Speaking as someone who has experienced this recently with their own club I can say there is a huge gap between those final positions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's certainly too good for the Championship Not for me. He's clearly still a good player but not good enough to justify keeping a guy who is constantly injured. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee Hibernian Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 1 hour ago, Sortmeout said: Speaking as someone who has experienced this recently with their own club I can say there is a huge gap between those final positions. Depends on which year and which clubs, perhaps. There were a few freak seasons where Hearts, Hibernian and the new Rangers were probably better performing entities on the park than clubs in the top half of the Premiership. And this season a few clubs with decent financial advantages over others have underachieved. Something that never can be proven anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibby82 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 The Premiership is terrible, Dundee in the top six being exhibit A. Literally just need some competent, reliable 7/10 performers in a few key areas to be well clear of the relegation places. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainkev Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 If we'd signed Wotherspoon up on a longer deal initially then I'd be content with having him in the squad for next season. There were games that you could see what he had to offer as he was settling in. However, he's just not had a big enough impact, largely due to injury, to justify offering him an extension. If we release him I expect it'll be Championship clubs that will be competing to sign him up, not another Premiership team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In many ways, Dundee are the blueprint for what we would want to do next season. A sensible managerial appointment and a huge turnover in playing staff. Most of their signings have done well, and as a result they get top 6. Gits 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m only really going from my own teams struggles last year with much the same squad as what won us the Championship. I suppose United fans have got more experience of the Championship than I do so maybe it is possible. Did Utd go Championship - 4th - 12th - Championship? I thought there was another premiership year in between. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
