    Undisclosed Fee

    Can someone explain why the JM fee was undisclosed (and why any transfer fee is noted as undisclosed?)

    Personally I would like to know the outcome of this particular transfer deal. It would be good to know, what transfer fee will be recieved, what add ons may fall due to Hibs (sell on fees, promotion bonuses etc) and how much will go to St Mirren.

    I'd also like to know, how much the manager may expect to receive toward the player budget.

    I feel a bit in the dark with this one.

    Undisclosed so other teams, whom me may wish to buy players from, don't know how much we have to spend.

    It wouldn’t make sense to let other clubs know how much we might have to spend

    Said the exact same thing on Thursday night at the game. The fans should be told what our best player was sold for imo.

    Makes you wonder if it’s like Cummings where they get sold for less than the fans would be happy with if they knew the actual transfer fee.

    Hibs have to tell St Mirren how much the fee was, and I think somebody there has already let slip to the press.

    Not having a go at you, but why then are all deals not undisclosed

    What’s been said? Stubbs was on sportsound tonight, but said he didn’t know the structure of the deal

    Some teams want their fans to know if they're splashing cash, or receive a good fee.

    Get your point, but it’s all relative

    I know that’s the reason but they have a pretty good ballpark idea of the amount he will have been sold for so knowing the exact amount is neither here nor there.

    From a history of clubs stating what they paid and what they received most businesses these days make any commercial transaction commercially confidential. So long as they pay the correct taxes there's nothing wrong. What difference does it make if the outcome is many of the fans complaining it's not enough whatever that fee is. The fee may have been a part of the players contract.

    I realise it might be rubbish but a number of papers (including the Herald) are reporting that St Mirren have received just under 1 million as their part of the deal.

    So much for transparency in football. I know it’s commercially sensitive information but what will happen if fan ownership ever becomes a reality

    Neil Lennon said in his post match interview on BBC on Thursday that they (Molde) have sold their best player for £9m and we got "£3-£4m" for ours.

    I’ve see figures raining from £2.1m to £4m, £2m add on if Villa get promoted, sell on fees etc. Don’t think anyone knows the structure of the deal.

    Hibs would be mad to disclose it when we’re actively trying to recruit.

    It's the sell on and bonus for promotion, if there are any, that would be interesting

    Good question but you won't get the answer.

    I can't remember the last time Hibs disclosed a transfer fee, in or out.

    Wouldn’t make any business sense for Hibs to tell everybody how much we got.

    Clubs that announce fees are usually the clubs to whom money is irrelevant.

    Or clubs who are never going to spend it on players. Hamilton, for example, would probably let a big fee be known as it would be ploughed back into their youth system.

    To be honest IMO, in this day and age and for transparency all transfer fees should be declared, whether it involves us, Man Utd or Cowdenbeath. I understand the reasoning for not doing so just dont agree with it.

    Would be an incredible gesture from him, but not unlike him, as he seems to be a classy person

    Dont believe that we are keeping it quiet so other teams don’t know how much we have. The player will know and more importantly so will the agent. Agents talk and if a club wanted to know I am pretty sure they could get the info from them.

    The player won't necessarily know. The deal is between the 2 clubs, and it's up to them whether the details of that deal are shared.

    Totally Agree.. imagine Tesco or asda for example Buying the Rights to Call us the Tesco / asda Stadium..

    Petrie or LD saying - undisclosed fee !!! The fans would go radio rental...
