We won the next 4 games after he left. It was the run of 1 point from 15 in September/October which saw us go from 7 ahead to 7 behind which cost us. Playing catch-up from then on. 2 Link to comment

Maybe when Derek writes his memoirs, we will discover what really happened in the autumn of 2015. From winning the opening 6 or 7 league games or whatever it was, to losing the next 5, or whatever it was. Link to comment

Tommy Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 We are in for Boyle of Hibs but alleged £500k release clause appears to be incorrect. Link to comment
DelMonte Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 We’ve bid for Boyle. Statement of intent if we can somehow do this. Link to comment

DelMonte Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 We wouldn’t bid if there wasn’t a chance. Thinking the feelers have been put out maybe? Link to comment

Tord31 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 That would be a fantastic signing for us and make a huge difference to the team. Link to comment
SupportmeansSUPPORT Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 The fact the budget was gone and we needed players to leave first, but now we are now suddenly pushing the boat out and found 500k to bid for him also makes me think that the Hedges and Hayes injuries are now confirmed long term and its been recognized that we urgently need to bring someone else in who can bring pace, creativity and goal threat.

The alleged £500k release clause only applies for non-Scottish clubs apparently? According to Hibees on Twitter. If true, £500k isn’t going to be anywhere near enough. Link to comment

The fact that we’re even showing an interest is encouraging however, after yesterday’s shitshow. If it’s not to be, then hopefully someone of his ilk. Couldn’t play in Europe for us this season though, if it was Boyle. Link to comment

But as others have alluded to, you would suspect that there has been some form of contact and afc been given the down low on the clause. Link to comment

If we were to get past Qarabag, signings can be made for the group stages of players who have played in Europe for other teams in qualifying rounds. Link to comment

And lets face there is no greater expert on contracts, wages and value of player transfer fees than Ten Caat so if he says its not the case it must be true. 2 Link to comment

On twitter a few weeks back though he said something about it not being as straightforward as others had reported and it was a lot more complicated. Link to comment
