Beast Boy Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Just now, SwindonJambo said: If that's true then agreed. She'll pitch up somewhere in football though. Yep. I think she will probably bounce around a few different jobs tbh. I think that’s the best thing for career too. I could be wrong, but it looks to me like she diverted money from other areas of the club to the Motherwell first team, and that’s where the short lived success came from, before she left. That’s Zoom and Motherwell that went in to admin with her at the helm, or shortly after she bolted. Also the rest of Hibs’ non-first team operations seem to have stalled somewhat since she’s been there. She feels a bit ‘boom and bust’ to me. Gets the first team juiced up and delivers comparative short term success, then bolts before the scrimping elsewhere starts to cause problems. Could be wrong, just how it feels with her previous positions, to me... in saying all that, that’s probably part of the job description at Sevco just now.

TheOak88 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I haven’t really read that much about Ron the Con. Has he done much media interviews or anything where he has stated his intentions with Hibs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballfirst Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I think we will see exec changes at Hearts once FOH acquires the majority shareholding. Even Ann Budge admits that it is not good governance that the majority shareholder, the chairman and CEO are all the same person. While Ann recently indicated that she would stay on for another couple of years, I think that may be as Chairman rather than CEO. She will probably want to appoint someone she trusts as CEO, which could be someone already at the club, or an associate from outside. Demptster would certainly meet the requirements for an outsider.

RobNox Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Wouldn't be that huge a surprise if she did end up here. Ann currently carries out the role of Chair Woman and CEO. The CEO role is more demanding on a day to day basis, and Ann isn't getting any younger. If she was thinking of cutting down her involvement, then appointing a new CEO would be a logical step. She could remain as Chair, still have an overseeing role, but less demanding of her time. The only thing is that with FOH due to assume control in c. 8 months time, she might feel it inappropriate to make that sort of appointment at this time. I have always had a feeling that once the handover to FOH takes place, she may decide to stand down as CEO while remaining as Chair if we wish her to do so.

Probably the reason I dislike a monotonous Lanarkshire accent is that for years I worked beside a lassie from Lanarkshire who had the most monotonous voice, was loud as well to make matters worse. I'm not sure what a Lanarkshire accent with a hint of Swindon might sound like though, assuming you might have picked up a bit of a Wiltshire twang!

Shanks said no Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Gordon the Moron was in the directors lounge on Saturday. Only titbits I received were that he seemed a nice man and didn't drink. That and he was in deep conversation with others in a corner and Dempster was there, was all I gleamed. Will see if I can get more info tomorrow.

Section Q Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 2 hours ago, Gizmo said: That for one. Also the way she tried to make out their con-job of a scheme as somehow better than ours. Also the barely literate, idiotic, travel lodge statement and the times we issued joint statements and Hibs tried to be clever by being in no way as unequivocal in condeming the misdeeds of their support than we are. I wouldn't throw in her free/discounted ticket scheme which has artificially inflated their support (clearly evidenced in the turnover barely rising) as it might turn out to be good business if they manage to turn enough of the freeloaders happy to con their own club into full-paying season tickets, but it all adds to a feeling that I wouldn't be comfortable with her being involved with us.

Shortly into her tenure at Hibs, after some disastrous result (early in the Championship season that we went on to skoosh) she issued a statement apparently written from a Travel Lodge where she was staying temporarily, and it certainly read as if she'd enjoyed a fair bit of room service! I might be wrong, but I seem to recall she had taken refuge at the hotel as she was getting abusive messages from vermin supporters at home. You really need to see the statement to appreciate the full comedy value. Hopefully someone on here may have a link to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite interesting listening to Tam Cowan on OTB's assessment a couple weeks back. They were having a discussion on the back of Tierney leaving for Arsenal about players which left them as fans feeling gutted - Cowan never went for a player and said that losing Leanne Dempster was the biggest loss for Motherwell. From the sound of things, Hibs fans have also been very impressed with her tenure and also have undoubtedly been on the up since her appointment. You might have an intense dislike for her and perhaps some valid criticisms, but lets not the maroon tinted specs completely blind us.
