    Where is Leeann?

    She used to be very prominant and proactive . Now you don't hear from her. Why is That ? . She is the current CEO of Hibs unless I am mistaken .Miss her drive and enthuisam. I guess the upcoming AGM will be pivitol to her role going forward.

    She’s probably been a bit preoccupied with a new owner coming in.

    This and she doesn't really want to be seen as soaking up the limelight when the focus is on the team, I think she mentioned in her last HTV interview that it was a conscious decision to leave her media appearances for particular events.

    I do however agree that it'd be good to hear from her more regularly, I think she's a talented speaker and always conveys positivity and reason. I'm sure the AGM will be a rather significant one with the new ownership so it could well be a case of Leeann having to stay quiet until the actual strategy is announced, then she has something to talk about.

    Getting things in place to implement the plan that will be unveiled at the AGM.

    Was also very bust during the transfer window handling the loans and transfers.

    Being a bit busy. IMO the club behind the scenes has had the biggest trauma/change put on it in my lifetime and this is going to keep a CEO rather busy.

    She goes in at 7am every morning and starts the working day with a joint followed by a couple of bacon baps, sleeps until 2pm then goes home. Is that what you wanted to hear?

    Most likely, I’m just speculating that a guy who has come in from out of the blue and has dropped hints about plans all through his tenure so far will have ideas that will keep a CEO busy.

    God I'd hate that, having to start at 7am. Especially with her living in Glasgow!

    I thought he was taking months to decide what the grand plans are and evaluating all areas of the club? Hopefully the ceo is working with the other departments at this time in making sure we have a sponsor next season instead of failing to do so then saying there would be loads of community based initiatives coming up in the coming months (June) and changes around the ground to promote our in house sponsor that just hasn’t happened and absolutely nobody has been held accountable for.

    Mate give it a ****ing rest eh? You’ve nothing good to say about anything, so just don’t say it.

    I clearly said in my post it was my own opinion, my own speculation. Don’t highjack my post to have a pop, do it off your own back. LD has made mistakes, she’s also had triumphs. Like everyone in life.

    I’ve lots of good to say, Dempster has been a ultimate success for the club apart from the sponsor shambles and she’s been a success.

    If anyone was hijacking anyone’s post it was you, saying something then later saying it was just your way of thinking when someone else asked probably intrigued like I was waiting for the reply.

    I said “probably”. Doesn’t exactly imply that I’m in the know does it? I was speculating as to why our CEO hasn’t been at the frontline of media coverage.

    I am looking forward to the AGM very much and to hearing the outcomes of the examination of each department within the club. That said, I sincerely hope that our new owner has also taken the time to submit an analysis of his own role and expectations. The resulting report at the AGM should be most interesting

    I think it is a reasonable question to ask. I've no doubt she has been busy behind the scenes, but the last time we heard anything of note from her was after the guy had a swipe at Tavernier - when was that; over a year ago?

    There seems to have been a lot of silence since Ron came in.

    I'm ok with a couple of 3s.

    I don't want her losing focus.

    You said the club is going through the biggest trauma/change in your life. That’s more than just speculating maybe?

    I also said “in my opinion”. I know nothing more than anyone else, and by trauma i don’t mean that as a negatives. What I think is that this is biggest change at the club since farmer took over, which is why we haven’t seen much of our CEO. Is that better?

    Probably sick of abuse from Neanderthals on twitter and Facebook so only appearing when needs to. Just have to look at the ridiculous and unfunny reaction to her Olly Shaw comments to see why she doesn't bother.

    Agree with this. Probably keeps her head down to fend off the absolute dafties on Twitter and Facebook who’ve never got a good word to say about her or the club

    And unfortunately there’s a decent amount of them. And they’re usually the first to cry when she’s “gone missing”

    Why do some of our suoport have this obsession with hearing from Leeann Dempster all the time? We didn't have the same calls for Rod Petrie or Tom Farmer to be giving constant updates and I can't think of any other clubs where that happens, only ones that you could argue did (past tense) were Hearts and Rangers when they were trying to placate the masses for poor performance or had the begging bowl out.

    The team are doing OK, not brilliant but not bad. Definitely been green shoots of recovery since the season started. Players beginning to settle and perform as we'd hoped at start of the season. What looks like a good window in Jan. What would we gain from a vague statement from Leeann if there's nothing specific to share?

    The big issue is that in this age of twitter etc any social media vacuum is filled by tinfoil hat wearing radges and if Hibs dont give us stories then the bams will. It took about 5 minutes for the Petrie hating balloons to turn their guns on LD after Ron Gordon took over.

    It doesnt have to be communication specifically from LD - look at Motherwell, who do great social media. Its not all from Alan Burrows, but it keeps their fans engaged, upbeat, involved.

    Hibs need to be all over this and I hope its part of the plan we will hear about at the AGM.
