bazil85 Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 4 hours ago, munoz said: I heard J McGinn saying in an interview that he'd consider signing a new deal at Hibs. What I'm wondering is , would that put an end to any percentage that we're due? No it wouldn't. We are owed 33% if Hibs sell him, regardless of how many new contracts Hibs give him. What people aren't sure is if it's profit of next sale or 33% of the value. Did that ever get clarified? My concern is, with him going into the fourth year of his deal, could he invoke Webster's ruling and walk away from his contract for a substantially reduced fee? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webster_ruling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornwall_Saint Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 On 08/01/2017 at 9:10 AM, Mr Zo said: Would love to see him win the title with Hibs and move on for £2-3 million in the summer with saints landing a healthy windfall which could help us cope with a drop into league One and possibly remain full time to get us out of the league. Just trying to start a positive thread as there is currently very little positive to mention about the club after yesterday's shambles. Completely unrelated to John McGinn but reading this post from the OP shows exactly how our success isn't just the one season, it's been 18 months worth of hard work and effort. This post summed up all of our feelings in January 2017. Who'd have thought April 2018 would be the month we regained our place in Scotland's top flight? What a journey.

uhura Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 I’ve read there’s a possibility of him going to Celtic in a swap deal with Scott Allan with a few quid thrown in going to Hibs. How’s that going to work for us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How’s that going to work for us? All ifs and buts, same as last year when people were saying 'Celtic would buy two players and over pay on the other.' (Load of nonsense) Scott Allan might go in the deal but McGinn is still worth a few million quid. He's up for player of the year this season.

kevo_smfc Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 McGinn shortlisted for player of the year has only raised his profile higher. I can't see him going for any less than £3m regardless of any part exchange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he would definitely make the step-up to the Premier League in England. James McCarthur who i think is a great player and doing well at that level, I think John is maybe better than him and has more years on his side.

div Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 We are due 33% of any transfer fee Hibs receive for McGinn, less the £120K they paid for him.So if he was sold for £3m we’d get a third of £2.88m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have most of the summer to play hardball on McGinn, either to get him to extend by another year, giving them the same problem next summer, or to sell. Bearing in mind if they sell for £3m they would be due us the best part of £1m I can't see them being massively tempted by £2m right now. A Premiership club should be good for £5m in my opinion!

Indeed, I should have clarified that I would find it glorious to see him go to a big London club in the EPL, rather than be yet another Scottish player hoovered up by a certain other Scottish club who might win the top flight for one hundred in a row.
