Seething at this news , its like she is spoiling for a fight.. .Teflon man needs to GO..

I’ve read it all now. What exactly has dempster done at Hibs for you to form that view?

 

Were you saying that when we were in europe while they were still in the championship?

 

She hired a manager to get Hibs promoted and he failed in two attempts. The manager we hired did it in one.

 

She then lost their next manager through discipline issues, and his replacement was a disaster. Their current manager is so far unconvincing if you talk to Hibeea who go to games.

 

She talked up fan ownership then went quiet when a new owner suddenly appeared and that all went to shit. 

 

Virtually no above average youngsters have come through the ranks during her time.

 

She got roughly a 3rd of what John McGinn was probably worth when they sold him.

 

Their turnover of players during her time  has been almost as high as ours with less upheaval at hibs.

 

Sorry you went to so much bother, my post was tongue in cheek, based on the poster I quoted calling the Hibs CEO Dempsey. If you read it again you may spot a pun or two.

I think she is a control freak. Just like her pal.

 

 

Ann Budge is the opposite of a control freak. 

 

Clearly delegated too much and trusted others 100%, that is not a control freak at all. 

It's the opposite.

I didn't attend the AGM and hadn't seen these embarrassing quotes from Ann before. So thanks to the press. Even if a wee bit belated.

Pretty sure it was on the AGM thread FA and I seem to remember you being on that. Or perhaps not.

What was reported at the time by Aunty was that the club did not proceed with the AGM in a "normal" manner i.e. financials and stuff but AB stood and talked for something like 40+ minutes. 

I hate the SMSM but it must have taken them a good while to trawl through all that she said and make any sense out of it. 

It is very difficult to listen to anyone that is talking shop for 5 minutes let alone an extra 35+ and most will have switched off with it all eventually being nothing more than "white noise".

Nah, your just wrong on this one. 

 

Everything from the stand to the pitch through to the football teams and medical teams she has delegated and empowered folk, maybe too many folk and some times given otjer folk too much automony. 

 

Pretty much exact opposite of what you were saying, like the extreme opposite. 

 

On a one 1 to 10 scale, 10 being correct, you're like at 1.

 

She is not a control freak, not but any stretch.

The article doesn’t state there was anything wrong with the handling injuries as far as I can see. It focuses on getting a better co-ordinatod D3730FDC-CCF0-402D-B039-BBAA7B7C8CDA.jpegresponse from the team. 😎

D3730FDC-CCF0-402D-B039-BBAA7B7C8CDA.jpeg

She mentions that the manager didn’t know who to believe because the sports scientist and the medical team contradicted each other, never Leveins fault it seems.

We don't half piss a lot of money away on staff btw, how do the other teams cope? We'll have qualified physios and sports scientists but we'll need another senior appointment to make sense of the information.

 

A loans manager doing a job that a sporting director or anybody behind the scenes could be managing.

 

We're not a top half EPL team ffs.


Spot on. Throwing wages away for ridiculously unnecessary jobs. Levein will be laughing hysterically, what on earth does he know about the medical side of a football club?

Just admit you got that one wrong. 

 

Her biggest problem was trusting CL too much and giving him too much control over various things. 

 

You've said as much yourself. 

 

That means that Budge is not what you say. 

 

We can then all move on.

This is all part of the restructuring of the football department and to be welcomed. Whether or not Levein is involved it won’t matter as he will be gone in a few months. 
We need a medical (qualified and experienced with a sports background) director to run this department. It’s not just coincidence we have all these injuries there is something wrong and hopefully the cause can be identified and corrected.

I agree with your comment about giving CL too much trust but do you really believe that he did things without her approval?

 

I still think she is a control freak. She took on CL to look after the Footballing Department because she said after the event that she knew nothing about the running of the Footballing side of the business. She is refusing to move him on under the guise of he still has something to offer when in reality she does not want to admit defeat in her abject appointment. She likes to be in control and her stubborness here shows. The media and fans have shown their amazement/displeasure at the fact CL is still around but she still insists on keeping him.why?

 

What did she know about running the Commercial side of a football club?  I know it is a business and she came from a Business background but it is still very different. She took that on why?

 

What did she know about building a new stand? Probably not a lot but she failed to take on a Project Manager for the whole project why? to save money or becasue she wanted to be in control?

She has folk in charge of all aspects of the club, taken on a advisor and given him too much power..... 

 

But you think she is a control freak? 

