deej Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 For what its worth on my Football manager save they eventually get promoted next season, then proceed to finish 12th the season after.. While the Rangers don't finish above 5th for the next few years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ScottMann Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Hibs looked like what they were when we played them, a lower division team with a couple of good players but little up front. We continued our awful run of form at the time but even then could have won had Lappin's free kick gone in. It's what hurts so much about that defeat. Hibs are by far the worst team we've lost to in our numerous semi defeats and were there for the taking but we fluffed it. If they did get up and didn't sign a load of new players they'd be fighting relegation again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sainties sheep Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 They have 2 things we don't at the moment, confidence and cash.The 2016 - 17 season could be the closest fought season in a long time with teams outside the top 2 or 3.Top 6 for us next year could be a huge achievement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Considering all the doom and gloom, we have a 98.7% chance of finishing in the top 6 again. I'd be pretty chuffed if the top 6 ended up being the sides already in it - some big pay days for us to help our summer signing spree.

50yrs a Saint Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 The odds above are misleading. If Patrick and Dundee both win their final two games (granted it's unlikely) and we take a point off Killie, Motherwell won't be in top 6 if they lose to Celtic. How that equates to 100% for Motherwell is beyond me. I wouldn't put our odds at as high as 98.7% either, although hopefully they will be 100% after tonight's games!

blueheaven Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Its probably because they played us off the park just months agoThat point might be understandable if it was something that actually happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is Hibs, then they are in dire straits financially if they don't get up this season and their squad next year will defo be weaker, hence the extra pressure on them that is starting to showIf it is Rangers, then how anyone can say they really have cash is dubious HOODLUM65 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Both Hibs and Rangers budgets will dwarf ours next season, regardless of division. Its not even debateable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ex-montrosesaintee Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Do we want both Dundee teams to win tonight, to make the title race a bit less of a formality, and keep the best teams in the top 6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
