I'd be very surprised if he got a 2 year ban. I would like to keep Quinn in one sense, but finances will dictate and also unless we can move Huddlestone and Livermore, he'll still be playing second fiddle to them again.
I think you'll find the main reason McShane didn't sign a new contract, is because he wasn't offered one.
Teams bounce straight back up when they manage to keep the same squad in place. If they'll stay (and taking into account the need to balance the books), we should keep all the first team squad. Except Sagbo. Who's obviously going anyway. http://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/sagbo-declares-hull-departure-4078607
It's important we keep Chester, Dawson, McShane, Elmo, Brady, Diame, Snodgrass, Ince, Meyler, Quinn and Rosenior. I can see Davies, Robertson, Jelavic, Hernandez, N'Doye and Huddlestone leaving with Livermore being sacked. I'm not that bothered about Aluko or McGregor but I'd personally keep them both. I'd like to see our team next season look a bit like this: McGregor/new keeper Rosenior Chester Dawson Brady Elmohamady new midfielder Quinn Snodgrass Ince new striker
Wages will dictate a lot even with the relegation reduction clauses, Top earners have to go ie huddlestone and Livermore and probably hernandez those three alone would probably save £200k a week. Can't believe somebody suggested getting rid of Quinn and Meyler who will be on a sustainable wage and were quality for us in the championship last time. Id shift mcgregor out too to be honest regardless of the league the guy makes bad mistakes I think we could find a cheaper better alternative. Hows Oxley doing? In defence elmohamady could well be poached creates most of our chances and is a constant menace down the right teams will have noticed that. How's the irish lad who plays the same position been doing? Wonder if can poach trippier cheap from burnley. Will Brady stay? Think Robertson May well get bought, dawson to stay? Davies looks gone if the rumours are true but think we have an able deputy in Maguire who I think we come into his own next season after his loan spell, can we keep Chester? Bruce is handy to have around will do. Good job in the championship. Snodgrass owes us some gametime so think he will stay and is too good for the championship creativity from midfield as well as set pieces box ticked!!! Hopefully diame will choose to stay too. Quinn and Meyler are musts top end championship players despite being on the fringes in the premiership. Think bruce needs to pacify ince senior abit and secure ince junior for next season Jelavic will have plenty interested i think if he stayed were a massive shout to finish top 3 especially with snodgrass behind him, some alike i don't really rate id like us to release him as he's injured a lot and doesn't have much of an end product better alternatives elsewhere, hernandez will be sold, n,daye i havnt a clue looks lazy to me at times but would prob score plenty in the champ if he fancied it but probably falls into the higher wage category and will be fat that needs trimming
Didn't somebody on here saw Dawson told RH he wanted to stay and get the club back up? Robertson sounds as though he wants to stay o. Twitter.
David Burns @bbcburnsy 4m4 minutes ago I understand Jelavic, N'Doye and Hernandez have all already indicated they've no wish to soil their boots in the Championship. #hcafc
No surprise, I didn't expect them to remain with us, be interesting to see if Brucey can get it right next time.
Burnsy understands **** all **** stirring ****. That may come to pass but the info certainly wont be available yet and definitely not to him.
Philip Buckingham @PJBuckingham 2m2 minutes ago @bbcburnsy Gentleman's agreement with N'Doye. If they went down, he'd be allowed to leave in the right deal.

GK Rosie Macca Dawson Robbo Elmo Meyler Quinn Brady Aluko ST Would have kept us up this season. If we can keep that core, then it's an excellent Championship team. Shame Bruce (Snr) seems to be staying.
N'Doye - fair enough Jelvic - the Far East / MLS beckons Hernandez - tell me where he wants to go and i'll give him a piggy-back. About £18-20m of spend there that we will struggle to get £6-8m for.
So the players want to leave - their problem is - after the way they performed - they need to find a buyer (Jelavic will probably have no issues).
