    Boyle`s buy-out clause

    According to the Sun, Martin has a buy-out clause of £500,000 so we wouldn`t be getting big money for him.

    Mind you, it`s in the Sun and I haven`t clicked on the link for it as the Sun can go **** themselves

    Same as what happened with Cummings.

    Given what we have achieved this season with his help and that he could be walking away for nothing this summer I think getting £500k on top of the prize money for third place, league cup semi, scottish cup final/win and European football next season is a win for us

    Who would believe it? The Sun sewing negative seeds about Hibs in the run up to the Cup final. Mind you, the chat on here is all about the same issues, so, what the hell. Forum gossip and red top propaganda is par for the course and I don’t think JR and the squad will be unduly worried by our impending doom.

    Yup, if this clause is in there it doesn't surprise me at all. Well worth it for another season out of him.

    I've had an inkling for a while that the cup final will be his last game for us.

    Hopefully Celtic present him with a plaque

    Read in the BBC gossip regarding that article that Jackson Irvine is away to Aberdeen too


    Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

    I very much doubt that the Sun has got it wrong about the buy-out clause.

    So the Sun doesn’t have a monopoly on this? I wonder if it was a Hibs employee, Boyle’s agent or Boyle himself who volunteered the personal information to the Sun.

    My money would be on his agent, looking to generate interest.

    Or someone else who knew.

    Most likely the agent, though.

    Offer him a new contract with an increase in wages linked to an increase in his buy out clause,after all he has had a fantastic season?

    I'm sure they will. Whether it's enough to fend off other, wealthier clubs is another matter.

    Shame, but not a massive surprise.

    Wonder how much he'd go for without the buyout.

    Our best player this season, in the prime of his career, got to be $2.5mil at least.

    Wonder where he'll go

    I 100% agree that Boyle will have signed the new deal with a buy out clause, however, there has to be an element of clickbait when the Sun and other tabloids publish these stories, the £500k part will be the clickbait in my opinion.

    I bet the buy out clause is nearer £1m.

    Why don’t you believe it?

    You really think The Sun favour St J over Hibs?!

    He's had dips in form this season, and he's a pacy player approaching the typical slowdown stage if his career. He's unlikely to have sell on value for his next club.

    He may well get a relatively big money contract if he moves but playing wise he'd be better staying put.

    If he goes to the championship I can see him making a few starts - maybe even scoring, then a few substitute appearances then he'll be sent out o loan. Within 18 months he'll probably be back in Scotland playing for St Johnstone or someone.

    At the risk of adding fuel to the fire, Eddie Howe likes a pacy winger.

    This season does feel like a bonus in terms of Boyle signing that new contract rather than moving on. I’d be gutted if he left but it would be hard to begrudge him a big pay day I suppose.

    If they gave Boyler a big wage bump just so he could be sold in the summer for £500k that doesn’t sound like the smartest move the club has ever made. I though we were generally quite savvy in getting good deals for the club? That deal gives security to the player and not a lot else.

    He is worth a minimum of £2 million and probably a lot more. We’ll always be grateful for his unbelievable contribution but to lose him for £500k would be a tough one.

    14 goals, 3rd place and a cup final must be worth a few bob

    Letting him go for nothing was the alternative.

    Eddie Howe may like pact wingers but is that the level of Celtics ambition? Signing Martin Boyle from Hibs?

    That’s part of the reason there was no title challenge from them.

    On Boyle, take the money and run. We’ve had good service from him. If he wants to go, wish him the best. We should be aiming to maximise our returns on players.

    I definitely would prefer he doesn’t leave. However, he’s proven himself to be a very effective player at this level... I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Celtc were interested.

    I know - and keeping him and Nisbet was a huge part of that. I just expected them to do something that benefited the club a bit more when the time came for him to move. £500k is really paltry for a player like that.

    It clearly suited the player to stay here in the meantime - I think he was happy to stay.

    Getting Boyle to stay was a great piece of business.

    He was staying till the end of this season anyway, but would've left for nowt similar to Rocky. This way we get something for him.
