As an.aside, this argument is not solely directed at you. It's also for those out there, Jambos or otherwise, who have the idea that STF is reliant on transfer income.

Pretty simple problem we have up here..Wages..
What is the average weekly pay at Hibs? 1k 2k more? I would say we are paying some folk around 2k p/w. Boyce would be on what at County not a lot I would imagine. A club like Burton Albion come in probably able to offer 5,6k pw? That is a massive change in life, huge.
Players up here are generally on wages pretty easily dwarfed by clubs even in tier 2 of England hence why once a player gets interest from down south they know its a life changer as an extra 3/4k pw for guys on 2k pw is massive.
Your Harry Kanes etc if bidded can look at the club interested before the wages as already on so much per week likely cannot spend it. Boyce was probably offered a wage well above what he was on probaby not astronomical but a massive change for him and family.
No idea on soloution but if clubs up here could pay more p/w we would retain some decent players and more importantly be able to knock back bids for players as they may not want to rush off if wage offered isnt a huge difference.

Seems like a smart move for the guy - who, let's be honest, we were completely unaware of until very, very recently.

It almost seems to have become a Net " Fact " that we were, at a minimum, interested in Boyce but can't compete on wages with the likes of Burton.
1. There is no evidence we were ever interested, minor paper talk only.
2. When Pat Fenlon was looking at Boyce for Hibs the majority on here IIRC, didn't think he'd be good enough!
3. We've signed players in the recent past, Stokes & Liam Miller for example, who could have commanded far higher wages in England than we could pay but they came to ER. Hibs are an attractive option playing in a great location in which to live & work. I would suggest that if we were really interested in LB then we could have made him & RC a competitive offer.
4. The transfer fee is undisclosed, per some on here that means RC have been fleeced. Seriously it's announced as a record fee but that only means it's higher than the £250k Burton paid for Jackson Irvine. Incidentally I believe the success of Irvine at BA was a key factor in them taking a chance on Boyce.
5. I believe we've been paid at least 3 times the LB transfer fee for a player who scored less goals in a league a tier below LB. JC has also been transferred to a much bigger & higher profile club & FWIW I believe he'll be the better buy.
I'm really not concerned re LB joining Burton but we really do need a minimum of 2 new strikers before season start up now.

Ever heard of inflation? £41k now will be worth a good bit more than it will be in 8 years time.That's what makes it such a good deal for Hibs.

Our do you budget for your bills and use whatever is left to fund the rest of your life? You know, like Hibs are doing.

I get the feeling that unless folk say what you want to hear the you push a subject to the limit.
We have a deal an interest free deal that won't break the bank but will allow is to have some extra cash to spend!!
Yes we all want the debt paid off but why o why would we let the team budget be blown on paying back money when there is already an agreement in place.
It has taken us years to get to the position we are in so why throw it all away! Yes we have sold JC however there is money there for the right quality of player (s)
Do you actually get what folk are saying??

The less debt the better...but thats just the way i live. By 45 i will be as debt free as possible. A bit of hard work now goes a long way later!
If Hibs clear their debt asap then there is no millstone round their neck! Thats in my ideal Hibs world though.
I hope that answers your question ;-)

Burton Albion can out bid anybody in Scottish football excluding Celtic and Sevco (who Boyce was never going to sign for)..what a depressing situation.
