This years Scottish Championship had a title race with three teams near enough neck and enough with 135 minutes to go. The final day saw the eventual winners play out the final minutes of their game knowing the loss of one goal would see them lose the title and automatic promotion on goals scored. Next season's second tier isn't going to be as exciting as the current one. |

I was just wondering if his cider of choice was Blackthorn rather than Magners?

Aye, a Hearts v Hibs tie in the Championship is sure to whet the appetite far more that the same fixture this season in the SPL, with worse players and less fans. As for the bloated corpse of Rangers, they make Vinny Jones-era Wimbledon look like Barcelona. Bound to be a belter of a league right enough. What have you mixed your cider with? |

Definitely going to be a more interesting league than the top flight. |

Sure, in the sense that it'll be a desperate scrambling fight for the top spot while the SPL (a/k/a SPFLFLPLG or whatever it is now) isn't going to be. I hope. I won't be watching any of those games, but I'm sure the results will provide some entertainment, and we will of course larf and larf if sevco slips at the final hurdle in their grand journey. |

Aye, if Hibs come down and Butcher gets a go at building his own squad, then it'll be a proper 3 donkey race. I'm quite looking forward to it. I'm just disappointed that Morton have missed out on The Journey. Used to love taking a wee walk down to Cappielow when they played the huns. |

As someone else pointed out, surely the same could be said of this season though? The title race was, well, an actual title race in the Championship. The arrival of a a large bunch of pretty unpleasant supporters and some more crap players isn't going to make it suddenly a great league. Incidentally, any one know if there be would more TV coverage of the Championship if it included both Edinburgh sides and Rangers or would it still just be the huns' games on TV? |

That's taking it too far. I can guarantee one thing. A game between sevco & hearts or hibs or kilmarnock would certainly generate more posts on here than any non Celtic SPL match. |

No. Because we don't have a generic Dundee or Hamilton thread where people pore over every aspect of their club and support. |

They may well not come back at the first time of asking (although I would probably put them second behind Hearts next season). The appointment of an actual CEO (instead of an acting one who also happens to be the minority owner) is the best thing Hibs have done for a while, but giving her a blank canvas post-relegation to rebuild is likely to produce a far more robust and sustainable Hibs side than having her start with one which narrowly avoided relegation and therefore didn't ditch the players and staff responsible for getting them into that mess. Everyone in the organisation will be on her side, for a start. Personally I think Butcher is a good manager, but I'm aware of his record and admit it's open to question. Perhaps it would be best if he went too, given he bears a degree of blame for the mess they're in. But the point I was answering was the longer-term point about Hibs being necessary to the success of Scottish football, and I think Hibs have been crying out for a complete and pretty radical overhaul since they got their infrastructure sorted. Dempster will find that far easier and quicker to achieve if she has the stick of relegation to beat the current failures with. A season or two of Hibs in the championship isn't going to suddenly make Scottish football weak and uncompetitive, but could cause them to take the steps they need to reach their potential. |

I don't think anyone is saying it is going to be great. It will be interesting. I will be interested in it anyway, more than i normally would and the majority of folk on here are lying if they are saying they won't be keeping a closer eye on it next season than this. |

That's fair enough - I shouldn't have used the word 'great'. I can only speak for myself when I won't be paying any more notice than I did this season.Edit: effed up quoting Edited by arklys, 7 May 2014, 02:04 PM.

Just a pity Thistle aren't there as they would have been a handy vehicle to watch some games up close and dangerous. There'll be more comedy to be had as sevco will not steamroll the league as they did this season which will generate a lot of interest from here as well as how many 'honest mistakes' will be handed out to them in their times of need. If Hibs were to go down it's bad news for sevco so don't understand why these muppets want that to happen? |

apart from the destination of the Championship Title, the top League has been a cracker this season, with the fight for European places going to the wire, and the play-off place battle still not settled. |
