It seems that it's fine to take Saudi money - but not to take Glasgow money!Quote:

Interesting Boyle talking about coming back, if we’ll have him, when he’s just left. If Rachel staying, as reported, will be hard for Boyle out there. Anyone know the length of his contract for them?Quote:

Don’t think he’ll be too fussed. Don’t think he’s going for the quality of football.Quote:

He'll be back.
So we get first option to buy him back, can see him being out there for a year and then coming back
Superb from Hibs that.Quote:

Could we afford him?Quote:

30 isn’t old these days man 😂 always laugh at these comments as if players are done and over the hill when they hit 30Quote:

Who’s to say it’s a big transfer fee? Too many variables to suggest that at this stage, let’s see how it pans out.Quote:

He's going out there to work and secure his financial future not to enjoy the bants. He won't be as happy as he was at Hibs, but he'll know that. He's got his international career to fall back on and the conditioning he'll get from being in SA will stand him in good stead for Qatar.Quote:

Tend to agree huge culture shift he will be hoping he has a few as you say social people maybe some western or Aussies on the same level. Hope it works well for him.Quote:

"Burgundy"?
Do Al-Faisaly play in maroon?
What’s app / face time / COD online etc - I get what you are saying but it’s not like he will be locked in a cave with no human interaction.Quote:

The relegation part is interesting- 2nd bottom and 3 go down…they are obviously expecting Boyle to produce the goods to help them stay up.
I'm sure they have weighed up his option and realised that this will make their financial future secure.they may have thought that this current hibs contract was as good as it would get. I'm sure he wasn't on great money at montrose, dundee and his initial years with us so This offers a great opportunity to top up his career earnings and allow him to choose his next deal with no pressure to maximise earningsQuote:

Yup, a decent agent and he’ll be back within a year, but a hell of a lot better off, probably managing to have his contract paid up.Quote:
