

But surely that's fair enough?

Hibs spend plenty money, the problem is how it's been spent in the past.

But it seems we are cutting back, with players being released and withdrawal from EOS etc.

I think so too. If they were going to get rid of Butcher I think they would have done it the same time as the players

[Gus Fring]

I think so too. If they were going to get rid of Butcher I think they would have done it the same time as the players

Maybe Petrie wanted to keep him?
Maybe Petrie wanted to leave the decision up to Leeann?
Maybe Leeann wanted to sack him that day but wasn't able to because she wasn't technically in charge?
Maybe it all hinges on the meeting he's going to have. If he impresses he keeps his job, if he doesn't then he's told to leave?

[Ozyhibby]

She is very clear that the budget is cut for next season.
What we need to know is it higher than Hearts?

Maybe he's under contract and would cost too much to remove.

That's never appeared to stop us sacking a manager before.

[The_Exile]

What is Hearts budget?

[Mr Grieves]

I like her, breath of fresh air compared to Rod. However, the Butcher situation does concern me. If we get rid, we've got a mammoth task in getting in a new manager and a whole new team in before preseason. And did she say it was butchers choice to free the out of contract players? I'm confused!

[Steven_Hibs]

I think so too. If they were going to get rid of Butcher I think they would have done it the same time as the players

Not necessarily. She's only just in the job and her plans will be revealed to the board and management next week, when Butcher and Malpas are away. That's my take on it. Like I said on another thread, I've heard that he's definitely a goner

[Greenworld]

The past is just that I would guess our budget will be higher than Motherwell
They have done very well under her control.
I like her straight answers real change coming I feel at last.

Most likely that some thoughts have been put to TB for him to mull over its a changed
game it sounds and TB might not want to be part of it or not allowed to be part of it.

LD needs to be sure that she thinks he is the right man to get us out of that league if
Not I agree he is a gonner

[greenpaper55]

Hope it works

[greenpaper55]

It never , tried to download the interview from the bounce but failed !.

[Hibs07p]

The past is just that I would guess our budget will be higher than Motherwell
They have done very well under her control.
I like her straight answers real change coming I feel at last.

The point I'm making is that she should start her tenure with the biggest budget possible without penalty for previous mistakes made, before she started. I don't doubt we will have a bigger budget than Motherwell, but how will it compare with The Hun and The Yam. They are our main competitors this season, be better than them, and we're half way there.
I believe she should be given every chance to succeed, and the board must back her plans for success.

GGTTH

[ALF TUPPER]

'My intention is to make us more of a football club than a corporate entity'

Wee dig at Rod?

Really liked that line . Yep

[Darth Hibbie]

My reading of it is that she is going to meet with TB and tell him how she expects things to be run and either he is on board with that or he is gone. Certainly no commitment either way at this time.

good first interview though.

[Greenworld]

The point I'm making is that she should start her tenure with the biggest budget possible without penalty for previous mistakes made, before she started. I don't doubt we will have a bigger budget than Motherwell, but how will it compare with The Hun and The Yam. They are our main competitors this season, be better than them, and we're half way there.
I believe she should be given every chance to succeed, and the board must back her plans for success.

GGTTH
I understand and agree just pointing out that a budget used properly does not have to be the biggest.
However I suspect the cuts elsewhere in the club will maximise what can be diverted to the
Football budget

[greenpaper55]

Liked what i heard and to be honest it sounded like she has complete control over all footballing matters, what a difference from Rod who would answer you question with another !. This interview just shows Rod up for the erse he is, all the fans need is the truth whether it be good or bad and this interview is like a breath of fresh air to what we have been used to.

[sauzeelegod]

part 2 up now

[Saorsa]

Have tae say I like what she has tae say, listened tae both parts, makes a real change from the usual flannel, bull**** and complete ignorance. Think she could dae a job here, pity there's one issue remaining that is still so divisive and stopping everybody moving forward together.

[bighairyfaeleith]

Good interview and I believe she is in charge. Now a wee payment plan for the season books and myself a couple of others will be putting our names down.

More convinced than ever now that this protest isn't needed.

