Ahh cheers, didn't realise it was a fishy site thing.

Yup. Just saw that. Hope we aren't having to pay him off.

I heard in the past that he had a clause in his contract which allows him to request a termination of contract at the conclusion of the season - would assume there is no cost to either him or Hibs.

[My_Wife_Camille]

Good stuff.

[we are hibs]

The right call. It looked a good signing on paper but he hasn't had anywhere near the impact I expected him to have. Frees up a decent wage I would imagine too.

[Ryan91]

Bit of a shame, after a bit of a slow start, he's been solid since his return from the Asian Cup, but he probably wants to move back closer to home.

Going to be interesting to see who we bring in to cover that DM role given we've got both Milligan and Bartley back home

[supermcginn]

Excellent news. Enormous wage off the books.

How do you know his wage was enormous?

Good luck to him, decent player.

I don’t know about the enormous bit but I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch to imagine signing someone like him with the amount of caps he had will have been on a significant wage. He won’t have come over from Australia unless it was financially worthwhile for him to do so.

He turned us down before we sold mcginn due to wages

Turned down 4 offers from us before he signed and insisted on the get out clause.. He was second highest paid at the club.

[jeffers]

Excellent news. I’d heard similar regarding his wages. Not claiming it is fact but it stands to reason he would be one of our better paid players given we wouldn’t expect an international captain to come for peanuts and we had to up our initial offer for him to actually sign.

i think in his prime he was probably a good player but for me he’s been a big disappointment.

Departures of decent loyal players shouldn’t be celebrated. Poor show IMHO.

Milligan has only been here a year so whilst I agree with your sentiment hes hardly in the same loyalty league as our Marv imo. If rumours are true he turned us down several times due to money before agreeing to sign.

And he wasn’t loyal enough to risk injury before the Asian cup. Never tried a leg until he got back and has been average since.
I’m not celebrating his departure but I totally agree with Heckingbottom that it’s the right thing for Hibs. He’s not good enough.

He’s been one of our better players since he returned. But I do think it’s the right decision. Someone with more mobility in there a must.

Loyal lol he's only been here 5 minutes and dragged his heels for weeks before signing. I'll celebrate anything that means the club is looking to improve.

Going to be a good day tomorrow, hopefully see a fitting goodbye to a number of players. Aswel as Bartley and Milligan I fear it'll be McNulty and Omeongas last games too. Throw in Gauld and Agyepong and theres a whole host of goodbyes. Really hope we get a positive result, we've been due Aberdeen a good doing at Easter Road

Think Omeonga will stay.

[Scouse Hibee]

He has done very well for us as you would expect given his pedigree. Wish him well.

[B.H.F.C]

We’ve had a lot worse than Milligan.

I didn’t want him as a starter next year but wouldn’t have been against having him as a member of the squad.

[California-Hibs]

Not sure the truth of it but I heard at the time of signing he was on 5k a week and only Efe was on more (6k). Not sure how true..

Very very close to the truth. Hopefully someone much younger and dynamic is his replacement.

[Since452]

Always tried hard and never let us down. All we could ask. All the best to him.
