    Made the right call on your first day in sacking the dinosaur Butcher. Haven’t got many wrong since then either.

    Some legacy you leave behind, without your hard work there’s no doubt in my mind that the Scottish Cup would still be alluding us.

    Having said that all high profile roles have a shelf life for both the individual and the organisation. Good luck on the next part of your journey whatever that may be.

    Forever a place in Hibstory assured - it’s a shame that some folks (surely a tiny minority if vocal at times) will only truly appreciate what she brought now that she’s gone.

    The best appointment bar none that could have been made at the time. Many were surprised we got her (myself included) she was just what we needed at that time a master stroke in securing the services of Stubbs and team around him.

    Time will tell what happened with Lenny - Hecky what if the players had clicked or if he’d altered his system? In Ross who knows...

    It’s probably a good time to hand over the baton.
    Focus more on commercials after building on the community aspect. Maybe with COVID that will prove a more lasting and timely legacy to make a real difference?

    Best wishes and good luck for the future Leeann.Had great admiration for her in many things and especially the way she handled the Neil Lennon affair with dignity and composure .Real class.

    Not saying he won’t be considered , but we wouldn’t have to ask to speak to a CEO...and also, who would we actually ask ? Would it not be him?

    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.

    Very hard to get everything right, but she seemed to get most things right. She is very impressive in what she does. Thank you Leeann and best wishes in your future.

    I realise there's some people that didn't quite take to her, and that's fair enough, but overall she did a fantastic job at Hibs.

    As others have already said, having the foresight to dump Butcher was the start of our revival.

    Cometh the hour, cometh the woman. Events show was absolutely the best person for us at the time she took the job. The club was going downwards rapidly.

    A genuine part of recent Hibs history and I think she made a great success of getting the club firmly on the right track.

    Leaves with my gratitude and good wishes.

    Thanks for all the good work you did at our Club Leeann, you've been a breath of fresh air and you will be a very hard act to follow.

    All the best for the future.

    Thank you Leeann. A hugely significant appointment for Hibs at one of the lowest times of our history. Even called me once at home, because of a communication breakdown I was experiencing with the administration office over a lift pass. A real class act.

    Good luck in everything you do, but you know as well as us, nothing will top that day in May..👍🇳🇬

    Best signing Rod Petrie ever made. Turned the club around and gave us a fantastic platform to move forward.
    Good luck wherever you end up Leeanne.

    Thanks Leeann you turned the club into a well structured professional outfit and improved the PR of the club from nil to 100%. So won't see you at the Jet Garage in Tranent ever again.

    Thanks for everything Leeann and best of luck for the future. Please don't go to Hearts or Rangers. Maybe go sort out the SFA. 💚

    The coverage in the Scotsman is quite poor. No substance, no interviews or quotes and leading with a negative tone. The allegations of an impatient support are absurd.

    We are an impatient support though. Dempster has achieved parity at Hibs.

    The Scotsman are claiming that we impatient and agitated for Leeann’s successor to be announced, which is horse s*** imo.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you Leeann. She sorted my family out with their Scottish Cup Final tickets in 2016 when ticket office didn't respond.

    I am proud to be next to her name on the yellow HSL 3rd strip this season.

    She brought so much love and joy back to being a Hibee, after one of our lowest ebbs. Good luck to her on her future endeavours.

    Hopefully she will take up a post down south and not end up at Hunbrox
