If anyones struggling to whittle the hours away, Boyle’s team are in Champions League action just now live on the one football app.

He technically is in football terms. Probably similar to hearing Mctominay and stuff being called Scottish despite being English born

Goalie's made a few good saves to keep them ahead!

Apparently they have been relegated and may have to offload MB to cut their wage bill.

No idea about the implications for Boyle but they have definitely been relegated after they lost 2-1 to Al-Hilal yesterday, who won the title as a result.

[SlickShoes]

Bring him home!

[BILLYHIBS]

Is there not a 500k buy back clause or did I just make that up ? :greengrin

Cmon Ron pony up !

[Big_Franck]

Could be good news for us. Sell Doig and use the money to sign a quality left back and to bring Boyler home. Team would quite different then.

[hibbyfraelibby]

One for the B Team...

From the article I read:

His former club Hibernian reportedly has a buyback clause in his contract, giving them thee opportunity to match any transfer offer made for Boyle from any English club.

Usually I would think this would be unlikely but with his wife and child still in Edinburgh, it’s got to be in his mind about getting back home.

If there is any possibility Hibs should be doing everything they can go get him back at ER.

That’s rings a bell but not sure tbh.

[Heisenberg]

If he’s coming back to Scotland at any point I’m sure Aberdeen would be trying their best to get him again. We can’t compete with the cash they offer so hopefully he’d still choose to come back here.

You’d have to imagine we’d have to pay a fee that we simply wouldn’t pay unfortunately.

He’s only been there 6 months, I’d be stunned if they were willing to accept £500k or so which is probably about as high as we go fee wise.

No chance at all he's coming here. They aren't suddenly going go offload him for a price we can afford and we wouldn't be able to pay the wages he'd want, that's why he left.

[Sir David Gray]

The only teams who could currently afford him in Scotland are Celtic and Rangers.

He won't be giving up £20k a week in Saudi Arabia after 6 months. If he leaves them it will be to go to another team that also offers £20k a week.

"There's no other club in Scotland I'd rather be at"

Regrettably that does not mean he would not go to another club in Scotland.
If he moves on due to Al Faisaly’s relegation you would think that he may still be looking for the pretty decent wage packet that brought about his transfer, and that is not likely to be had coming back to Hibs 6 months after leaving.
But I know the square root of zero about football contracts, he may get a decent wedge from them for offloading him 30 months early. But I doubt he will be back at ER any time soon.

[Sir David Gray]

He's about to play in the World Cup so I would expect that clubs with more money than us will be interested if he becomes available.

£20/25K is fairly average pay for the lower end of the English prem and upper end of the championship.
Would it be realistic to imagine Boyle at a Fulham, Bournemouth or Norwich or should he be aiming higher?

[Blaster]

No imo. As good a player as I think he is he's not at yhe level of the English top flight

[Col2]

Given they are relegated they might want to loan him out for 6 months or so. We would need to fund a fair chunk of his wages so say £10k a week over 26 weeks.

We would be absolutely flying going into next season if he returned. Would give us so many new options at top end given other additions.

[darwenhibby]

Was the £3m upfront or instalments?
Could effect our budget if latter

Completely disagree. In my opinion you're either thinking EPL teams are better than they are, or massively undervaluing Martin Boyle.

I'm not saying he's a top class player, he's never good enough for the top teams in the EPL, but in teams like Southampton (where Armstrong and Adams play regularly), Bournemouth (Christie a regular for them) and Nottingham Forest who've just come up, for example. Boyle could easily play in those teams.

Agree.

Boyle could be a handy squad player for anybody in the bottom half, especially for a couple million. To be honest, I wouldn’t be surprised if he started for a lot of them.

Only if the club goes bust. Or, I suppose, they might offer us an appointment at a Saudi embassy…

[Lago]

In all honesty I don't think we'll see him back at Hibs period.

[neil7908]

He has a contract though and that is binding. Martin has all the power here and they can't make him to go anywhere if he doesn't want to.

