Hopefully with hearts out the picture for a few seasons we can start holding our own club to account.

Nah, can't see it myself. In fairness, I think you're wearing your optimistic specs on both counts.

That won't happen this season, much as people like me get our jollies out of winding you lot up that it will. If Butcher spends what he should have available to him and uses that reasonably well you won't be in any danger next season either.

I think it's safe to say you won't be coming straight back up. Then we can fully concentrate on how pish we are. Unless of course we conspire to join you, humped by a Paul Hartley - inspired Dundee in the play offs.

Why would you say that, aside from wishful thinking? I think it would be safe to say in the event we were to stay in administration, but that's unlikely to be the case. Otherwise we'll comfortably have the second biggest wage budget in the division (and bigger than most SPFL clubs). I'm well aware that Gary Locke is perfectly capable of misdirecting a budget, but chances are that the new owners will see him replaced anyway.

You won't be in the play-offs, by the way. No respect intended (:p), it's just that there's no way all of St. Mirren, Ross County, Partick and Kilmarnock will leapfrog you.

Can't see it I'm afraid. That league will be more competitive than you realize. Don't get me wrong, I'd prefer hearts to bounce back up at the expense of Sevco, but I would be very surprised if they managed it first time round. You will also have to do without all the points we hand to you without fuss each season.

Can't see where the next Hibs goal is coming from, however think St Mirren are probably just about ****e enough that they won''t catch us but I doubt we will pick up any more points this year.

I don't think there's any question of anyone being promoted at the expense of Rangers. I was more hoping we'd be promoted at the expense of Ross County or Partick or someone like that. :eek:

Hibs won't be in the play-offs this season, and that's my final word on that matter. My money is on St. Mirren (or would be, if the administrator let me go to the bookies).

I'm assuming this is an April Fools but...you never know with the SFA!

Compliance Officer issues notice of complaint to Griffiths for "singing in public about Heart of Midlothian being in administration"

This season has been pure ****e from start to finish, Maybe watching Hibs too long but I am not filled with confidence for the rest of the season we have that bad mix of can't score and can't keep a clean sheet

At least under Fenlon we were keeping few clean sheets and we just lacked creativity. Now we look disjointed.

CZ 453 · 19-04-2014 4:58pm

A bloody shambles again today. Relegation play off is on the cards. Shocking stuff

The_Kew_Tour · 19-04-2014 10:05pm

1st divison attendences could be higher then Premier League.

Ross County. I meant to say Ross County.

Come back Pat. All is forgiven

Lennonist · 10-05-2014 2:07pm

Hibs heading for a play off v Hamilton. What has happened there. It got a hell of a lot worse when they replaced Fenlon with Butcher, they've failed to win any of their last 10 games. Something wrong there, they shouldn't be struggling that badly.

eire4 · 10-05-2014 11:56pm

wow what a shambles. I cannot believe that Hibernian are in the relegation playoff and heading into it in a total tailspin. Would be sad to see Hibernian go down but the lack of goals is unreal and confidence has to be in the toliet at this point.

The_Kew_Tour · 10-05-2014 11:57pm

Sick of playing Celtic to be honest.

Rather play Queen of South etc

;-(

Fact is. If you give Hearts back their points deduction, Hibs are then last and already relegated.

Shambles

This would not be the position if Fenlon was still at the club. Nothing near it. No doubt whatsoever!

The_Kew_Tour · 11-05-2014 12:16am

I wanted Fenlon to stay but it changed after Hearts defeat in LC and I thought maybe it was for best.

In hindsight.

Fenlon was making progress but in baby steps. Football fans demand more in little time.

We are a joke. No question about it.

dreamers75 · 11-05-2014 12:44am

Hibs Hearts and Rangers in 1st div season possibly.

Do you really think that's a possibility???? You're 6 points clear of St. Mirren. Being relegated is unthinkable for Hibs.

Honestly shocked it has come to that. How did it go so wrong for Hibs? And will Butcher be for the axe if you do go down?

The whole club stinks from the bottom up.

We need a freshness and I thought Butcher was step in right direction.

