If they don’t pay up he stays. In January he becomes eligible to sign a pre contract with anyone for next season. If I was SJM agent I’d be telling him to sit tight let his contract run out and have the pick of clubs willing to pay him £25k a week as a free signing. By being a free agent his next contract could set him up for life

Yup and celtic Could then lose out the will be aware of that also

Say we accept £2m now instead of the £3m we are after. Celtic will know that in the future they can bully us with lowball offers which we will meekly accept.

So maybe we will miss out on £1.3m (after St Mirren's cut) here but it could see us get a fairer price when selling other players in the future.

I think you're dreaming.

So far the English clubs are nowhere to be seen. That surely suggests they're not that fussed?

Or Mcginn's agent has advised that his clients first choice is Celtic so hang fire bidding until they see if a deal can be struck between Hibs and Celtic.

IMO that's the likely scenario, no point Derby/Birmingham or whoever negotiating a deal now if McGinn would prefer a move to Celtic.

We wouldn’t be due one. It’s the club that brought him through and that’s it.

Good question but I don't think we'd be due any development fee as he wasn't with us during the ages of 11-19

Found the rule here actually

F25.2 A Development Contribution is not payable where the Player concerned has at any time been Registered as aProfessional Player to the Club otherwise entitled to payment of aDevelopment Contribution;

We paid a smallish dev fee and a promise of a percentage ( still unknown ) of any sale, if there isn't a sale at the end of his contract both us and St Mirren get nowt, remember they already got cash from us.

He was spotted watching the World Cup so he’s definitely cup tied

Not suggesting it does not go on but I think if the English clubs are interested they will deal direct with hibs and then try to persuade the player

I'd much prefer to see SJM move down south than to be coming back to Easter Road in another team's jersey on a regular basis, season after season.

Something that nobody has considered yet is if SJM and SA will be cup tied after playing for their respective clubs in Europe. Absolutely nobody has asked that question, have they? 🤔

















Sorry guys. Just wanted to jump on the bandwagon of repeat question🤣

I was going to ask, but I've become tongue tied.

He turns 24 in October so won't qualify for this by the time his contract ends next year.

Spot on. Feels good being able to trust the club in these situations nowadays.

When have we ever not been able trust the club to get us good money?

I'm loving this. It was the same when The Rangers we're sniffing around Scott Allan. We are no pushovers under Dempster. Pay up Celtic or do one.

We weren't pushovers under Petrie either?

Correct. LD has moved us on immeasurably but the tache always played hardball and got us the best deal too.

Not trying to hijack the thread, but JC showed real loyalty to us, and i'll always have a great deal of respect for him.

I trust the club more in these negotiation situations now that Dempster is at the helm. It's not just about getting good money, it includes not selling to direct rivals, being steadfast when necessary and also ensuring the club comes first - even if that means keeping an important player at a key stage but receiving less money as a result. Scott Allan and the Rangers, for example.

Yup. The guy is a Hibernian legend and done us a turn by signing a new deal after the cup win. I feel some people don’t appreciate him nearly enough.
