No consideration is given to points accumulated, games won, or goals scored.
Based purely on League position since The Football League's.
inauguration (1888) these are the top 50 Clubs.

The League champions are awarded 92 League pts, runners-up 91, etc
and the bottom team in League 2/Div 4 get 1 point.
(Between 1924 and 1950, there were only 88 Clubs in the League,
and so the League champions get 88 League pts.)
Between 1888 (12 Clubs) and 1923 (86 Clubs) there were varying
nos of League members. The Champs get 12 pts (for example) for
winning the 1888-89 season,
When there were 2 Division 3s (North & South), the winners would have
each received 49 pts, whilst the runners-up both got 47.

So the best Scot Prem position attained by Hibs in a very long time and we'll take the prize money - very welcome during tough times!! However, I'm not fooled by this achievement and regard the general standard of the Scot Prem to have dropped significantly this season. AFC's demise is Hibs gain but IMO we need to strengthen up and try to "hit" another level where we can perform far better than we have and esp in "big games", cup ties etc where we have reached such challenges but failed miserably far too often. Hibs also have to negotiate some Euro quali footie matches in July. They are different matches of interest that will attract Hibs fans. However, I personally regard these matches as a hindrance and they can adversely affect our progress in the Scot Prem as observed previously happening to most Scot Prem sides that get embroiled in this kinda Euro footie campaign. Hibs management will argue that it gives the players a bit of experience of Euro footie in the quest to try to be a regular participant at this level in years to come. I just don't think Hibs are resourced for this kinda commitment TBH! It looks like transfer offers could well be coming in for Porteous, Nisbet, Doig and Boyly. All we can do is see how it all unfolds and what damage is done to the team in the process. Rocky leaving and well done to him for giving us such loyal service for a good number of seasons. But Macey looks like a solid acquisition for Hibs. Dabrowski likely to be the back up goalie after progressing through the youth ranks. Leigh Griffiths imminent "return to the fold" will certainly give many Hibs fans a huge lift in the quest to see more goals being scored next season. Also as commented in another thread, I'd like to see Hibs make a move for Saint Johnstone's captain, Jason Kerr - like Sparky, a Hibs fan with a staunch Hibs family! I'd take McCart as well but realistically don't see it happening. A move for Morton's experienced CB, Fjortoft, would be a really cute piece of biz - very impressed with this lad and I reckon he can play at a higher level plus we'll get him with a reasonable financial outlay. There are clearly other transfer dealings to be made and a "driving midfield player" would be high up on my priority list as well - not an easy one to find btw but remember how we picked up John McGinn by pure chance. Also players like Wright and Murphy to offload - not good enough! WE NEED TO STRENGTHEN - IT IS ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE AND I JUST HOPE RON GORDON IS "ON BOARD" WITH THIS EXTENSIVE TRANSFER ACTIVITY.

Walsall have appointed former Bolton and Portsmouth midfielder Matthew Taylor as their new head coach.

The 39-year-old will join on 1 June from Tottenham, where he has been in charge of the Under-18 side.

Taylor, who also played for West Ham and Luton in a career spanning 658 league games, has previously worked as a player-coach at Swindon.

"In football and life, a lot of it is about timing and in my opinion it's very good timing," he said.

"The club, the owner and the technical director want the opportunity to bring success back to Walsall Football Club and I hope I can be part of that."

Former Blackpool manager Neil McDonald will join as Taylor's assistant, having been a coach at West Ham while Taylor played for the Hammers.

Taylor takes over from Brian Dutton, who was let go by Walsall earlier this month after the club could only finish 19th in League Two this season.

"Matthew is young, ambitious and successful and I am delighted that we have been able to attract him to leave Tottenham Hotspur to become our head coach," said Saddlers chairman Leigh Pomlett.

"I do not want more of the same and I am looking for a significant shake-up of the club and believe this is the right team to do it."

Reality television star Mark Wright has been released by Crawley Town as one of six players to leave the club.

The 34-year-old full-back, best known for appearing on ITV's The Only Way Is Essex, joined the League Two side in December and made two appearances.

Ex-Tottenham trainee Wright made his professional debut as a substitute in Crawley's shock FA Cup win over Leeds.

He made his only start in their league defeat by Harrogate in February but was taken off at half-time.

Meanwhile, Crawley are in contract negotiations with 42-year-old midfielder Dannie Bulman, who is the oldest current player in the English Football League and made nine appearances this season.

Striker Tom Nichols and long-serving goalkeeper Glenn Morris are among five players to have one-year contract extensions triggered by the club.

Former Gillingham keeper Stuart Nelson and defender Joe McNerney - who played 140 times for the Reds - join Wright in being released.

John Yems' side finished 12th in League Two this season.

Crawley retained list
Released: Tarryn Allarakhia, Josh Doherty, Joe McNerney, Stuart Nelson, David Sesay, Mark Wright

Club took option on extending contract: Ricardo German, Glenn Morris, Tom Nichols, Jack Powell, Jordan Tunnicliffe

In negotiations: Dannie Bulman

Southend United centre-back John White is to have a testimonial after signing a new one-year contract with the club.

The former Colchester defender, 34, has made 266 appearances for the Shrimpers, who were relegated from League Two this season, since joining in 2013.

White's testimonial game will be played at the end of the 2021-22 campaign.

"It's a huge honour to be able to get that and it's not something that I ever pictured in my head," White told the Southend website.

Manager Phil Brown has released eight players - including veteran midfielder Alan McCormack - while goalkeeper Mark Oxley, full-back Elvis Bwomono, midfielder Timothee Dieng and winger Ricky Holmes are among the other players who have been offered new deals.

Ex-Portsmouth and Nottingham Forest utility man Greg Halford will also have discussions over his future.

Southend retained list
Under contract: John White, Nathan Ferguson, Harry Phillips, Lewis Gard, Miles Mitchell-Nelson, Eren Kinali, Simeon Akinola, Ashley Nathaniel-George, Louis Walsh

Club took option on extending contract: Reiss Chandler (turning professional), Jon Benton, Tom Clifford, Terrell Egbri, Rob Howard, Matt Rush, Harry Seaden, O'Shane Stewart

In negotiations: Greg Halford

Released: Emile Acquah, Brandon Goodship, Harry Kyprianou, Alan McCormack, Jacob Mellis, Richard Taylor, Michael Klass, Ide Osimeh

Promoted Cambridge United have released keeper Callum Burton and offered new deals to 10 players, including League Two player of the year Paul Mullin.

Burton, 24, was the U's first-choice goalkeeper in the second half of the season, playing 33 times in all.

Ex-Tranmere and Morecambe striker Mullin, 26, scored 34 goals this season as Mark Bonner's side finished second.

Full-back Kyle Knoyle and midfielder Paul Digby are among the other out-of-contract players offered fresh terms.

Meanwhile, discussions over the future of former Republic of Ireland playmaker Wes Hoolahan, 38, "remain ongoing", with midfielder Adam May having an option on his contract triggered and defender Leon Davies signing a six-month deal.

Cambridge United retained list
Under contract: Kai McKenzie-Lyle, Jack Iredale, Tom Dickens, Lewis Simper, Joe Ironside, Harvey Knibbs

Club took option on extending contract: Adam May

The odd one out is Cooper if Swansea don’t get promoted, they would still want compensation as he has a year left on contract, that’s if he wants the job. I also think Palace will be looking at him.

thirdly to all those fans supporters and general annoying little barstewerds that have finally got their wishes in getting rid of him.
