    Fantastic Swift Response by Leeane

    Just read about LD appointing new coaches to work at East Mains. Already looking at improvements in bringing through fresh young talent and the u/20s working closely with the First Team. Its great to see she has her eye firmly on the ball and wants to make full use of the brilliant facilites we have.

    These comments almost give me flashbacks to Butchers appointment.

    Aye, fair enough, but there's room for optimism here.

    'Hibs boss must have youth focus' - Dempster

    I thought this was an encouraging view on any potential new Manager expressed by Leeann Dempster.


    She also mentioned the need to link up the 1st and youth teams, as well as to make proper use of East Mains.

    Every club in Scotland bar Celtc are saying this as they have little or no budget for signing on fees never mind transfer fees.

    These comments will be valid until the first home defeat, then questions will be asked, then Rod will get the blame.

    Maybe just maybe, we needed to fall this low, so as to be a catalyst for positive change. LD deserves a chance to see what she can do, however, even in a short space of time, she has made some quick positive changes....

    Really?...sent the club an email only 12 hours ago or so, at least expected some sort of reply from Ms Dempster, but nothing apart from an automated reply, How was Butcher allowed to get rid of 14 players a day or so after relegation (yes they were rubbish), Ms Depster was not officially in place at this point, so i can only presume there was dialogue with Butcher and Petrie, but given that a new chief executive was starting less than a week later, i cannot imagine that she was not involved in the dialogue at all, it is senior management after all!, if there was not....very strange way to conduct business!, Then 2 weeks later Ms Dempster off loads Butcher!, yes give her a chance....but i think people on here and other sites are hailing this woman to be some sort of magician or saviour!, Pre-season training is 2/3 weeks away and we have no manager / assistant manager, a big shortage of players, and we are now a Championship club, which does not attract a great load of interested managers to come to it!....not to mention in the same league there is Rangers, Hearts, and ambitious teams like Falkirk, Dumbarton and Dunfermline, ....so she is going to change the club with all this? Just now i will give here the benefit of the doubt, but not for long!...then again i have been wrong before and will admit if i am wrong!...but i do not think so!

    Absolutely...getting a bit fed up with this in-fighting going on at the moment, quicker we announce a new manager and some players the quicker we can all focus on the real issue, getting out of this league of death.

    I prefer that she's looking at the big picture of improving the club as opposed to sitting in her office replying to the dozens of pissed off Hibs fans that will be filling inboxes with rants. 12 hours?! Christ, you'd be lucky if you got a reply to any enquiry anywhere else within 24.

    In LD I trust.

    Leeann talked about emails on Saturday, she will try to respond to as many in a timely fashion as she can but fans have to realise she is rather preoccupied with other goings ons at the club at the moment.
    She also asked us how the club can respond to emails better. Do you have a constructive idea?

    Maybe Rod could man the emails, apparently he's not doing much these days at the club?

    If you remember, at the time it was quoted that he all but stormed out afterwards.... Maybe he was simply told he couldn't sign anyone/renew contracts until after he came back from leave? As far as I know that Monday of the "long knives" was all about players at the end of their contracts?

    I'll judge LD on the changes she brings to the club and not the number of hours it takes her to reply to fans' emails about the very issues she is no doubt working hard on. Some people need to get a grip here and give the woman a chance to do her job.

    They were not all rubbish mate, some were good players that Butcher never gave a chance, also 1 of the young guys was on his way back from injury(Donaldson)i think who was highly thought of. I would like to think L.D. will speak to J,Mcd about the young guys that Butcher released

    This. She's been praised to the high heavens for taking time to make personal replies to some supporters and rightly so, but that should not become an expectation. She has far bigger priorities.
