Hull City sealed their Championship survival on Saturday with a 1-1 draw at Portsmouth, while condemning Luton Town to relegation along with Plymouth Argyle and Cardiff City.
Once the dust settles on what has been a tremendously difficult season, attention will need to quickly turn to bringing in the players capable of ensuring City do not find themselves in a similar position next season.
The Tigers have gone through a huge amount of change in the past 12 months with two managers being sacked, and more than 20 players coming in, while a flurry of major injuries have not helped their cause.
Between now and the start of the new season in August, City‘s hierarchy will need to carry out some serious remedial work to ensure they start pre-season in a better place than they did 12 months ago when Tim Walter began his job with a skeleton squad.
Here’s a look at who will be arriving for the start of pre-season training as it stands….
