We may find out soon if the lesser mob are serious or not, if they are I expect a bid 2.5million plus Mikey Johnston

Agreed but I wouldn’t be surprised if they lowball us and expect the media to make us the pantomime villains again whilst expecting MB to try to push a move through.

I would be shocked if they give us a serious bid, they’ve had it their way too long and I’m sure we’ll be hearing about how he would’ve been a bench warmer anyway, much like the the SJM saga.

He'll be keen to speak to see what they're offering but he'll be under no illusion that if Hibs valuation isn't met, he'll be going nowhere.

If he has an agent then he knows exactly whats on offer. Martin can't speak to another club but any rep can.

Was meaning Mueller but will gladly take a new signing too

The Scotsman understands that Al Faisaly are not prepared to pay any more than £2m for Boyle and have now moved on to another target in the forward area.
Hibs have been braced for interest in Boyle this transfer window, with his performances for Australia catching the eyes of many teams in the Middle East.

Sky Sports saying he is keen to speak to them anyway

They’re shaking a big bag of sweeties. I’d want a wee look inside too.

I’m hoping it’s another as Mueller was already signed. Shall see though!

He’s not being lifted out of poverty, he’d be going from being a rich man to a richer man.

I don’t think it should be discounted how life changing this move could be for him and I wouldn’t blame him for wanting it.

He’s probably be going from a very comfortable living but with a need to seriously consider how he can maintain that income/lifestyle beyond his playing career to being set for life and able to choose/not worry what to do once he hangs up his boots.

It’s a short career where he’s only recently gone onto this big wage and after giving around half to the tax man over most of his career time then I doubt he’s rich after 10-12 years of professional football in Scotland outside the OF.

Good. I don’t think this is over but we shouldn’t be letting him go for £2m.

I mean, even if you have him on an average of £2k a week until his new contract, 10 years of that is over a million quid before tax. He'll easily be on more than a quarter million a year salary with Hibs now.

If he's been remotely sensible with even some of that income, by any definition he'll be a rich man. Not as rich as he'd be after a stint in the Middle East, but I would suspect his current Hibs contract will be worth the best part of 7 figures to him.

I know it’s all relatively. But circa 50k a year after tax and before living expenses does not make you a rich man ..he will be comfortable currently, but by no means will he have secured his future on that level of earnings …

No messing about in terms of getting players in nice and early this window. Good to see.

No so sure what we going to speculate on for the rest of the month 😂

£2k a week is £66k a year after tax but before a pension so probably about £60k a year. That sounds a lot in principle but once you deduct the cost of living then it will be significantly lower. If anyone times their wage by 10 years they’re probably wondering where it’s all gone, I doubt I’ve got 10% of my earnings left over the last decade.

If he’s been sensible then he most likely has a nice house and/or is mortgage free. It’s the length of career that’s the crux here, a rich person could choose to stop working whenever they want IMO whereas I can’t see that being the case for any career SPFL player outside the OF.

The fact that he may have to continue working like the rest of us after he retires from football is no reason for us to accept an offer lower than what we value him at.

Totally agree, which is why I never said or alluded to that being the case.

I merely pointed out that I think it’s a life changing offer for him which is why he is most likely interested even if he loves being here/is unsure about the prospect of living there.

104k per year equates to 67k after tax not 50k. Quite an overexageration from you there.

Yup, hoping he doesn’t spend the rest of his days on the golf course.

Depriving Leith of Squirrel the publican would be a great shame.

ah, so they want to make him a multi millionaire but don't think he's worth more than £2m to buy

Ha. Ok. Wasn’t trying to exaggerate tbh..was just going with a rough rule Of thumb …50% net after tax and NI from a 100k salary. however the principle still stands £5.5k net per month for 10 years - doesn’t not make anyone a rich man …I know it’s a good wage compared to most - but it’s not making him “rich”

These things are don’t though agents who the press have relationships with and not uncommon for an agent to leave a story to drive interest or push for a move for a player. Just see what leaving that salary information had done, almost every Hibs fan I’ve seen acknowledging he would be daft to not move with those wages.

Completely agree about the dosh on offer. Set the guy up for life if reports are accurate
