Well, now that it's been decided, who's your preference to go/stay up?

For me, and it pains me to say it because I absolutely HATE them with a passion, and think of their fans throwing stuff at Scotty, the muppets on my Facebook, every horrible experience I've had with their mutant fans, but it's them I want to personally go up.

Let's not let feelings get in the way, it's definitely in our best interests that they do. King will put in a decent amount of cash in the summer, they'll strengthen and be organized further by McCall.

I feel with Motherwell and St Mirren in with us that, if we keep the bulk of this team together, we'll walk the league next season and have it won early.

What's everyone's thoughts?

If we can't hold off the challenge of Motherwell and St Mirren then we can just accept we ain't a top tier club any more.

Should really hope Rangers go up as it would probably be better for us but my dream scenario would be to keep Rangers down and keep them down again next season.

If it's the currant buns that will remove the need for re-organisation. The SPFL will be hoping and praying and doing their bit so that all this talk of a 16 team league will be quickly dropped and suddenly a 12 team league will be the best outside the EPL according to Doncaster. Scottish football truly is a f****n joke.

I'm one of those few that thinks Rangers staying down is actually good for us and Scottish football. We did, after all, finish above them in the league. And the idea that King is going to bank-roll them to success is neither realistic or likely.

Motherwell!

If Rangers go up....Scottish football is back to square 1.
Back to the Duopoly and corrupt advantages.

If Rangers fail Togo up....They may well go bankrupt again,as can't pay ridiculous wages forever without Europe and Celtic matches.

Though the game is always corrupt anyway...so probably doesn't make any difference at all!

Youve got to fancy Rangers to be better next year

I cant bring myself to wish them to win though

Might bring on a swift league reconstruction too

Apart from that, I actually fancy Motherwell to turn them over

Rangers are not great - and again look a tired side

We lacked pace out wide to really hurt Rangers - Motherwell have Lionel Ainsworth.

We also lacked composure when we got the chances - Motherwell have Scott MacDonald

I think Motherwell will stay up

Can't believe anyone, who is thinking about this with a level head, would want Sevco to stay in the Championship next season.

They are going to spend in the summer and would likely win the league next season and then we would have another season facing the lottery of the play offs.

No thanks.

I can't stand them and it does stick in the craw a bit to say this but I hope they go up.

Absolutely right. If they stay down they will buy the title next year and we will be scrapping about in the play offs again. Without them we will be red hot favourites to win the league.

Seriously conflicted. Hate the Huns with a passion, what they stand for and how they have emerged from the great fraud. Their fans are disgusting, their players are thugs. Nah, hope they get beat. They deserve nothing and are a very very poor side.

Then watch the SPFL/SFA plan B kick into action.

There is no danger I want those manky hun *******s to win anything. I hope Motherwell rip them a new one. The huns are the most vile institution on planet earth and anything short of their complete annihilation will piss me off.

We've got the beating of those bams and had we not squandered 15 corners on Wednesday, we'd have gone to play Motherwell.

I'll take those radges again ANY day of the week; they are truly pish, there's a chance their financial woes will get them in even more **** and the pish they have on the pitch is nothing to be feared.

In addition, I'd rather cut of my own arm and feed it to a pit bull than ever want those *******s to win ANYTHING.

It's a real dilemma. Rangers winning promotion might make things easier next season, but then again, it might not. They are so poor, I don't think they'd be significantly better than Motherwell. Naturally, whichever outcome benefits Hibs is the answer to the question, but I'm unsure whether the advantage of not playing Rangers next season would be distinct.

Rangers and their vile set of fans are absolute **** of the earth, they are a truly despicable, nasty, vile club and their fans are absolute vermin. I despise them with a passion but it pains me to say that i prefer them to go up. They will strengthen in the summer big time I reckon so we could do with them being out the way to give ourselves the best possible chance of winning the league.

It's not about wanting Sevco Huns to be promoted, it's about not wanting them in our division next season to improve our own chances.

Naturally, whichever outcome benefits Hibs is the answer to the question, but I'm unsure whether the advantage of not playing Rangers next season would be distinct.

They have beaten Hibs twice in our last three matches despite that. The Huns will spend, and/or bring in better players on loan next season. They will also clear out all the deadwood like Boyd, Miller & Black, and will be much stronger next season. Guaranteed, they are not going to sit back and do nothing to improve.

They now have a manager who seems to know what he's doing. He has made them better organised and harder to beat than the shambles under McCoist, & then McDowall who didn't even want the job.

Hibs simply must win the Championship outright next season. A stronger Sevco will make that very difficult indeed.

