Longbangers 61: Kieran Power

[matty_f]

We recorded a special episode tonight where we caught up with Hibs Director, Kieran Power where we talked about the highs and lows of his time with the club, including steering through the current covid crisis.

Don’t want to blow our own trumpet but we had a great time recording it and it should mean it’s well worth a listen!

Great listen. KP is very much the right person for the job. I hope he feels he can put himself up for re-election.

Only if he promises to stop saying 'ken'

Feedback taken. Ken and Barry are used a lot in my vocabulary.

Enjoyed last night - appreciated the invite. Something I’ve missed over the last 5 months is not shooting the **** with fellow Hibs fans - discussing, debating, musing and bantering.

As always, available any time over the next 9 months via the usual channels if I can help with anything.

I don't mind Ken and his girlfriend Barbie was great but Barry had got to be a Jambo surely?

I’d expect a sizeable number of Hibs fans say Ken a fair bit, ‘Barry’ not so much, unless in the sarcastic sense which is very prevalent these days, as in ‘oh aye that’s ‘baaaaary’.

I always assumed fan reps/directors must be folk with a fair bit of spare time to do the job, it’s interesting and impressive that KP has a young family and a job at the same time, kudos to him, certainly not something I would have the energy and mentality to do.

One thing Kieran left out last night in describing the many things that takes up his time is his cycling - I'm surprised he wasn't on the bike during the podcast.

Enjoyed that and thought KP spoke really well. The one thing I hope he reviews is his answer to the advice to his replacement question.

While I understand his response (due to the obvious time pressures of the 'job') the reason he has connected with the role so well is his ability to communicate with the online fraternity the way he does.

[Sammy7nil]

KP has done a great job to date I will definitely give it a listen.

I thought maybe Ken and Barry were mates of yours.





Thanks for all your hard work on our behalf

Great work lads, another quality listen!

KP will be a huge loss when his time at Hibs is up

I think that is a bit over the top as there is every chance his successor (should he not stand and win again) will see the positive impact his actions have brought and pick up with the same drive and determination KP has shown.

Any of the other candidates who stood last time might have done just as well. KP has been good but he isn't irreplaceable - and I'm sure he would say the same.

I tend to find that people who volunteer for stuff are motivated folk who already have a lot on or are involved in other things through a sense of responsibility or just being pretty active, while folk with a lot of time on their hands enjoy having a lot of time on their hands. A general life observation I guess, and unrelated to Hibs, Longbangers (excellent episode, gents) or, to an extent, Mr Power.

That’s fair, i think Kieran has put a marker down as to what the role could be, though (as did Tracey), and whoever follows him needs to be at least at that level.

What was that saying, "if you want something done give it to a busy person".

I wouldn't have posted that if I thought anybody was actually going to take it seriously.
