I think he'll be away. If we lose him and Jackson in the summer it'll be a huge blow so I'm just trying to enjoy them while I can.

Guaranteed European group stage football could be a very attractive incentive to a number of players if we achieve 3rd place.

No disrespect but money talks. For most professional footballers that's the main driver.

I think Newell might get a wee bit more money at an English club. I don’t think it’ll be a life changing difference and I don’t think he’ll get a better club than Hibs though.

He came from Rotherham in the championship so he'll have been on very decent cash down there and I'd assume be one of our higher earners, he's a decent player but not irreplaceable, the one bonus is he's a lefty which we haven't got a lot of.

I hope Joe re-signs, I'm sure he saw playing in Scotland as a short term opportunity to progressing his career. He's done well for us, does us a favour signing a new contract as it mean if a club comes in for him they will have to pay a decent rate if he's under contract. From a personal pov he continually improves which means he attracts a better club and the added bonus of playing European football must be appealing and considered a major plus point.

Did Boyle not make a joke about it in an interview or something?
That would seem promising to me.

It was like Boyle was trying to ambush or embarrass Newell on live TV.

Like he was goading him, like I've signed, Lewis signed, c'mon mate it's your turn.

I’d like him to stay, and it depends on what happens with Irvine, but I don’t think Newell is as integral as he was pre January. He’s got a job on his hands to get back in the team.

Wages not great at Rotherham - see below. Don't think he has done enough to get a contract with a bigger championship side.
Think he will be trying to maximize sal
ary and length of contract at Hibs.

Newell and Irvine could get more money down south, but what they won't get is a chance to play in Europe.
So I'd consider offering both a one year deal to keep both sides happy. We get them for another year, and they would still be free agents after it. Good performances in Europe could see them get a better club or contract than they would this summer.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

Especially not in Irvine’s case who has already played allover the world for Oz, including 3 World Cup finals appearances.
Ithink they will both get offers from championship sides that are 4 or 5 times what they get at Hibs, so think they will be back down the road in the summer.
I also hope I am 100% wrong, and that something can be done to keep them here.

Surely if they were that good then they wouldn't be at hibs earning a quarter or a fifth of what championship clubs can pay

Schadenfreude is not something I take any pleasure in, however there are some recent examples that act as a good warning to players that the 'poker' game of holding out does not always end well.....I think of Fraser Fyvie and Efe Ambrose who left us for better deals elsewhere that didn't materialise, or Stephen O'Donnell who turned down an extension at Killie for a couple of temporary contracts at Motherwell.
Newell has been decent but hasn't stood out, not enough anyway. When other clubs came poking about in the last window it wasn't him they were looking at. The kind of money that was being talked about for our star performers shows that England still doesn't rate Scottish football that highly, if Newell moves it will be because some lower championship side want a squad player or it will be League 1.....to make matters worse for him, COVID means the amount of money kicking about is much reduced at those levels.
If Hibs have put an offer on the table he should be thinking seriously about picking up that pen......there may not be a better offer and we could find better in the meantime.

I wouldn't blame either of them for leaving if they could get another £4k per week (probably double Hibs' offer) but if there's only £1k in it then the opportunity to play in Europe has to be tempting for an extra year here.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position.

Would love to keep Newall and Irvine but think that keeping one of them is the most likely scenario.Two different styles of player but ultimately keeping hold of Irvine is the priority particularly if Scott Allen can regain fitness and form..

I like Newell but I'm not sure he's done anything he wasn't already doing down the road so no guarantees the offers are better there than they were before.
Every chance he stays on.

I think he'll hang off until he sees where we're going to finish. Potential Europa League group stages will see him stay imo.
