    Is Mulraney away or not?

    I can only find out through the same sites as you and as far as I can see along with Scott Boden both are still with the club. Brian Rice saying there are 12 players would include all contracted players remaining 14 if the two remaining players out of contract sign up for next season.

    Esson, Fon Williams, McKay, Tremarco, Raven, Warren, Polworth, Draper, Doran, Vigurs, this is a decent group of players to build around.

    Consecutive relegations

    With icing and a cherry on top. Gotta love it when we are written off, about time too, missed that.:lol:

    Whats latest, our interim manager Brian Rice is expecting two of our out of contract players Cammy MacKay and Kevin McNaughton to sign for next season. Given that we already have 12 players we are not to bad of when it comes to numbers. Lets hope the new manager can get the players organised on the pitch and back playing the way they had been doing up to last season.

    So we have a core group of players to build around, it could have been a lot worse. What we miss is a bit of creativity and a couple of players who can score regularly and we are set for next season. Get in a few promising young players and lets see if any are up to the task and can help move us forward again.

    Gotta love how people assume a newly promoted side will be shoeins to be challenging for a European place

     

    This decade newly promoted sides have had some success with this, Rangers and Hearts have claimed European spots over the last two seasons, Hamilton spent much of their first season back in the top three before falling away badly and same season Dundee also were there and there abouts. Ross County only just missed out by a few points on their first season up. Inverness CT were in a good position in the first half of the season before falling away. Only Partick and Dunfermline have not been in a position to challenge during their first season up.

    So it would be safe to assume this promoted Hibs side will spend much of next season in the top six there or there abouts in the Euro places or close enough to challenge, not so much because promoted sides have a good track record but because they genuinely look a better side than 8 of the Premiership teams and could probably be as good as both Rangers and St. Johnstone.

    I'm guessing that you have some top footballing sources

     

    Really? Maybe it shows how bad kiernan is but i thought he was doing ok for a youngster, imo the problem was a lightweight midfield getting brushed asides.

    Folk forget that for most of last season we'd lost most of our first choice midfielders and had to rely on championship  level players. 

     

    These were players that were brought in to play in the Premiership hence why most still have two, three years of their contracts still to go. Looks like a build for the future and with Rangers the future when they were brought in would be the top of the Premiership and playing in Europe every season. I would have thought they were Premiership level given they were relied on and helped get you to 3rd place in the Premiership.

    How can you not love Sato....wonderful. 

    Sato is brilliant and crazy at the same time. Earlier on the onboard on Helios car as Helio tried to pass I think Davison, you just catch a glimps of Taku's car nosecone almost running into the back of Davison, could have been disaster there. Only 2 wins in Indycar and one of them the biggest race in the world, incredible. :thumsup2

    I'm pretty sure Zak Brown said in an interview that they have scheduled in a few appearances for Alonso at Indy but I can't find the interview at the moment.  He was competitive and if he is serious about the triple crown then he will be back.

    Alonso back for the Indy 500, Fort Worth and Pocono. Look forward to that next year.

    Alan Preston said it "wouldn't sit easily with him" if Dundee United spent a second season in the Championship.

    He also said "we all want the big teams in the Premiership".

    Auchinleck Talbot, they're a big club......allegedly. Depending on opinion.