I despise the Ibrox club and I wish them nothing but bad stuff. However my priority is wanting to see Hibs promoted. With them out of the way, I think that promotion would be more likely, but not a given.

Depends on what you mean by swift. I believe that the very earliest any league reconstruction could take place would be for season 2016/17. No doubt someone will be able to confirm if that's right or wrong.

Even then, reconstruction is by no means a certainty, even if it were to be proposed. A lot of clubs currently in the SPFL will look to protect their own financial interests, and could possibly/probably vote against any change to the status quo.

I don't think we're far off being a very good side who could win this league at a canter ourselves (like Hearts did).

A wee bit more killer instinct in the final third, cut out the silly goals at the back and it doesn't matter who else is in our league.

I will therefore go for a tired The Rangers suffering end of season heartache, a summer of off-the-field squabbling and a miserable 2015-2016 for der hun as karma finally catches up with them.

It would be a thing of beauty to condemn them to a third season in the Championship and the longer they are out of the top league the better it is for Scottish football.

truehibernian
23-05-2015, 09:37 PM
This is where I am too, Trig :agree:

The Rangers cannot afford another season in the Championship JB......bargaining in my opinion has already begun with reconstruction, a word unheard of until last month, appearing more and more in the media and press. It's always been on the cards and I'm firmly of the opinion that even if we win the league next season, there will be a new league format in Scotland and a 16 team league.

The Rangers being in the Championship means that the SPFL will undoubtedly want, and feed through the media, a 'need for change' - before a ball is kicked in anger season 2015/16.

Motherwell will beat The Rangers - they were there for the taking second half today. Boys put a shift in but we became disjointed and rushed. Effort was there, skill in flashes.......but quite simply we had no teeth. It's not that bad a result at the end of the day, I was more peed off at the semi v Falkirk........next season I think we will see pace, width and youth. The derbies are a huge loss, but to be frank, The Championship will be competitive and a fantastic learning ground for our young players coming through like Allan, Duthie, Dunsmore, Martin........it's how I envisaged the season end (sadly) so I am not surprised.

Hibs beat The Rangers 4 times, outplayed Hearts in every derby......consistency let us down as well as the start of the season when the previous regime left us in a football coma........Stubbs and the players have been superb in my opinion, we just lacked game intelligence last two games and had horrid luck re Forster and Boyle.

Onwards and upwards.......I'll guarantee we will have 4 games versus The Rangers next season too :agree:

I've heard a few people say that the rangers will be stronger next year, but I don't see it. I think they'll really struggle to sell season tickets for another year in the championship, and they still owe Mike Ashley 5m. They have massive financial problems that will only worsen with another year in the Championship. So **** the rangers, I hope they get pumped.

I'm with you, they have a huge rebuilding job, what quality players can they really attract in the Championship. If they don't start next season well, the pressure will really build (no different to us I guess) and the fans will turn. They could be back to leaking millions every month.

So we go toe to toe with them all season and it comes down to the last game of the season. That's great but what if in that last game of the season they win and we draw. They go up and we end up being stuck in this league for a third year. Erm, no thanks. Why take the risk, we are well shot of them.

After sitting in their end on Wednesday and seeing the horrible vermin up close I immediately wanted Motherwell to win but the more I think about it for the benefit of Hibs it has to be rangers that go up.They will invest next year so it makes more sense for it to be Motherwell coming down!

I understand the logic of wanting rangers to up but I hope well hump them. Can't see it though. I just had a look at the premiership table and motherwells home form was pretty solid, only 3 points worse than st johnstone. Their away form was absolutely honking though, only picking up 10 points from 19 matches. With a nearly full ibrox backing the huns I can see well struggling on thursday. Mccall should know how to set up to counter their strengths too.

Motherwell have IMO a decent chance. They have a good spine of experienced players in McManus, McDonald, Hammell, Pearson and their form has improved. Not be much in this at all IMO.

Exactly where I am guv, I posted this on another thread last night.

Anyone who doesn't think Rangers will be much stronger next season is on another planet and it's far better for us if they go up.

I will not watch the play offs as I know that against all the above logic I would want Motherwell to win.

If its Motherwell and St. Mirren that come down I reckon they will both have to slash their budgets substantially, in fact I know a few Motherwell fans who reckon it could be terminal for them.

A few of the QOTS players have already left and others will follow soon so hopefully we could piss it next season.

I see we got a bit of bad press in this morning's papers, for only giving them 1/2 of the South, but I can't remember seeing Rangers getting too much bad press for only giving us 950 as well, and they had more empty seats at Ibrox than we had at ER
