Sorry, but your argument doesn't hold water, the details are private and we need to assume the board got the best deal for the club.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Is it any different to asking your local pub to give you details of a financial transaction?
After all as a customer, you fund them and without customers they would cease to exist.

Stewart Gilmore (ex St. Mirren Chairman) has stated that the fee they (St.M) received for the SJM transfer was the highest transfer fee St Mirren have ever received. Remember, St Mirren sold Iain Ferguson to Rangers for £1m in the Souness era so based on the widely quoted 30% - 33% “sell on” clause, I think it’s fair to assume the total initial fee paid by AV was between £3.5m - £4m.
I can fully understand why all clubs involved (us, St.M & AV) would prefer to stick to the “undisclosed fee” arrangement and whilst we fans would prefer to know exactly how the deal was done and how much we received, the more important thing for us is how the funds are spent once received.
If they disappear into an accounts black hole and we never really see an obvious benefit to the playing side of the club then we would be rightly p****d off. however, if we sign one or two quality players for decent fees and see the new indoor pitch created at East Mains then I’m sure none of us will be particularly concerned with the exact details of the amount received for SJM.Last edited by cappoquinboy; 11-08-2018 at 07:30 AM.

As for not disclosing how much we got for SJM so that other clubs know how much we have to spend, you dont have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure the fee is close to £4 million.
Incidently Villas average wage is between £20k and 25K a week (easily found with a bit of research online). Not that in my original post I mentioned anything about a players earnings.

As has been said, it's really not good business for others to know what we've gained from this.
You constantly post negatives about Hibs, I think I know why.

Again the market we deal in all clubs we wish to buy from know we got a fee for SJM. They will know it was over £1m. If they want 200k for a player they might now want £250k from us as they know we have money knowing it is £1m or £100m will not IMO change how much a club might try to add on. W

It's far more likely you'll find the correct fee on twitter. The newspaper hacks don't get told anything these days so likely that it's been quietly released on twitter by someone without the fanfare. Hibs wanted a set fee and my guess would be £2.5m after St Mirrens cut. That would tie in with sjm getting a £350,000 signing on fee, which would be paid by Aston villa as part of his wages as 10% of the transfer fee. So lennys saying it was between £3-4 m is correct. The fee was £3.5m and we got £2.5m.Also ties in with us flatly rejecting celtic offer of £2m which was £1.5m below our valuation. Lawell played a blinder btw. Lol. 10% sell on fee seems to standard now and isn't a charge to villa at the moment. There you are. Sorted. We'll almost. Lol.

As a fan I'm curious to know what fee we got for McGinn.
As a shareholder I'm fully in agreement with the club not making the fee public.
There's plenty of speculation out there, so some rumours will be closer to the mark than others. But I won't be relying on any of them to be right because it is all speculation unless it comes from either Hibs or Villa.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

Too many folk on here obsessed over it and the potential for meltdown was huge - people with unrealistic ambitions and a lot of false comparisons using overly inflated markets like the EPL.
Assuming the club isn't put in financial difficulties the only thing anyone on here should be concerned about is what players we have to put out on the park.

The house seller can't extract more from the buyer, regardless of how wealthy they are.
