Fantastic prospect who time and again delivered.

A lot of pressure was on him to get it done and he performed so well with this. In many ways his best performances were given in the very biggest games.

Thanks Jase!!

Also like the tone of the statement. Now if only the team across the city could command such player loyalty :P

If we're just going to pluck figures out our ar** then £1.5m is decent money. Unlike over the road transfer income will be used to strengthen our squad. Onwards and upwards.

Gutted but not surprised.

I wish him all the best down there although I wish he didn't have Warburton as a manager.

I personally think he's going too early in his career but that's the way football is nowadays.

It's a crucial time for us now. Having just announced a record number of season ticket holders for next season we need to ensure that he's adequately replaced or we will struggle to add to that number.

Good luck Jason and thanks for the memories.

Hibernian legend.

The statement screams to me "we got something, which is better than nothing. The sum is low enough that you lot would probably have a riot if we told you, so we won't. In truth it doesn't reflect the player's true worth but what could we do? We're just happy to be promoted, to have had his goals and to at least have got something for him".

Which is entirely reasonable.

Absolutely right. I totally understand the club's position but really disappointing to get so much less than Jase is worth.

Clearly we had to keep him to ensure promotion but it meant losing out on a bigger fee for him. Pretty galling.

Let's just say his agent will be rather comfortable right now. Jason too.

What do you want me to say- Im chuffed we got alot less for him than we could have if his contract situation had been different.

PeeJay
17-06-2017, 11:19 AM
It'll be interesting to see how he develops as a footballer away from Easter Road and in a tougher league than the Championship - didn't rate him too highly myself as I find his development at Easter Road was pretty sluggish for some reason - he has some obvious talent though, so maybe with better coaching he will progress faster? Good luck to him.

I reckon it's 500k and one of his mates I work with was telling truth, I got shot down last week on here. I even said it would be announced as undisclosed. Why would hibs make it clear what lasts years offer was ? But not this one ? Sadly hibs are doing clever way of making it undisclosed and saying things like "significant fee" to pull wool over our eyes. They have cocked up in receiving less than they should. IMO

Pretty much every transfer in the world goes through as officially "undisclosed" you saying it would go through as undisclosed is like me saying that I told everyone hibs home kits going to be green this season then bragging that I got it right

Totally.

To be fair, if we released a young Hibs supporting striker who went on to sign for them and he consistently scored against us, knocked us out the Scottish Cup TWICE, went on to win the Scottish Cup with them before earning them a 7 figure sum I'd be a bitter, jealous prick as well :greengrin

Can you tell me the last time we disclosed a fee, either incoming or outgoing? It's always just newspaper speculation or the info comes from the other club, as with SJM. It was always long odds on the fee would be undisclosed, that in itself is meaningless.

every media source both in Scotland and Nottingham has been saying it's 7 figure fee. Kenny Millar who is 99% spot on with Hibs related news says it's a 7 figure fee. underscore on here who is known to be a poster with great contacts involved with the club says it's a 7 figure fee.

But if you want to believe someone that says it's 500k because they know someone in their work who apparently is pals with JC then feel free..

He is wrong due to the fact that Jason's Dad has no idea what the financial agreement is between Hibs and Notts Forest. Assuming he has been telling people these stories then HE is guessing. Its more likely that the guy hasn't said a word.

So what do you know? He is backing up why he thinks he is right, everyone else is saying stuff without backing up why they have formed their opinion.

Most people are going by the sports press reporting a '7 figure bid'. £500K isn't 7 figures and for all their faults the rags are normally not far off when it comes to Hibs transfer stuff. We aren't important enough to justify making stuff up.

That's more reliable than 'Jasons Dad discussed his sons personal business and disclosed details that may be confidential to my mate'.

I saw JCs Dad walking his dog last night and he had a pair of Levi 501s on. Clearly a subliminal message that we got £501K for him.

Oh no wait, I just made that up.

every media source both in Scotland and Nottingham has been saying it's 7 figure fee. Kenny Millar who is 99% spot on with Hibs related news says it's a 7 figure fee. underscore on here who is known to be a poster with great contacts involved with the club says it's a 7 figure fee.

But if you want to believe someone that says it's 500k because they know someone in their work who apparently is pals with JC then feel free..

Now that is a fair enough comment. Basically what I was asking the rest to do rather than say wrong without anything to back up.

17-06-2017, 11:53 AM
If we got anything between 500k - 1m then it's a great bit of business for us.

Cost us nothing, helped us win the Cup and Promotion, scored a few against Hearts and now brings in some cash.

Time to move on and get a better replacement in which I completely trust Lennon to do.

Sorry to see him go, great finisher and hopefully for him he can progress well and earn a bigger move in future.

Seemed determined to help get us back up and has achieved that, gave us all some great memories along the way.