They can of course make things hard for him to force him out, and I'd imagine that is easier in somewhere like Saudi Arabia where I doubt the law will give Martin much protection.

I think we will see Martin back at ER but its a bit soon. If this was happening even a year down the line then I could see him having made enough money to move back here but after only a few months it would be a tough one for him.

[dchibs]

In all honesty I don't think we'll see him back at Hibs period.

He might when he's 36.

Well yeah maybe then :greengrin

[Oscar T Grouch]

Given the circumstances I cannot see an immediate return of the Boyler :boo hoo: If he has to move then it will probably be to England to a team who can cover most of what Al Faisaly paid for him. Upper end of the Championship is probably where he will end up. If we see MB again, it will be nearer the end of his career. I hope I am wrong but I don't see him uprooting his life like he did just to come back to Scotland to earn roughly what he was on when he left 6 months ago. His footballing ability has not dropped off and he will expect his salary to stay high until it does.

[Just_Jimmy]

6 months at 20k he's banked just short of half a mill.

He can come back here for 6k a week plus bonuses. He's had a holiday, got half a mill and he'll be welcomed back like the messiah.

Don’t think they have any money worries

They average about 5000 a home game so it’s not as if relegation is going to put a serious dent in their income.

Obviously they are funded by rich benefactors.

I wouldn't say he uprooted his life. After a lot of deliberation his family decided to stay in Edinburgh in their family home. If he returns it would almost be like coming back from a long holiday away.

[Zambernardi1875]

Wouldn’t be surprised if he went to The A-league or another Asian club

No A League club would be able to afford the likely transfer fee.

However is his contract is cancelled and he is a free agent then that’s a different story and he could well end up here in Oz.

[sadtom]

I haven’t paid any attention to his results. Does anyone know if he has been playing well or is one of their better performers? Can’t imagine it will be very appealing playing in the 2nd tier over there.

There’s an old saying, ‘I’m not worried about the man with the scar. I’m worried about the man that gave him the scar’.
With that in mind should we not be trying to sign the winger from the team that won the league, not from the team that was relegated?

[Frazerbob]

Our obsession with signing ex-players is still strong I see. 🤣

[CapitalGreen]

That 2nd Saudi league is a massive drop off from the top division. There is much less foreign players and of those foreign players, very few are westerners. I’d be surprised if he returned to us so soon but I’d be equally surprised if he hangs around at his current club. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him move to another Saudi club or possibly elsewhere in the Middle East. It’s also highly likely that his contract will have included clauses that saw his salary reduce in the event of a relegation.

[Ronniekirk]

Did he not say when he was leaving that Hibs is the only club he would go to?

He did but it won’t be his call it will be down to whether Lee wants him back in the team and if we can afford what the fee would be
Pros We know what we are getting and he has played his best stuff with us and is proven scorer with pace to burn This would allow some of the younger players time to settle in in the B team and bring them off the bench when ready gradually exposing them to the rigours of first team football Uo here
Cons would that stifle young players development and Woukd we end up too reliant on him again which some fans felt was a problem at point he left

As part of the agreement, the Saudi Arabian club must notify Hibs if they ever intend to sell Boyle to another British team.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

His move was always a ludicrous one to one of the worst teams in a really low standard league, having been relegated to the second tier, it's inconceivable that this is where he will play next season. So the inevitable move back to UK won't be delayed any longer I suspect, though it won't be to Hibs. Has always amazed me that neither Celtic or Rangers fancied him under previous managers, maybe they will now. Most likely destination would be England IMO.

It was always all about the money he would make in Saudi. He will stick it out.

If you are made for life you can afford to take a moral stance :

Yeah true, it’s not often a league clubs pay high fees or none at all. Is that because of clubs not having funds or is there restrictions?

There are NO transfers between A League clubs.

They can however transfer players overseas.

Can’t think of any transfer fees that have been paid to attract players to Oz.

The compromise of less cash but a more attractive lifestyle might attract players to Australia. If he leaves SA, I wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up there.

