Leeann Dempster: Hibs are not binning their youth academy
Hibernian are “absolutely not binning” their academy, according to chief executive Leeann Dempster but they are moving to bolster their first-team squad, even if that comes at a short-term cost for the current players and staff.
Rumours and negativity have enveloped the Easter Road club since chairman Ron Gordon, pictured below, outlined the “substantial and unsustainable” strain being placed on their recently-healthy finances, and revealed the decision to direct their more limited resources to the first team. This would mean pausing or scaling back on other initiatives, including the club’s youth academy.