Picking him up after Hearts pretty much shafted him has turned out to be a great move for both him and us. I've no problem with him going, he repaid us in goals and by signing the extension that has now brought us a decent fee.

All the best at Forest Jason, hope somehow you succeed whilst warburton fails : )

That doesn't make any sense. Cummings signed a new contract in July 2016 and we rejected a bid from Peterborough of about £1.7m in August 2016. If the release clause was anywhere near 500k YTF would Peterborough bid 3 times that amount, and how could we have rejected it?

The release clause could have a time stamp on it.

i.e. by signing Jason knew he was committing to a year and we would not sell but also know that 1/6/17 the release clause would be £500k

I can see why we did this and he probably wouldnt have stayed without such a deal. I just hope there is a sell on clause as well

500k is just drivel, never heard a club rejecting a 1.7m (instalments included) to then verbally agree the player can leave for a 1/3 of that value next season just to keep him.

So let me get this straight:
Player has longer contract
Another season scoring 20+ goals
Added set pieces to his game
Had a bid rejected worth 1.7m for him when he had 1 year left on his contract...

But goes for 500k

Club will have got decent cash, we move on, these Hearts fan or saboteurs should just get lost to be honest.

17-06-2017, 12:29 PM

17-06-2017, 12:30 PM
I reckon it's 500k and one of his mates I work with was telling truth, I got shot down last week on here. I even said it would be announced as undisclosed. Why would hibs make it clear what lasts years offer was ? But not this one ? Sadly hibs are doing clever way of making it undisclosed and saying things like "significant fee" to pull wool over our eyes. They have cocked up in receiving less than they should. IMO

Kenny Millar - usually spot on, states it's 7 figures.
Nottingham post - states £1.8 million.
Multiple other papers - state between £1 and 1.4 million (some mention a sell on fee).

Think I will put my faith in those figures. Somewhere in your chain of information there is someone of a maroon persuasion trying to stir it, but I'm sure you already know that.

Sorry to see him go, but good business for us. No point trying to keep a player who is set on leaving. As Leeann says, if he had not signed the contract last summer he could have left for nothing this summer, plus the disruption signing a pre contract might have caused. I think as per usual under our new regime we will have come out of it with the best possible deal.

Now we move on and sign some more strikers.

Hardest position on the pitch to find a replacement for so will be interesting to see what Lennon does. He will probably have to go for multiple players rather than a single replacement to fill the goal gap. That may work well but there is something about a talisman striker particularly in big games. The press release indicates we got a fee considerably less than offered last year but the reasons stated are what we have all been asking the club to do for years - put footballing ambition first.

Good luck to Jason, I think he has the skill, determination and most importantly the attitude to do very well down south. A cup winning legend who leaves with lots of positive memories and a couple of medals. Not bad for a Hearts reject.

Dinnae let facts get in the way of a hysterical outburst, eh?

He signed a contract last summer in the certain knowledge that he was offski if we got promotion.

Thats called a deal that suits both sides.

He could also have walked then or in January, and we would have been screwed. He didnt (remember, Lennon talked to him in France?).

Reject 1.7-1.8m to create interest and bump up his price whilst he signs an extended contract.

Undisclosed whilst selling means club remain professional and there is nothing to gain after the money.

Find it remarkable that people find it suspicious that Hibs are not disclosing the value after he's sold. Can I ask those that find this strange, why would they? If we sold him for £200m why would club reveal that? If we sold him for a pack of cigarettes why would club reveal that?

Its hard to believe which stories to believe regarding the fee, but most of the media including the Nottingham papers are quoting in excess of a million quid so that seems most likely. However, I'm also hearing differing stories regarding how much is in the Tynecastle cash cow and that it will also eventually be given as an undisclosed amount :greengrin

That looping header one , when all you Could from the library was the sound of there bottle crashing

To think the Hertz could have stopped us winning the Scottish Cup right there at Tiny.

They didn't and the rest is history with legends born on the 21st May 2016.

Haven't been this gutted about losing a player in a long, long time!

Absolutely loved JC! We're really going to miss him and hope it doesn't effect the dressing room too much as well. The players always talk about how great he is and how infectious his patter was.

Good luck! And I really hope he kicks on from this and proves how good he really is!

The statement screams to me "we got something, which is better than nothing. The sum is low enough that you lot would probably have a riot if we told you, so we won't. In truth it doesn't reflect the player's true worth but what could we do? We're just happy to be promoted, to have had his goals and to at least have got something for him".

Which is entirely reasonable.

Agree with most of this but the club should have been honest and said we got xxxx amount for him as it was part of his contract he signed last year. It's a bit disingenuous of Hibs not to be transparent on this.

