It's bollocks.

The end of the day we met the terms of the contract (release clause), this won't go to arbitration, court or through any other legal process.

Forest seeing the player develop, should have offered him a new contract but the fat kebab eating Chairman was too busy chasing Nuno around he pitch post games.

Good post.

I'm not sure how a buy-out clause can ever remain secret. Once met however, I am unsure of the process that should be followed, or if it exclusive to the initial bidder.
 
I can say for a selling club all else being equal an option in a contract is better than an obligation. I dont need to know all the details of every contract.

Don't you remember how gutted we were for so many years that we only had a gentleman's agreement with Kane rather than a stipulated release clause in his contract you idiot???

Someone else can bid, but it seems he's already signed a contract with us.

It's just the player registration that needs to be finalised, which I suppose Forest can refuse to process - but that's likely to get them in shit rather than us.
 
Marinakis supposedly put his shareholding in Forest in a blind trust in case Forest and Olympiakos both qualified for the CL. This is supposed to mean he has no influence on Forest.

The MGW saga has demonstrated this blind trust is a big pile of horsepoop. UEFA should investigate this even though the conflict between Forest and Olympiakos never eventuated. Marinakis mis-representations to UEFA of managing the conflict is clearly an act of bad faith.
Marinakis took back full control of his shares on 6th June.
 
I always thought that Gibbs White could be tried as a possible 6, I don't know if his defensive positioning and awareness is strong enough though.
A couple of you asked a similar question to me when I popped on here the other day. Yes he could play in a midfield two - he is much better at attacking than defending, but still does a good job doing his defensive duties, winning the ball back and transitioning defence to attack. He is a workhorse and an aggressive player, so naturally does well in the middle of the field.
 
Having read all the rumours and arguments I haven’t a clue how this is going to pan out. My question is why does it always seem to be us involved in these situations? The delay will complicate future dealings as no one can be sure of the outcome. Hope the PL are quick and decisive.

Its not always us. Every club has difficulties to close the deal one way or other. Look at Gyokeres issues with his club. If anything, Gibbs White to us is more of case of when not if.
 


Plays it beautifully. Has every pass in the book and dictates games in a way only few can. This is why I favour a more destroyer type 6. Getting MGW will take players like maddison, kudus, johnson and solanke to higher levels.

This is very pleasing. It shows that we do have a plan. Kudus pre-Mgw was abit underwhelming for me but now it makes complete sense. Kudus will make runs and isolate his fullback and he will be found instantly. This also makes me believe even more that johnson will play left and his game will be all about runs in behind.

It's a great shame archie gray is not a year or 2 further along, because gray and MGW combined has mega potential and that's even without thinking of bergvall.
