Campbell Ogilnie stepping down Petrie in frame for his job ?

[Ronniekirk]

Was listening to Radio Clyde last night ,and in the aftermath of the Josh Meekings debacle and way this has been mishandled by the Administration ,their were calls for heads to roll by some of the folk phoning in . During the discussion I heard a journalist Mark Guedie ( ?sounded like that ) said Cambelll Ogilvie would be stepping down from his post and a few people were mentioned as being in the running to get this ,one of which was Rod .
Could it be that Leeann has now shown she can be trusted ,and Farmer would be happy for Rod to be exerting influence at the top Echelons of Power .Could be a win win for us ,as Blackpool Hibs and others would be queuing up to buy Season Tickets , and with The Rangers openly stating they want to infiltrate top positions and take over (given how they perceive it's all gone tits up since they have beenn on their enforced leave of absence ) then maybe this is the opportune time for The Moustached one to be there to redress the balance and ensure there is a moral compass ,and decisions are taken that enshrine Sporting Integrity .
Anyone any contacts or heard anything that may indicate he would be in with a shout of getting this post
Hugh Keevins also mentioned his name and think they said C O. Was due to step down in a few weeks time

Just a small point here, but i have never said i won't buy another season ticket until Petrie is out the door. It really irks me that folk just assume things like this and make things up on this subject and others.

While i believe he's the root cause for our downfall as a club, i might be back with a season ticket if it was worth the time and effort, even if he was the bloody manager.

Bit confused by your logic - Rod is there at STF request, as Chairman his role is to ensure the club board have a plan for moving forward.

LD is CEO - running the business on a daily basis - didn't see her getting abuse after the semi like Rod would have got.

Rod will move to another role in time _ when STF hands over the club to someone he can trust.

Fan ownership was badly damaged by Pia, Kane, Reilly etc., and that will effect the club going forward.

If your not buying shares because of one individual, then that is your option, but in my view (as a shareholder) a bit narrow minded.

Can't see how it will be good for scottish football having Petrie in charge.

It's time for Hibs fans to put up or shut up in my opinion. The club have done or are doing everything that we ask, they are putting the wheels in motion towards a brighter future.

Two things must happen if the brighter future is to be realised.

1) Promotion - we need to get up or else it may set us back yet another couple of years.

2) Fan backing - the club needs as much backing as possible. In whatever way you can...

The whole club was in a state of disrepair and the work that Dempster, Craig, Stubbs et al have done, to this point, has been magnificent.

To move forward in bigger and better the ways the fans need to become supporters.

There's no point sitting back and hoping for something to happen, we need to make it happen.

Buying shares will mean you can get Petrie out.

Exactly, the minute we get to 51% we can get shot of him. We can also start asking serious questions about the way the whole of Scottish football is run. We will be a club where the fans have to be taken seriously and have to be reported back to.
It will bring a level of transparency to the game never seen before and will mak the people in charge very uncomfortable.
HSL is the way forward.

It would result in more fans through the door. I know of three, until recently season ticket holders, who are refusing to return until Petrie has left. I'm sure lots of others on this forum will know of people with the same attitude.

I don't think we are talking huge numbers, but any increase in attendances is welcome.

We continue building towards a better future rather than yet more unneccessary upheaval.

Rod has made mistakes, we know that, he knows that. He's there to do a job for STF now though and LD is in charge of the footballing side.

I'd also say that whilst mistakes have been made he's not solely to blame for why we are where we are. Would people have thanked him or other board members for another Scottish Cup Final had we managed to get past Falkirk?

No they wouldn't, it's very easy to lambast Petrie et al and I know it's swings and roundabouts but there's too many people with a lot to say about all things Hibs yet when it comes to the crunch they are nowhere to be seen unless we get to Hampden.

Seems to be a few people hiding behind the "I won't buy a season ticket, shares or go to games" until rods away blanket.......

I agree. It would be better if we took that blanket away.

There's no such blanket. You'll find a lot of them were at the semi final last week.......

[GreenArmyyy!]

Anybody that says they won't return till Petrie is gone is just using excuses. I want Petrie out as much as the next person but your not trying to tell me these "supporters" wouldn't have been back if we had got to the final or were challenging for the league.

If he got knocked over by a bus tomorrow though I'm sure Hibs could still manage to function.

Yes they would because of succession planning.

Because we don't need him at all. His presence gets folks backs up. Leanne is doing a great job and the sooner Petrie leaves the better for all involved. Or are we now just forgetting about all the ***** he put us through?

No it's not, believe it or not there are people not willing to come back while he's here. Yes it may be petty but I know a couple who would return in a heart beat!

Just because some on Hibs Net don't think it doesn't mean it's not true.

Agree with your sentiments Ozy but the 51% is a messageboard myth, oft repeated but nevertheless untrue. Petrie has made sure that people loyal to him are deeply embedded in HSL. At Hibs fans hold a wide spectrum of opinions from the 'Petrie-out' brigade on the one side to the 'Rod is God' brigade on the other. Even if only 5-10% of new shareholders back Rod as Chairman we would need a two thirds shareholding in the club to be released in order to win a vote to remove him. The board will get additional supporter investment but we will only get a limited amount of supporter decision-making influence in return. There is one turkey who is planning to survive many Christmases to come.

I don't buy it.

So lets say Rod leaves for his new blazer at Hampden and then what? An upsurge in folk attending or them just finding new reasons we can play excuses bingo with ..

It's freezing.
The pies are cauld.
Its too expensive.
I can sit in the pub.
I cannae be bothered.
It's raining.

It is that individual who has made this club go backwards. Biggest failures in Scottish football? That will be us. The resources that this club have a far greater than most in Scotland. Am looking at the last 20 years as a whole.

I am so glad we have Dempster in. Finally someone that looks like she knows how to run a top football club.

Yep that's it... Everybody that says they won't be back until he's gone are lying. Every single one, no one will ever return again that's not going now.

Seriously, some people need to look at the bigger picture. I'm not saying for one min it's right to not come to a game because of one man. It's not stopped me but I know some who would come back if he left!

This is a man who's taken Hibs backwards and that is a fact! The proof is right there for all to see! He's ruined the relationship with the supporters and it's caused many to walk! Some will make other excuses yeah but some will return when he goes!

How anyone can still want this idiot at our club is beyond me it really is. Leeann Dempster is a breath of fresh air she really is. Petrie (Mr Smug) strolls around the place like he's done no wrong and you wonder why folk dislike the man.