And she speaks as if she means what she says, is willing to speak to supporters and take on board our views instead of that w******* speaking down to us and being constantly superior and dismissive

I'm convinced now that Petrie has little say in what goes on beyond being a vote on the board. I don't think he'll resign/leave even if 10,000 Hibs fans turn up tomorrow.

In reality it's going to be a few hundred probably. They'll stand about whilst the meeting goes on inside. The meeting will go very well and all the fans groups will be impressed with Leeann and her plans and then everyone will go back home. Petrie probably won't even be mentioned.

A few folk will then cling to their morals and their cash saying they won't be back until Petrie is gone. He'll stay and they'll all miss out on watching us get back into the Premiership first time. Leeann meanwhile will keep running the club well and making mostly good choices, engaging supporters and letting them help shape decisions.

[ManBearPig]

I think it would be very narrow minded to withdraw support from club at this point. she made it very clear financially we are worse off than last season. need cash and all supporters to unite. she has tools and contacts to move forward and sounds like she will reveal more regarding plans at fans meeting.

[Caversham Green]

some thoughts around the issues arising from the interviews:

Butcher: I have a feeling that Terry himself isn't sure that he wants to stay on. I've no doubt that he was as shattered as we were by relegation and I think he may have agreed with the club to consider his future over the last week and a bit. If he goes (and I have a feeling he will) it will be a genuine mutual consent.

Promotion: I get the distinct feeling that Leeann is not really expecting promotion next season, but if it comes good and well. I think Hearts are in the same boat but their budgets will be tighter and next season is a digging in one for both clubs. One will probably get promoted, but it's a toss-up which one it'll be.

Petrie: I think the intention is that he will pass on to STF what is discussed at board meetings and pass back to the board any message that STF has for them. Clearly STF trusts him and wants him on the board for that purpose and in general he would be unlikely to have much involvement in the routine operations of the club. If that's not the case then the club must be paying Leeann more than she's worth.

Petrieout: If the above is correct there would be no reason for Petrie to leave the board in normal circumstances, but these are not normal circumstances. There is a large divide between (probably) most of the support and Petrie that is potentially very damaging to the club and I don't think it's repairable. However, we need to be careful not to throw the baby and the tub out while keeping the bathwater. While I think he should leave as a matter of principle, I also think there's a danger of the supporters making it the only issue surrounding the club - and that is what will kill it. Rod has already dug his heels in at the first meeting and he's likely to become even more stubborn if the campaign gets its approach wrong. We're at a new beginning and the signs are encouraging apart from this one cloud, which should actually be fairly minor. Keep up the pressure but keep it subtle would be my advice.

Finally there's little point in digging up the past. We have differing views of how we got here, but we are where we are and we need to focus on getting to where we should be rather than arguing about things we can't change.

Excellent Interview credit where credit is due. As I said before she can do the job with her eyes shut and I know she is being polite but why dow we need Petrie there. Meeting with Butcher so many rumours going around it may be someone else.

This will be Dempsters way foward and I'm excited to see all the changes she is on about

I think she has been very clever having interview the day before the demo. From most comments it seems to have taken a bit of the sting out of the protest.
I expect the meeting tomorrow will be the reps coming out and reporting constructive talks and leeann asking for time and continued support to allow her to put her plans in place.

We need to support this girl because i feel this is the last chance salon and she talks a lot of sense, if we don't take heed and particularly the board don't take heed then i despair to think where we will be in years to come.

[SMAXXA]

Is it wrong that I'm actually a wee bit in love with her already....
never felt like that at all with Petrie...change is afoot.

[jacomo]

Having watched the interview now, I like her. She's got a good understanding of the key issues at stake, she's not making excuses, and she never ducked a question. Petrie Out? 'Too simplistic', according to Leeann. Clever.

I wish her all the luck she needs to get this club back into shape.

[AinsterHibs]

Cracking first part of the interview looking forward to meeting her tomorrow, she has a clear direction and will when she meets the manager next week she is going to let him know exactly what that is. IMO I think he could be away

Agreed totally.

