I couldn’t find any reference to it hence my question.
Whatever we got it's a lot more than he's worth now so good deal in hindsight

Enjoyable discussion.
From what I recall JC stayed an extra year at Hibs,after the Cup win, that he called "unfinished business" to get Hibs back to the top flight (and knock Hearts out the cup - AGAIN - this time as a cup winning Hibee)
He could've gone after the cup win but showed a fair amount of loyalty, so it wouldn't surprise me if he got a higher than average cut of the Notts Forest fee.
As above, total speculation on my part and I'm not itk but there were some really good vibes around Jason during his time at ER.

I'd also take him back given the opportunity.
