Ms. Dempster

[BanjoWill]

Was anyone else disappointed not to see Leanne on the park last week? Mr. Petrie was there, and deserved to be so. Arguably though Leanne deserves more credit than players/management/board.

No she dorsn't and aye she should have been.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

She almost didn't get a mention - she was last up...

I know it's supposed to be a sign of respect but I find this whole Mr and Mrs stuff tiring.
In my working life I've never come across and place referring to management by their title. Each to their own but it feels like a time warp. Was something my mum referee to when she worked in The Scottish Widows in the 60s to late 70s. Is it even a thing these days?

[hibee]

She was introduced and came onto the pitch briefly, couldn't care either way, sure she could have stayed on the pitch if she wanted to.

[Carheenlea]

She looked a bit reluctant and embarrassed when she got the 'Big Up' from the announcer.
I don't really think it's her style to lap up public attention in such a manner.

It's something yams do.

I would like to see her in a Hibs top twerking with Miley Cyrus at Wango Tango 2017. She deserves to celebrate her achievements with this Hibs team.

Yes she has transformed how club run and petrie got a huge brass neck as his shambolic stewardship seen us in championship

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

It fits in with her professionalism though doesn't it. If she decided that the day belonged 100 percent to the players and fans then that is humility personified.

[TrinityHibs]

She was just on the pitch in front of the west taking selfies with somebody else with the champions stage in the background

[Hedlund12]

I was in hospitality for the St Mirren game. I didn't see Leeann on the pitch from my seat but spoke to her briefly after the game.
I asked Leeann why she wasn't on the pitch at the end - taking some credit for the part she has played since joining the club.
I told her her that there are likely to be thousands of Hibees who would love to show their appreciation - vocally or by applause. Leeann laughed it off and made a gesture of being embarrassed by the mere thought/ suggestion. She said that talking to the fans made her happy.
If you are looking in Leeann "thank you for mending our broken club and helping steer us back to where we belong" GGTTH

[edwards]

After all the flack Petrie took when we went down I feel Leeann took a back seat on this one to let him take a bit of praise for a change, I still have mixed emotions but we are back and thats all that matters

Correct. Some of the stuff on here and recent threads is boak inducing.

Get a grip.

I think you have to view where we were when the stewardship began.

We are now sat with a first class stadium, training centre and solid finances with a clear path to being debt free. We have an excellent share offer and a mechanism for fans to own more of the club.

League wise the on the park stuff has been disappointing of course. We've won league cups and the Scottish and Hampden trips have been pretty frequent.

The current set up was also planned before Dempster arrived and appointing her was part of that.

It's not really shambolic overall.

Mostly the terms of her employment will depict how much she is allowed to accept adulation from the fans.

If she is say down in 6 or 7 in line for honours at the club, she will not be allowed to take plaudits afforded to the club.

Always remember Leeann is working away in the background, and most of the men at the club will be lapping up what she has achieved and taking the plaudits for her.

This happens all to often in life when the wrong person always seems to get the plaudits, and the person who should is tucked away in the background!

So its up to us the fans to call her out and make sure she knows we thank her for all our progress!!!!

[Nakedmanoncrack]

She's an employee of the club, if she's doing a good job, which by all accounts she is - great, but I've no interest in seeing her, Petrie or any other admin staff on the pitch to be honest.

Arise Dame Leeann.

Agree with all this Andy

[poolman]

A weird thread IMO

Why would anybody wonder about LD being on the pitch or not

I'm getting old tho 🤔

That would be an unusual clause to have in a Contract of Employment, no?

Agreed, would be interesting to know if Leaane is on a fixed term contract, or a normal notice period. Whatever it is we need to protect such a valuable asset.

If she eventually decides that she wants to move on there's not much that can be done to stop her. It's possible that she has a non competition clause in her contract which would prevent her taking another job in Scotland (for example) for a set period, but I very much doubt it.

I'm no expert on employment law but if she is on a fixed term contract then it may be different. Just hoping we can keep her.

While Leeann is doing a great job in some areas, there is still a lot of room for improvement.

The failure of the loyalty scheme, the removal of BTG, the still non working speaker system, the lack of hot water in the toilets, the catering and the club shop are all happening on her watch.

While I have always said the product on the park is the most important thing, maybe its time for her to focus on the fans?
