If he is a success the bigger clubs come calling at mega bucks and if he’s already at a big club then no sell on clause.

The last thing we need it the player to give the excuse he wasn’t valued or wanted enough when his head will be spinning all over the place. Did you miss the bit where we ended up in administration thanks to giving wages we couldn't actually afford to players? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Kilpatrick Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Can we just enjoy Hickey as a player without imagining what transfer fee we might get for him? We don't need the money and we all accept he will move at some point so let's enjoy watching one of the few bright spots in this team.

Longer term, I reckon we would get more money via a sell on as he will likely have more chance to develop at Southampton than man city. I'd rather he stayed for 2 or 3 more seasons at least and continued to develop with hearts though Yes would be the most beneficial way if it worked out the same He is a terrific young player but I am not sure how good he will become too early to say. If we were offered a few million he will be sold for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time it suited both clubs. It's perfectly clear. Couldn't be clearer tbh. As I stated in my original post, no forward thinking and bad business. A 30% sell on clause is pretty much unheard of. There has been the odd bigger % sell on but 10, 15 or 20% at a push for the majority of contractual agreements. Levein obviously hasn’t been convinced Hickey has enough potential to sell on for any real money, he hasn’t identified his talent as a top scout or football knowledge would. So, instead of having the foresight to pay say 50-100k, at a guess, if and when sold we would now find ourselves paying out many times that if the story out there is true.

DH1986 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) If and when Hickey decides to leave we need to be smarter than Celtic...... Loan him to the buying club for the remainder of his contract but we get a loan fee for him.....say around £400,000 below what we value him at. Then when he signs for the club on a permanent basis we get the standard £400,000 compensation fee and Celtic get 30% of that paltry sum whilst we keep the loan fee minus the Hickey familys cut. It may be morally questionable but I can’t see how it would be breaking the terms of a sell-on agreement.

Aye but we have the player and get 70% of any fee? So if it was 20% you would shrug your shoulders , but because it is 10% more you want ( or maybe it was another poster) an explanation by the club and are in a bit of a tizz. It's a bit of a dull one if true ( I have no information on the in and outs of the negotiations at the time) , but we have the player and are in control of the situation. If he makes us £1m or £100m it will have been good business, even if that mob get some money as well.

None knew Hickey would be a revelation, they hope that they get a potential player shaping the youth into a product. This is his first pro season very unexpected its a lot different than getting a player who made a few appearance then got stolen by us for free. Look Hearts have the key to unlock the Hickey mystery one day they will open up a bit and we find out.

gjcc Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 This place, honestly. People were wary to say the least about paying a fee for Shankland, it’d have been apocalyptic on here if we’d paid similar to get an unproven 16 year old. You just have to look at our own academy to see past players that show promise but end up not making the grade. Hearts took a (relatively) free punt and it looks to have paid off.