 

Your post is nonsense, we all know the stand was project managed. 

 

The commercial side recorded record turnover, is that not good? 

 

She can't empower and delegate too much and be a control freak. 

She also has to take on some responsibility or she would just be branded a "lazy cow", it's also her club so she's right to be involved. 

 

Just because you don't like her and she won't "sack herself" does not mean she is a control freak. 

You're embarrassing yourself a bit tbh.

Sounds like she is getting contradictory opinions from the physio and sports scientist...This is not good. Have to admit I am not too sure what a sports scientist does but I assumed it was nutrition and lifestyle stuff rather than body mechanics, which the remit of the attractive brunette we see running on and off the pitch.

Your making an assumption I don't like her because I think she is a control freak.

 

That is simply not true. I admire what she has done for the club and I have only met her once so difficult to say if I liked her or not.

 

She was very pleasant.

 

She really has to delegate because it is a physical impossibilty to do everything herself but that does not mean that she is not still controlling.

 

So because I have a different viewpoint on this to you I am embarrassing myself.

 

It's just my opinion which happens to be different to yours.

Fair enough, but to say she empowered and trusted one man too much and also say that she is a control freak is just a complete contradiction. 

 

It really can't be both?

Pretty obvious isn't it? You've said yourself that she relied on CL for the football side - retrospectively too much but that is irrelevant...We are now transitioning and have a new manager but the DOF position is vacant. Stendel has clearly been given free rein to change things as he sees fit but because of our predicament his focus must be on the First Team.

 

Levein has been retained to cover the other areas (which is unusual but not unheard of in a business where there is little likelihood that he can take information which can be useful to a competitor. Contra is that it is not often done because it breeds a certain amount of uncertainty about roles, which is what we are seeing!...)

 

I don't think a new DOF will be recruited until Levein is gone, or about to go. However, I could be wrong and Ann might once again discover that the best man for the job is already in the role!!! Haha

Unfortunately I think she has more or less paved the way for this to happen albeit perhaps not Levein but AM.

 

She has already made comments about not wanting to lose him because of the relationships he has developed with the likes of Man City and his connections to Northern Ireland etc.

 

That might not be a bad thing but on a personal front I would rather that we had a clean break from all of those involved with CL previously.

Don't understand this viewpoint. Utterly illogical from a business perspective...Akin to holding a grudge against the wife of the guy who shagged your girlfriend.

 

For 5 years you guys told us Levein was a dictator, a control freak, a bully, stubborn etc - You cannot then go and tar the other coaches with the same brush. IMO it is fine that Stendel should pick and choose who to keep, but that doesn't equate to you or anyone else sitting there saying you want all the coaches out.

The first few words on my post you highlighted is "that might not be a bad thing" is relating to the possibilty of AM being the next sporting director. So how do you equate that to tarring all the other coaches with the same brush?

 

So if AB appoints a brand new Sporting Director other than AM or CL are you saying that will be illogical?

 

I am giving my personal opinion that I would rather CL and AM left the club.

 

AB will be the one who decides who stays and who goes.

Nope, she can appoint whomsoever she sees fit as DOF. That is her prerogative as Owner and CEO of the club. 

 

I'm just fed up of others thinking they know better, as if their opinions matter one jot. They don't have to work with or take responsibility for the failure of such person.

 

None of us, you, me or anyone else except Budge has  a right to an opinion or preference either for or against any candidate. That is how it works. 

 

I can live with people judging the team and thus the manager and therefore calling "manager oot" as we are paying customers, and the signings of Levein allow us to judge his performance in that role as poor and say "DOF oot" but we are not in a position to choose who comes in.

That's pretty obvious as the outright owner of the club she can appoint whoever she likes. She also knows that without the support of the majority of the fans any unpopular appointments can backfire but that is her perogative.

 

Who said they know better?  it's a discussion board/forum where people vent their feelings and thoughts. It's just exactly that I doubt anyone who posts on here thinks anything other than this.

 

If you are fed up with what people think on here then take a break from looking at it.

Just because I'm fed up with every thread degenerating into a Levein debate doesn't mean I have to take a break from JKB. This one is meant to be about medics BTW...

 

The only reason I mentioned it was that I believe there are people on here who don't just state their opinion but spam it, which gets us back to their oft-mentioned opinion that MacPhee is somehow tainted by association with Levein even though he was meant to have been working under an arrogant, stubborn, bullying despotic incompetent.
