I know they are ambitious and this is great signing for them. But it indicates that she perhaps wasn’t comfortable or not seen as a long term part of the Gordon regime.

Dempster Goes To Queens Park

A good opportunity for her to be part of a potentially meteoric rise. They've built a great squad for the league they're in and will rise through the leagues if they keep doing what they're doing. A shrewd appointment from them.
Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

But they very likely had no choice.

I don't get that, a Celtic fan pumps money into a club that could be in the same league in a few years time.
I could never pump money into another team, it would be Hibs or nobody.

Good luck to her. She is certainly adventurous going from a top flight club to a second division one.

I suppose we won't know whether that's the case or not unless it's addressed by either party, but I don't think it's a safe assumption. QP are closer to home for Leeann, that seems to be an important factor for her just now.
Either way, I will her well!

Heard her on the radio tonight she spoke about shelf life for people in her role and how she done 7 years at Motherwell then around 7 years at hibs and it just felt to her like it was a good new challenge and the chance for her to work in Glasgow again
To be honest I tend to agree , a fresh pair of eyes is good , you only need to look at Celtic boardroom for an example of keeping the same people in there and it becoming stale

That all sounds reasonable to me. Hibs going in a different direction and she probably has less autonomy than she enjoyed with the previous owner.
Not saying that’s a good or a bad thing, just that it’s entirely natural that both her and Hibs might want a fresh start.
Good luck to her, obviously. She achieved great things with us.

Making out the M8 commute is some kind of hardship!
It’s an hour tops, less than that these days with lockdown, and I doubt she switched clubs just to avoid a wee bit time in the car.

I’d have been surprised if RG kept her permanently. And yes like others have said these positions should really have a shelf life before bringing new blood in to freshen things up.
Great appointment for Queens Park.

Anyone you think she/they will try and get on loan for when and if the season starts back up for them?

At least she won’t have a loyalty points decision to make for the man and his dog that make up the Queens Park support 😀

After overseeing the amazing turnaround in our club over the past 6 years I am very surprised she has not ended up at a Premiership club in England or one of the ugly sisters. Thought she would have been a shoe-in for the Mordor Job. A more than capable business leader and I fully expect Queens park to progress through the Leagues to the SPL with her guidance. All the best Leanne.

How does that work ? She would have to attract huge amounts of investment in order to afford a team that is eventually good enough to achieve promotions.
I can't think why QP would be attractive to anyone who would not have already thought of investing in the other lower league teams.
A really tough job for her here: I will be keen to see how she does.
Maybe she thought it was QPR she applied to...

For one thing she won’t have many (any!) fans to keep happy!
The she probably has a budget to match most or all teams in their league for a year or two and a clear path of some fundamental building blocks to put in place.
Should be a bit of a skoosh for her after the basket case she found when taking over at ER!

Would they end up using Hampden again if they ended up in the premiership? That tiny wee stadium they’re building won’t be big enough.
