Dempster

[Jim44]

Assuming she will be at ER very soon, I wonder what her thoughts are on Petrie's decision to back Butcher. I wonder if she was consulted on the matter.

[h185forever]

Does anyone know if she was there yesterday and saw the enormity of the task she is facing ?

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

She'll be a puppet for Petrie to take all the flak at the next AGM whilst he stands at the back grinning like a simpleton.

[h185forever]

....I hope you're wrong, I really do ........but I guess on recent history ..you're probably right

[WhileTheChief..]

I thought it was a great move to bring her in but if she's just gonna be a mouthpiece for Petrie she can do one.

Her first task should have been to empty Butcher but Petrie has already stopped that from happening. A total joke.

I'm fairly sure that she'll have had input to the decision.

Pish. Dempster won't be anyone's puppet. You can be sure of that.

Maybe a wee bit unfair on Leeann, as she is not employed by us untill 01/06,
but she can be contacted directly through twitter and linkedin, about the enormity of the task in in hand.

If she had "input" to the decision to keep Butcher & Malpas, and agreed with it, that's her first big mistake. The decision may have been based on monetary considerations first and foremost, rather than footballing ones. So no change there then.

How do you know she won't be anyone's puppet? What do you base that statement on?

Facts. What are the statements that she'll be a puppet based on?

Hoe do you know any of what you have written is true?
She's not even in the door yet, surely we are going to give her a chance? This club needs strong leaders, that means sometimes they have to make unpopular decisions and see them through.

Sorry what facts are these? Can you expand a bit please?

I never said she would be a puppet. In fact I very much hope that she's not or nothing is going to change is it? I made the point that if she agreed with keeping Butcher & Malpas for financial, rather than footballing reasons, there was no change there IMHO.

How do you know? Have you had dealings with her that lead you to make your statement.

[Greenblood70]

I think last nights statement compromised her a bit tbh. I can't believe she was consulted about that statement ( in all honesty it's hard to imagine any right thinking person ok'd that disaster).

I don't think that statement compromises her in any way. It's Petrie that is left exposed after accepting responsibility but refusing to leave the club.

that statement will have been lying in petries jacket pocket for the last few days, the statement for staying up in one side and the relegation statement in the other, it would have been quite funny if he had got his pockets mixed up

I do, if she wisnae consulted she cannae come in and sack him now even if she disnae want him there because Petrie said he's staying. I'd say that already puts her in a bit of a position, wouldn't you? If she was consulted and agreed with the decision tae keep Butcher and that pile of patronising bull**** being released then it'll be mair of the same tae look forward tae at ER Which IMO it will be as long as that prick is there. Anyway they winnae get a brass razoo from me while that **** is still there

I disagree, it makes it appear that all the major shots ares still being called by Petrie. He is a control freak, there is no way he's not going to meddle and that statement last night proved it IMHO.

I hope I'm wrong as the news of her appointment was one of the few bits of good news in the last few months. I like the cut of her jib, she seems willing to get her hands dirty and get involved in the day to day affairs of the club and engage with the support. The kind of changes required are significant tho, and the fact Petrie will be looming in the background suggests to me he will still be the key decision maker.

I've tried to justify my opinion there but not sure if it comes across, it's the sheer frustration of yesterday and today!

But what exactly is Petrie "exposed" to if he simply refuses to leave the club? It seems to me he is bomb proof.

I really wish Leanne Dempster all the luck in the world. She is going to need it.

Nobody is bomb proof. His very presence is toxic. Just read this thread to see how him being there leads to unwarranted criticism of our new Chief Executive before she is even in place. He quite simply has to go.

[southsider]

I said on another thread that direct action will be the only way to FORCE these clowns from OUR club. I am still in favour of a demo next saturday..... then the Saturday after that until we build up enough momentum to get rid of the whole sorry bunch. This has worked with other clubs so why not ours ?

[greenginger]

I've heard Dempster is a very strong personality and will take sh*t from no one.

I've also heard Petrie will be more than happy to take a back seat, do the SFA business and deal with the rest of STF's many business interests.

Petrie should still resign as Club chairman.

[bingo70]

Petrie said in the statement he is needed to do the transition but what if he was hit by a bus tomorrow? (Any bus drivers out there, I'm not suggesting that you do so). Why is our club so reliant on one individual?

Imo he'd make dempsters job a lot easier if he was to just leave completely

I'm not sure if you've misinterpreted my post. I have read this thread carefully. I agree with what you say about Petrie's presence being toxic and that he should go right now.

Any unwarranted criticism of Leanne Dempster before she has even got her foot in the door is crazy. That's not where I'm coming from I can assure you. I have great hope that she can improve things at ER. I do however believe that if she has agreed to Butcher retaining his position as manager this is a mistake. I'm not sure if that's unwarranted criticism. It's just my honest opinion.

[WhileTheChief..]

If she somes in and says "sorry, our chairman got it wrong, Butcher's out" then fair play to her. Will show that she has a set.

Keep Butcher on and her judgement is as bad as Petrie's.

This.

Rod will bugger off to Hampden and get his SFA Blazer whilst doing boring SFA committee work for the club.

Leann Dempster needs a complete free hand to revamp the club from top to bottom and if she chooses to hand Terry his jotters then so be it.

She needs to know what is good at out club which is a short list consisting of the facilities, the loyal behind the scenes staff at ER such as Sue McLernon, along with the U20s team and coach and some of the youth set up.
Plus a large loyal fan base whose patience has now worn thin.

Everything else is rotten and can be cleared out starting with the current Board and most of the First team along with Rod's budgetary controls.

I am with you mate, direct action is required, as long as Petrie is involved in the club there will be no change, he is only interested in himself, it is unbelievable both Petrie and Butcher remain in their positions today, we need to force them out and as for anyone who thinks Butcher should get a chance, you need your head tested, he has got us relegated and should go
