I believe that the rot has stopped and that now the foundations are being put into place for the rebuilding of the team. With the signings of mcpake, williams, clancy, griffiths and future signings. For our current situation of a 10th and then a 11th placed finish these signings are great as williams had offers from the championship probably as a number 2 but on better cash, clancy could have stayed with the team that will challenge for 2nd place in motherwell and leigh is still a good striker.
This season I believe the team will battle for a 8th or 7th placed finish with further improvements to break into the top 6 the next season.
But how long do you think it will be until were back up in the top 6 and do you agree with anything ive said ?

Scrape top 6 this season if we manage a body or two in before the window 'scams shut' and we make a clever signing or two in January. I think it won't be til next season before we look like a comfortable top 6 side.
Hopefully we give Pat the time to rebuild properly in a way that establishes us as top 6 at worst, on a sustainable basis.Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)

Think this season will be mid table at best only because of the crap that is still there from last season, he was never going to be able to get a full new squad no matter what we wanted. Hopefully get rid of the rest between now and end of season with a couple coming in in january then another 5 or 6 in the summer

We are not going to get the money to buy the quality that we need. That is going to have to come from the youth set ups. Think we are looking at three seasons maybe.

With the current team , I personally think we are miles away from the top six. However the good news is this league apart from Celtic has short termism attached to it . A few good purchases and a couple of decent youngsters and at least for the next three years second place is attainable . Nutsy though has to address our biggest failing - we are pushovers . Our midfield neither creates nor destroys , hopefully Deegan can start changing that situation .

I'd hope we're back in the top 6 within the next 2 to 3 years.
I'd hope we might beat Hearts again before then though.Last edited by Cropley10; 08-08-2012 at 06:24 PM.

Don't worry, we're just going through a transitional period.
It's been in progress for about 5 years now and no-one can possibly argue that we've transitioned...
...from quite decent to total sh*te.

Defo won't be anywhere near top six this season (unless we sign 3,4,5 quality players). We only have Griffiths who scores goals, midfield has little / no creativity plus there all midgets, we don't have any decent wingers plus no target man upfront, we still don't have a decent left back / comanding 6'3 centrehalf (Mind u happy wi McPake and Hanlon partnership). We might finish top six next season in the first division. Hopefully not hail hail

I voted next season (2013/14).
In terms of SPL finishes over the next four sesaons, my guess would be:
2012/13 8th
2013/14 6th
2014/15 5th
2015/16 6th
I realise that for some on here this forecast will place me in that vast category within the Hibs support otherwise known as The Hopeless Optimists.
Expectations such as the above are killing our club. [Allegedly]

I would hope that after the January window that we will have a top 6 team/squad. It might be too late to scrape top 6 this season, but nailed on for next.
