been here before Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 There was a good interview she done with Eadie Stark a few months back. Quite interesting really. She talks about her background, supporting Der Hun, working in advertising, getting the job at MotherwellI then Hibs, a bit about her personal life,its well worth listening to and probably still kicking about online somewhere.

OTT Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 She certainly made Hibs more competitive. Would I take her at Hearts though? Honestly, don't know. Maybe? She's clearly competent at what she does and can pick a manager. She also defended the hibs fans pretty vigorously during her tenure. If Budge wanted to become less involved I wouldn't be against it.

If she's that good someone is really going to have to explain how, despite their attendances supposedly matching or even shading ours, they make bugger all in comparison to the club that is actually run by someone with superb business instincts. And don't give me that defending the hibs fans pish. You forget so quickly what the hibs fans were indulging in. She was deliberately underhand in her less than unequivocal condemnation of their behaviour. We weren't. There's Hearts class and there's hibs class. One club attracts benefactors so impressed by the running of the club we can have a charitable sponsorship, the other can't even get a 2-bit internet gambling sponsor. Business acumen or class - I'll stick with Budge if it's all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think her record of picking managers is overhyped. Stubbs failed to get promoted in 2 attempts. Lennon only managed to get Hibs a couple of points more in the Championship than Stubbs and left when they were 8th in the League. Heckingbottom looks like a disaster in waiting. Noted Stubbs and Lennon had some highs but overall they weren’t particularly good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambostuart Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Dempster at Hearts would not be a good appointment in my opinion. Her role in HSL while also being on the board during their takeover is shady at best and I'd be wanting her away for that reason alone. She definitely does not have the fans in mind. Even aside from that, Hibs failed to gather a shirt sponsor this season, and they've done feck all competitively (with the exception of the SC win which is what bought them any time at all), including struggling to get out of the Championship. How good has she really been for Hibs? Not very I would say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that he wants them to turn HSL in to a funding vehicle, and that it will be used to pay for upgrades to East Mains. I think he will put the money in up front for the project, but he wants them to pony up to pay him back, probably with interest.
