    Thank you Leeann Dempster

    Scotsman reporting that LD officially left the club this evening. Apparently there is no immediate replacement but I imagine I am not the only one who will wish her all the very best. She brought our club forward in great strides. I hope RG will do the same, with bells on, going forward.

    Thank you for taking our club from one of its lowest ebbs to one that we can be proud of again.

    Best signing for the club in my lifetime.

    It can't be overlooked just how shambolic a state we were in when Dempster entered the frame, the turnaround was remarkable and I don't believe for a second it could have happened under the previous leadership. Leeann leaves with a whole lot of work she can be proud of, and the gratitude of many, many Hibs fans.

    Whoever takes over the role has big shoes to fill, but is joining a club in a very strong position, with so much potential for growth. Night and day.

    Thanks Leeann. Take care.

    She did very well & has given the club a good platform to move forward from, let's make sure we use it.

    Thank you Leeann.
    You took helped take us from one of the blackest days in my time supporting the Hibs to a day I had almost given up seeing in my lifetime.
    Thanks for all you have done for the Club and good luck in the future.

    An absolutely integral part of turning the club around from the car crash it was when she arrived. There can't be many CEOs who will be remembered with affection by the fans of clubs they worked for, Leeann Dempster is without doubt in that select group.

    Thanks for everything Leeann, all the very best to you for the future

    Goes without saying
    She was a breath of fresh air when she joined Hibs
    Took the club by the scruff of the neck and turned it around dramatically
    The person who continues the project of taking us to the next level has got a legacy to follow
    Best of luck Leann but stay away from Glasgow’s ugly sisters

    Tough act to follow. She has composure and credibility.

    I think she did a very good job overall, initially in difficult times. I wish her all the best for her future.

    Leeann is without a doubt one of the best things to happen to the club in my time as a supporter, and I go back to the Harry Swan era. The lady is a class act and will be incredibly difficult to follow.
    Thank you for all you achieved at Hibernian, Leeann, and all the very best for the future.

    She will quite rightly be remembered as a Hibernian legend. Says everything about her.

  17. #16
    Think we will look back in years to come and realise what an amazing job she did. She put a structure in place for the manager where he was supported fully.

    Will miss her interviews and hope she can look back fondly on her time at hibs.

    Looking from the outside at staff recruitment and political decisions the only one she appeared to get wrong was employing Hecky but even then moved him on at the right time.
    That is one hell of a batting average. Hibs were very lucky to have her as our CEO.

    Would not have won the cup without her and the sensational job she did rebuilding this club. Seriously. Folk complain about us now but it's nothing like the 4 dreadful years prior to relegation. Club has come on leaps and bounds and she's been the main player. I wish her nothing but success.

    A friendly and down to earth lady who got things that needed to be done, whether popular or not, done.

    CEO’s can’t be a force of change forever though, and I think we got the best out of her in her six and a bit years.

    I wish you well in your next challenge, and the Oz Hibs branch have bought a new BBQ which will be unpacked, and fired up, should you ever venture this far south.

    She transformed and modernised us. It’s a shame we didn’t recruit her 5 years earlier, she did an excellent job. Wish her well as think it was probably time for a amicable mutual parting.

    If Petrie has any sense he’ll get her in to sort the SFA.

    Good luck Leanne
    The jambos hated you. That meant you were one of us.
