rebuild?

How many times are we going to have to do this though? A year down the line from now, we'll have probably sacked another manager and so the cycle begins again. It's just not sustainable. I don't have a scoobie how we get out of this cycle mind you!

Other sides who have spent far less than us have far better teams than us. Butcher built one of these sides.
Also, look at Motherwell. Their team seems to get ripped apart every year...yet they still rebuild and are consistently in the mix for europe.
So yes, we can afford to rebuild the team.

Full clear out required!
Williams - stay
Stanton - stay
Harris - stay
Handling - stay
Forster - stay
Hanlon - stay
The rest can stay the **** away from my football club!

Easy. Sell of the pink elephant called east mains because we obviously dont use it. What a ferking waste of money thats been. Use the money to buy some football players and get rid of the dross we have. Then train down in Gullane.

I think the question actually should be, "can Hibs afford NOT to rebuild the team, and rebuild it properly?"
We are a club heading in only one direction, and it aint anywhere rosy. If the people that run Hibs care at all about the club and the fans, they'll bite the bullet and back Butcher in the summer. There are currently only 2 or 3 players that should stay, so it's going to take some re-building.

I'd keep the rest as well but to be truthful, the only one who has looked genuinely good this season is Stanton.

Options in order of preference:
1. Play attractive football and win
2. Play hoofball and win
3. Play, or at least try to play, attractive football and lose
4. Play hoofball and lose.
Guess which option we appear to be going with at the moment.

The clear out
Am I the only person who wouldn't keep a single one of them?
First half was shocking and second half a bit better but the players aren't the standard required to carry out the job. Every single one of them. We need to spend in the summer or we are ****ed for next season.

We'll not be 're-building'; we'll be 'building for life in a lower league, and a long life at that

YES. Butcher's wage budget was around £800k a year at Inverness. It'll be about four times that at Hibs. If Butcher can do this summer what he did at Inverness, we could easily be top three next year.
I just hope that's 3rd in the SPL!

I'd agree with Stanton, Forster and Harris. For me, Handling is nowhere near good enough, although Butcher may decide he is worth keeping another year and maybe putting out on loan to see if he can step up.
I think we need to sign two CBs this summer, so for me that means Hanlon will either be cover, or he'll have to move position, and personally I'd put him in central midfield as I think he'd be a lot better there.
There's a handful of other players who could MAYBE do a job if we bring the right players in beside them, but I don't think Butcher will be rushing to renew any of their contracts.