[NOLA]

very good interview from Leeann, she is a breath of fresh air, accessible and open, my interpretation is Butcher will be staying as manager but what do i know :greengrin

[NAE NOOKIE]

Ms Dempster speaks very well and certainly didn't dodge any questions.

I must say she didn't give much away regarding TB ..... hard to say what will happen IMO

When it comes to season tickets theres no doubt the club are going to want fans to pay Premier league prices. I'm OK with that TBH .... in the hope that for my £400 odd quid it wont work out at over £100 per home win next season.

But for me I just cant get past Rod Petrie ............. I would be a lot more confident in the new CEOs ability to carry out what she wants to do without him hovering in the background. As far as I'm concerned there is no need for him to be at the club apart from in the stand on match days as a spectator and at the AGM as 2nd biggest shareholder, and that's it. Conduit between her / the board and STF .... nonsense.

From the whole tone of that interview LDs idea is to change the whole ethos, outlook and attitude of the club. It seems bizarre that the man who presided over the whole shambles she has been brought in to sort will not only be in charge of the purse strings, but will in effect ( lets not kid ourselves ) be her boss.

No ..... If Petrie had any integrity and feeling for what is best for the future and unity of this football club he would leave .... it seems to me that he is quite happy to overlook whats best for the club to look after his own self interest.

For that reason I'll be there on Saturday.

[RIP]

Think you are wrong with the part in bold......

No

On this occasion I think he's right actually. There is absolutely no point in talking about Petrie to Leeann.

Leave it to Paul and the #PetrieOut team to take care of business

[Boyle89]

After watching both parts I can't help but feel anger towards RP!! She's shown him up big time! She actually answered questions rather than giving it a smug faced retort which didn't actually answer the question. In what must've taken an hour or so out her day she has given me more faith than RP ever has. I think she can actually make a difference at hibs and for the better!
Now I hope her next announcement is TB has left.

[Weststandwanab]

I wish she was called Kylie.

Dare we ask why ?


To me it ain't anything to do with a wage

Just smacks of ego and need for power

Spot on imo


I think you would have to be seventy or over to have seen us win the main league and almost a hundred and twenty to have seen us win the Scottish Cup, perhaps you are being a bit unkind to us over fifties :greengrin

Very unkind to us.

This girl ! Please use her name and show some respect.

I agree.

[Tyler Durden]

Really positive interview and she makes a great first impression.

Several times either directly or by implication she refers to the failures in how the club has been run recently. How much things need to change and how some of the change she believes will be easy quick fixes.

Is it not somewhat bizarre then that the man responsible for running the club down into this position, is seen fit to remain on the board. Whilst I take her point that it's too simplistic to suggest everything will be fixed with removal of Petrie, surely he can see the huge benefits of moving on with what little dignity remains? If not then its clear he stays only out of self interest and we will simply force him out.

[lucky]

Talk is cheap, she ran a successful club at motherwell but can she step up at Hibs and will she be allowed too. Don't forget TB talks a good game. But failed to make the step up. That being said she does seem keen on supporter engagement. For me I want RP as it will lift the gloom over the place. Also not keen on allow the overpriced ST being give to TB to spend. If RP and TB are away then I'm happy to to give LD and a new manager additional money but if RP and TB are there then I want around £100 back of my £380

Key word re Petrie and Integrity is IF

He has none on the evidence to date

Go on KING ROD prove us all wrong and do the decent thing ..... Walk, stand down, step away to let Leeann show her worth, put whatever spin you want on it but just GTF

[Big90inOz]

Thought Leeanne came across very well and gave many right answers, having said that its easy to talk but you get the feeling she can walk the walk. If RP does try to get involved I doubt she will hang around.
Glaringly obvious was her non committal to Terry continuing. It obvious she thinks there are major problems both on and off the field at our club, think there may be a bit of a shake up coming.

[blackpoolhibs]

Have tae say I like what she has tae say, listened tae both parts, makes a real change from the usual flannel, bull**** and complete ignorance. Think she could dae a job here, pity there's one issue remaining that is still so divisive and stopping everybody moving forward together.

:agree: And it sums Petrie up in one, he has sent a woman in to do his dirty work.

The mans a coward.