Actually that's exactly how I read Leeann's statement in that we did not get much for him. I also thought the statement was quite honest and open. She made quite clear to me that they had worked hard to keep him and that his agent was heavily involved in the new contract. At the end of the day he will have looked after his career and income.

I reckon it's 500k and one of his mates I work with was telling truth, I got shot down last week on here. I even said it would be announced as undisclosed. Why would hibs make it clear what lasts years offer was ? But not this one ? Sadly hibs are doing clever way of making it undisclosed and saying things like "significant fee" to pull wool over our eyes. They have cocked up in receiving less than they should. IMO


Dearie me

Out in force today I see

Jealous are we because we got him from you clowns and made him into a far better player and received a seven figure sum for him

The Leith Dutch
17-06-2017, 01:49 PM
So what you're saying is there are a number of different sources that differ by an amount of 800k. What exactly is it that you're putting your faith in then? You don't know what the figure is just as much as I or the poster you're accusing of being a jambo.

But the massive difference there is he's quoting sources all of which consistently are in the 7 figure category (which is a broadly acceptable figure) rather than £500k which is a figure that to the casual observer looks like **** stirring by a puddle drinker.

Big difference between not knowing the exact fee and making up information to go on the wind up.

She said "The club has secured a significant sum" So how do you think that means she is saying we did not get much for him???

Wow. That's a really daft question.

Last year's offer was an offer the club refused and that alone would mean it merits different treatment to an offer we accepted.

In publicising the amount of this (or any) offer the club refuses we will be looking to do a number of things - show the supporters we're keen to retain talent over money, make it clear to other clubs that we value a player above a certain range, make a statement about the size of the club and probably a few other things.

There is little or no value to the club in publicising an amount we did accept. It's either more than we want people to know we just banked or less than some people think JC was worth. At best it says something about how big we think the club is but I reckon that wouldn't be worth the prices of all our targets getting bumped up.

As for the cocked up bit.
If you think your opinion on how to run a football club trumps Dempster's then you really don't have a clue what you're talking about.

SanFranHibs
17-06-2017, 02:04 PM
Isn't it great how some people just pick numbers out the air and state them as fact.
Maybe it's undisclosed as we don't want other teams knowing that we've got £5million to play with 😎

Not agreeing with the 500k, but does the above not apply equally to the oft quoted £1.3m? I don't believe the 500k and frankly would be stunned if it were true.

Anyhow, good luck to JC. Thanks for the memories and particularly the goals against them.

17-06-2017, 02:06 PM
Genuine question to those who know more about contractual matters than I do:

Would it not be the case that JC (and therefore by extension his Dad and any assorted canines) would only have visibility into their own contract and not the details of the sale which would be known only to HFC and NFFC?

I can see he may know a release clause value that's in his own contract but wouldn't the sale value be something he wasn't aware of?

Best of luck to Jason. Broke onto the scene just before our darkest days and then helped grab the club by the whats its and drag us up to heights most of us could only dream of.

All his goals against the Huns - touch of an angel.
His looping header at the PBS in the SCQ with 10 to go, then the winner in the replay.
His outrageous dinked pen miss at Hampeden in the Cup semi, then the balls to score the winner in the shootout.
The lad could write a book ... but will have to make do meantime with Scottish Cup Winning Legend and Championship winner.

We will sorely miss his gallus nature and outrageous confidence, as well as all his goals.

Consider the worst case scenarios.

Even if the clause was £500k (which I doubt), that's £500k more than we would've got if he had walked out at the end of his last contract. I know which option I would have chosen.

Even if the money, be it £500k or £1.7million, goes straight into Tom Farmers pocket then so what? We owe him money and it's very Hearts to not even consider paying someone what you owe, interest free or not. We're going to be paying it anyway so what's the difference?

We don't need to pay someone £10k and shell out a transfer fee to find someone to bang in the goals.

Cummings (or Farmer for that matter) owe us nothing. Jason's wages alone were value for the goals, entertainment and camaraderie he's given us and he would still have been worth it on a pay as you go deal.
He's a cup-winning, Heart-breaking legend and I wish him all the best.

Not really buying that tbh, we are not going to spend over £1m on a player most clubs we buy from will know we got a fair chunk in so for me its irrelevant in us going forward if everyone knows how much we got. Boyce would be the only player IMO we might spend a lot on and he apparently has a release clause. If we wanted a player who was valued at 100k or more likely market the selling club know we got a fair bit more for JC so if its getting bumped up it will regardless.

Losing one of your best players band the only real goal scoring threat in the side should mean a decent amount of the dosh goes back into the team. We“ve had a long spell at Hibs where we invested in infrastructure. Now is the time to carry on the rebuilding of the football team on the park.

Indeed, and the cash probably will go into player recruitment.

My point was that even in the "worst case" scenarios we're still in a good place.
