A Scottish Cup Winning Legend. What a pic. It was old hat for him , he had already won a trophy at Hampden 3 years before , his expession was the exact same that day too ! ................... and there were no fannies on the park afterwards disrupting our celebrations ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear in mind this was tweeted after Gilmour's tenure connected to the club had ended. If he'd been pulling wool over the eyes of disgruntled fans, there'd be no need to continue the charade given that he's no longer affiliated with St. Mirren, he could have easily said 'oh by the way it's only 20%, no 33%' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grass Is Greener. Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Anyway, do we even know if there was really a bid? Don't Hibs usually make a statement if a bid has been rejected? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say so. Pulled in around £500k from McAllister and Mallan transfers, would have made another £300k from the cup tie at the piggery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggested that the 33% sell on would be a cracking boost if Hibs held out and this figure was rounded on by the 'PETRIE SAYS THAT'S BOLLOCKS' folks rather quickly. As a full time club operating out of the championship, I'd say we're always in a position where we need money coming in, we've done well in the last six months between player sales and a decent cash return from a cup tie at Parkhead. Any money from the future sales of Kenny McLean and John McGinn are welcome bonuses and not budgeted so of course we're going to take interest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudu Dahan pal Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 quite like st.mirren. for 86, for beating hearts in the league cup final, then drawing with Falkirk to allow us to win the league. good guys IMO. In return we helped you stay up by beating Raith and giving you a point. Don't ruin it now x 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, despite McGinn being out of contract, we held all the cards where negotiating with Hibs - or any other club wanting him for that matter - came about. We offered him improved terms which he rejected. This meant we could hold out for a rather large development fee or effectively freeze him out of football indefinitely. To that end, he'd come off a bad season and never had too many admirers and Hibs understandably weren't willing or able to part with the money required (approx £250k I believe it was given he'd been with us since 7 or 8 years old), so we accepted a much reduced development fee (around half if reports at the time were accurate) for a much boosted sell on with the thinking that if he goes on and does well at Hibs, it's a win-win scenario for both clubs. Not such a far-fetched notion really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lebowski Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 I think most people think there is a 33% sell on, it makes sense and looks like it'll be a good deal for everyone. Could be that the fee is 33% of what Hibs get after tax, agent fees, Mcginns percentage etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Think most St. Mirren fans were happy with this because Hibs carry the weight - even in the championship - of being a club who won't accept wee piddly amounts for their assets whereas we'd never be able to hold out for high values on our players. I said at the time that Hibs and Aberdeen were the two best clubs that McGinn could have gone to because when the time is right, those two clubs will always do right by themselves in the transfer fees they draw and by proxy, will do us right too. For a recent example of this, see Steven Mallan and Liam Boyce leaving Saints and County respectively for a fraction of Jason Cummings going to Forest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not such a far-fetched notion really. obviously at the time he may have been seen as a bit of a risk but now it seems mental that we could've had him for 250k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
