Did Gordon go from Hearts? If you're including Edinburgh teams as provincial then there's McGinn to Villa but he's the only one I can think of so your point stands. Sell-on clauses are massive for us, particularly if a player moves to England and his value shoots up.

Everyone else is provincial other than the Edinburgh clubs.

Here to help as always.

Unfortunately didn’t get much from Moult and Kipre, or Heneghan.

We got a decent wedge for Kipre I'd say, particularly as he was sold on for virtually the same price. Moult was relative to how long he had left on his deal and I say this with the greatest respect, but getting £400,000 for Ben Heneghan was roughly about £400,000 more than I thought we'd see. Couldn't fault him for effort or application, but I thought he was a very poor component of a struggling defence in the 16/17 season. Outpaced by quick strikers and outfought by strong ones.

Thanks for the red dot Mr Brightside. I was expecting it. 

Although if you actually knew the full Oscar Wilde quote 🤷‍♂️

Announced on the Club twitter now too, which also confirms a new appointment has already been made and has been working with GA on summer recruitment. 

I guess this is the change in strategy that @Onthefringes hinted at a few weeks back. I really want to know who OTF is ....a bigger mystery than who 'H' was!

Who will replace him? Will we find better or worse players? Is the silence deafening? Any decent sit in curry houses? 

As @dezz says club have announced. And also, as ever, fair play to @Onthefringes keeping things right.

Quote

“Martin and the club had decided to mutually part ways several months ago. Therefore, we have already appointed a replacement, who has been working with manager Graham Alexander on summer business. His appointment will be announced shortly.”

I meant in terms of a sell on which is part of the package

Aston Villa could have offered us £5m and saved themselves some money. 

They could have but I think they might have been put off by the knee condition.

Whatever we think of Celtic they were very professional about the whole thing. And I think their medical team were a great help to Turnbull when they uncovered the issue. And they came through with around £3m they offered even after he spent a year on the sidelines.
