    I'm pretty sure Groningen, who sold VVD to Celtic with a sell-on clause and profited from the sale to Southampton, also received money from Celtic when VVD went to Liverpool.


    That will be development fee. It usually works out to be washers (possibly not on a £75m deal mind you)

    It's 100% what happens. The deal is 33% of profit for McGinn. If Hibs benefit from future sales it's profit. 

    If he goes ill be happy to ask Gordon at the AGM.

    Its the profit from his next sale, with is say £3.8m if he's sold for £4m. Hibs sell on would be for any profit that Villa made.

    There's no way its a never ending trail whilst John McGinn keeps being sold on.

    Any sell on Hibs agree with Villa we get 33% of it. We get 33% of any financial gain Hibs get from John McGinn transfers. 

    So for argument sake if they agree a 20% sell on and Villa sell him for £50 million, we'd get 1/3 of £10 million. 

    I'm sure that's not what happens, once McGinn is sold our contract with Hibs is done

    Have already said that St Mirren win financially if Hibs do end up with English clubs genuinely bidding against Celtic. Imagine if Neil Lennon started helping move on Rangers players with 1 year of their contract left or if McInnes got involved in helping shift Hibs or Motherwell players. I said it was odd if Stubbs is involved.

    STV are one of the media groups saying today that the fee could be around £2m or is not yet finalised - others saying Hibs are still negotiating add ons etc. All last night's reports seemed to say was Hibs and Aston Villa were in talks, and £4m-rated" McGinn was going down to meet them.

    A few Hibs related sites are saying either that an ex-manager is helping Hibs find an English buyer or that Stubbs has recommended him to clubs like Derby, Fulham and Everton ahead of the English transfer deadline. If the latest reports are anything to go by Hibs and Aston Villa have not yet agreed a fee and Villa might only be offering £2m at the moment. At the worst a genuine bidding war could get underway if Celtic really want him.

    Here's hoping its settled soon so Stubbs can stop helping Hibs to find an English buyer for McGinn and focus on getting some players signed to St Mirren FC - I realise that St Mirren win financially if an English club outbids Celtic and John signs with them but its still a little odd that our manager is helping Hibs get a better offer for one of their players!

    You didn't say IF Stubbs is involved at all.

    You passed it off as fact, saying 'So Stubbs can stop helping Hibs' and 'Odd that out manager is helping Hibs'

    But hey ho, anything to have a dig at our manager, no matter how petty or daft it makes you look.......'A few Hibs related sites'.......:rolleyes:

    Sounds legit if it was from Hibs related site...

     

    Imagine passing that off as a fact, scraping the barrel in terms of slagging our manager

    If we’re sticking with a back 3 today I’d like to see Paul McGinn on the right side of the 3, you really need both sides of the defence to be comfortable in passing the ball forward. I can’t see Flynn having a problem at wing back as he’s played a lot of the last few years there.                
     
                                               Samson   
          P McGinn       Baird/Heaton     Kpekawa
    Flynn                                                                    Coulsen
           MacPherson    S McGinn     Magennis            
                            Mullen                 Stewart


    I think the issue with Flynn playing there (and same problem I have with McGinn) is that he isn’t quick enough to play that position. Also not sure he is good enough defensively if called upon.

    A Liam Smith type would be a stand out playing RWB.

    Btw, I think it’s now clear to see why Jack was whoring himself round any decent club down south. The squad was no where near good enough and if Hippolyte and Flynn are ‘ones for next season’ added to the signings of Kellerman and McGinn I think major questions need to be asked of his premier league signings.

    Looking back Jack probably overachieved with the squad last year, added to the fact no one else in the league hit any level of consistency.

    Whoever came in was going to have a massive rebuild ahead of them, especially after losing Morgan and Davis.

    Everyone is saying the feel good factor is gone from last year but 2 or 3 decent signings before next Saturday and a win against Dundee and I’m sure that will all disappear

    Not saying everything is rosy, QP game was my first game and it was f**king grim.

    On recruitment there’s not been many signings the other teams have made that has made me think I wish we got them (Motherwell signing Connor Sammon FFS). At least the manager isn’t blind to it and is highlighting how much he needs to get the right striker in.

    I have no doubt Connor randall is a good lad and would be a decent signing, but its goals we need first and foremost.  
     
    ETA:  Just checked a few of the LFC twitter comments on him.... less than glowing !! 


    Think the standard expected of a Liverpool player and st mirren player is slightly different

    One of the telling things tonight was despite screaming out for a goal or some creativity, Stubbs left Cooke and King on the bench, two of his signings, whilst only using 2 subs.

    First I’ve seen of the team tonight and to be honest I’m shocked at what I seen,

    Heaton looked nervous to start but I’m not too concerned about him I think he will come good.

    Kpekawa described himself as a ball playing centre half....f**k me, his distribution is atrocious.

    McGinn is a major downgrade from Liam Smith, amazed Ross signed him.

    Wasn’t impressed with Coulson, looked too lightweight.

    Cammy Smith looks lost

    Mullen, Flynn, Stephen McGinn didn’t impress either

    Anyone else think we don’t look fit either? Coulson and KPekawa looked knackered after about 50mins

    Really surprised at quite how poor we were tonight.

    The fact we are discussing paying a fee for Lawrence fecking Shankland really sums the desperation up 🤣

    Mullen is running around and trying his best but he’s just not very good.


    I was just to write almost the exact same first line[emoji85]

    Think you are harsh on Mullen, absolutely no one helping him. We need better but the way we are playing is hanging him out to dry.

    It'll be the usual moaning in here and then getting selfies with Stubbsy on the night.
    Been at loads of these nights and the only one that got mildly tasty was an AGM in Tommy Craigs time.


    This 100%, even Craig’s was very tame with one comment about wishing he had resigned coming right at the end

    All the big voices here getting ripped into Stubbs will all by shear chance have other things on that night and will be unable to attend