It's actually frightening how bad we are right now.

The_Kew_Tour · 21-05-2014 9:44pm

Will take that.

Looking good, but Hibs don't do things the easy way. Can see draw at weekend.

CZ 453 · 21-05-2014 11:03pm

We still look shocking.

PauloMN · 25-05-2014 5:39pm

Extra time.... jaysus Hibs!

Bobeagleburger · 25-05-2014 5:47pm

Is this game on any station?

EDIT found it BT1

Think it might be on BT Sports, I don't have it though, just saw a headline that it had gone to extra time.

PauloMN · 25-05-2014 6:03pm

Penalties. Unbelievable. I thought being 2 nil up after the first leg that Hibs would have put this to bed at home, but there's been zero consistency with them all season.

Frankie Lee · 25-05-2014 6:04pm

Penalties, sad to see it come down to this.

PauloMN · 25-05-2014 6:11pm

Wow. Hibs down.

Bobeagleburger · 25-05-2014 6:11pm

Wow, Hibs lose on pens.

What a horrible way to go down.

Frankie Lee · 25-05-2014 6:12pm

The second tier of Scottish football is going to be interesting next season.

Jelle1880 · 25-05-2014 6:13pm

I feel sorry for The_Kew_Tour, but Accies totally deserved this.

Bit of a shock to see both Hibs and Hearts down.

Potential spanner in the works for Rangers as well.

Think I'll watch the Championship next season!

CZ 453 · 25-05-2014 6:22pm

Don't forget Falkirk. It'll be tough

Soups123 · 25-05-2014 6:22pm

Championship will be more competitive than the Prem.

Never thought I'd see the day Rangers, Hearts and Hibs would drop out of the top flight.

The performance from the Hivs players today was shocking

Cheerybye Fenlon, nice guy but totally out your depth at Hibs. Please leave before you do any further damage.

Always thought Fenlon did a pretty decent job at Hibs and didn't get the credit he deserved.

I don't think anyone could have envisaged their total capitulation under Butcher, but still, it underlines what Fenlon achieved with pretty limited resources.

It'll definitely be a very competitive league, can't see Rangers do what they've done in the last 2 seasons.

Do you think it puts more pressure on the board (rangers)to sign players increasing the bills and in turn more pressure on the fans to buy the season tickets now?

CZ 453 · 25-05-2014 7:15pm

I think, and I may be open to correction but all season tickets can be refunded now as they were based on playing in the premier division. I think the sales may have to start all over again.

Yeah sorry was referring to Rangers

But yeah would think Hibs would have to refund

CZ 453 · 25-05-2014 7:19pm

The last I heard, Rangers were only accepting cash for season ticket sales.

There was something about fans not doing that and putting in it some supports trust to drip feed payments game on game ( prob not a discussion for a Hibs thread )

I will be very surprised if Rangers sell enough season tickets they have already extended the deadline. The fans now realise the only way to see change at Ibrox is to starve the spivs out.
As has been said though this is not the place for that discussion

PauloMN · 25-05-2014 7:30pm

Would this situation mean that the Championship is now worth more TV money than the Premiership? Edinburgh derby, Rangers continuing journey up the leagues, three big clubs fighting for 1 automatic promotion and 1 playoff spot etc. I can see more potential rights revenue than on offer in the Premiership tbh.

Dozen Wicked Words · 25-05-2014 7:35pm

Shows what a massive result Cowdenbeath got in their play off to stay in the Championship (for 1 more season at least). Should secure the Blue Brazil future for a few years with so many bigger teams in the league.

Blackjack · 25-05-2014 8:30pm

Am absolutely disgusted. When Butcher took over we were 7th. He's managed a single win in 19 Games.

Pat Fenlon was clearly under rated, compared to Butcher.

ebbsy · 25-05-2014 8:33pm

Wtf, did Hibs not hammer them away ?

CZ 453 · 25-05-2014 8:41pm

Beat them 2-0 but didn't hammer them.Their Player/manager Alex Neil was very positive after the first leg.He had a plan and stuck to it.He knew if they got the early goal then hibs would fall apart
