[QUOTE=Cropley10;3282014]If Pat's the man.

If we've actually got any money to 'release'.

If we can sign between 6 and 9 decent players.

I can see us finishing 2nd or 3rd.

Agree they are big "IF's" but thats the beauty off pre season a club like Hibs must believe that we can finish the best off the rest each season as a minimum. Starting with any other thought ie finishing mid table is just unacceptable imo. During the season we have plenty of time to measure actual results v expectations.
Im hoping we get the players we need...with Rangers going bust its now we need to do everything to finish second as they'll be back in the SPL within a few years