This would be my guess as well, you would expect MB to get at least part of the full value of his contract paid up if it’s to get him off the wage bill, that could set him and his family up for a life in Oz, finish his career in A-League, unsure about citizenship like I’m assuming he’ll now have an Australian passport so his wife and kids will be fine too

Going on things the Boyles have said, they are very settled in Scotland. Does his dad even live in Australia? Pretty sure all family and friends are here. Other than playing for the national team, are there any ties there?

[Paul1642]

Can see him at Celtic

Not good enough for Celtic IMO. Would be a waste of signing purely to keep him away from another Scottish team which hasn’t been their signing strategy recently in way that they used to.

I worked in Kuwait for 6months many years ago and was bored stiff the whole time. Got good money but nothing to spend it on. Had to fly to Bahrain
for a weekend to blow the tubes (bevvy, discos etc available there). Entertainment in Kuwait? Smokey and the Bandit on at the drive-in cinema....yippee!

I'm not relating to his earnings, just that no matter how much you earn there is nowt to spend it on. You can be just as cheesed off night after night with 1m in the bank as I was with my salary. Saudi is similar to Kuwait in that you can't find alcohol unless you befriend a Saudi/Kuwaiti national who are above the law and get invited to their home. I even attended a dry Asian wedding wedding in the faint hope of a swally but no joy. Even if you only drink moderately you won't enjoy events/occasions on a regular basis.
I realise that sitting in at night looking at your online bank account is enough incentive to go to these places but the time goes by soooo slowly.

No.

Westerners who work over there often brew their own homemade alcohol in their compounds but it's not officially allowed to consume alcohol anywhere in Saudi Arabia.

Martin is an Aussie citizen, in fact it was a poster in here that signed his paperwork when he applied for citizenship.
I can certainly see him finishing career in the A-league, but I think that will be 4-5 years down the line

If he hadn’t, he would not have played for Oz, not have been noticed in Saudis Arabia, and probably not have left Hibs.

Lots of travel blogs out there showcasing life in Saudi, things to see and do and how western perceptions are fairly wide of the truth.
Don't know where Martins club is based but being such a wealthy economy has made the main population centres really cool, modern and exciting places to experience.

He's not really separated for longer than a few days during the week/between games. He gets to fly back pretty regularly im sure he said in an interview. Might be wrong there but sure I seen somewhere that he'll get to go back plenty.

Doubt it'll be an issue with the money he's on as well, it's n a 6h flight to London so not like he'd be travelling for days at a time either.

How frequently? Doubt it’s weekly, I wouldn’t want to be away from my family for several weeks at a time.

And if it’s weekly, that’s an unbelievable grind. I used to commute from Edinburgh to London every week and it took its toll. Let alone Saudi Arabia.

Loads of people work away from their families eg the rigs or army.

Difference is with his money he'll be able to fly back regularly and Rachel puts on social media her going over regularly.

The biggest difference is, him working there for a couple of years means him and his family won't have to work after football. He'll spend as much time as he wants after that. All of us would do it if we had the chance, good luck to him.

Buy 24 cans of non alcoholic beer.
Put 20 cans into large demi john/container.
Put remaining cans plus 2 kilos of sugar in a pot and heat till sugar dissolves.
Pour into container with the 20 cans and add 2 teaspoons of yeast (bakers yeast sold everywhere)
2 weeks later siphon out your beer, leaving the dregs.
Everybody in Saudi can have a beer, it's alarmingly simple.
You get well paid to counteract the boredom of the place, thousands of folk manage it and I imagine Martin will manage just fine, with or without the beer.

I’m not a lager drinker, but I remember it was really popular and a ‘go to’ for a lot of folk. It’s maybe a ‘fashion’ thing now to not like it, even although it’s still a good lager. A bit like the trend to like Chardonnay wine till it went out of fashion. It’s still a good wine and underrated because of trends. I prefer Sauvignon Blanc, but really enjoy a Chardonnay on the odd occasion.
