I stand to be corrected, but there is 100% no way imo that Daniel Levy only dealt with and arranged MGW's medical, with just MGW's agent and the player himself. No way whatsoever! Daniel Levy and Nicolas Randall would have spoken and agreed the 60m buyout and therefore sanctioned MGW's medical.
It's only when your chairman got wind of it and overruled his own chairman who he put in charge to run the club on a day-to-day basis and make decisions like this, is when the shit hit the fan.
Forget about the tapping up your owner is trying to use to prevent this transfer, because tapping up is part of the professional game in one form or another and to have a charge proven (unlikely) and acted upon would open up a whole can of worms going forward for future transfers.

Mah dude, please use the Enter or Return key to start a new paragraph.

It really helps when trying to read your responses.

forest188 Big Mak is fat a fukk, this a fact so stop that virtue signalling shit & with the moral high ground crap - HE IS A FAT MAN. if you're shocked by this then you're as shocked as calling him Greek & this club has dealt with Greek Fat fukks in the past.

You said - 'The club would not be complaining if it wasn't illegally triggered'

Then say -'Nobody knows the fine print in the contract'

That's what people call a 'contradiction'...oh wait you said IF yeah sure mate.

Also 'But Forest wouldn't be taking it to the courts out of pettiness.' erm evidence to the contrary

Nottingham Forest fans all make the same valid point after £750k FA fine

You can't make this up 🙃

So stop that shit right now - your club's actions paint them as a 6 yr old girl who didn't get their ice cream because the dumb kid dropped it on the floor & want more so yeah B/S & sukk your sour grapes. Us at Tottenham know our Chairman is a short bald cunt who cares more about Hotels than our squad so we keep it real round these parts...

Your club can fukk off back to the Championship - I'd rather have Charlton Athletic here than you pricks. Nottingham Forest didn't value their player high enough & thought MGW wouldn't be an England International or compete in Europe cos they're clowns also you deserve to be relegated. Your club is a disgrace...I like Nottingham have friends there & sat on the Lions (if ya know ya know)

Your club is a corrupt cancer on the Premier League & I hope it metaphorically burns to the ground while you're owner goes bankrupt so he can lose some weight instead of heffing it about like he's some MAFIA 3 type video game boss from a modded FIFA game.

Oh by the way nothing personal but honestly your club can fukk off & give us the player we paid for as this is gonna look bad for any player already or wanting to play for you as your owner is nothing more than a winging baby with money to burn on a stupid LOLsuit instead of building a squad...

I have to add some balance because clearly SOME of you fellas aren't interested in it & are just resulting in calling our owner fat & commiting libel (the usual tiresome response).

The club would not be complaining if it wasn't illegally triggered, we are not "dragging it out", we don't want to sell him & never had unless it was for stupid money. I know you like to think Levy is the worlds best businessman but we think highly of our owners ability to control deals ourselves, and he is much more popular here than Levy is at your place because of his desire to not allow people to shit on the club.

I think the reality of this situation is Levy has tried to pull a slick one & activate a clause without knowing the fine print of the contract. Levy should have contacted the club & done it by the book, it might work at other clubs where you can poach players but as pointed out above, our owner will act if he thinks he's getting shafted. There was no clause reported until a week ago, and within 5 minutes he had a medical booked.

Nobody knows the fine print in the contract, that is why any technical discussions are pointless. But Forest wouldn't be taking it to the courts out of pettiness. This situation is so rare because things are normally done professionally & by the book. In my personal opinion of how this plays out is Spurs will end up withdrawing their bid as the outcome of an illegal is not worth the bother for you. Sorry to dampen on your parade, but Levy has fucked this up. Not Forest.

60m is stupid money for Gibbs White. 60m puts him in the top 15 midfielders transfers ever to the EPL. He has just 2 years left on his contract.

I ain’t reading all that.

But I’m happy for you though. Or, I’m sorry that happened.
 
I don’t know anything about the transfer but I did like it when Marinakis sang the theme tune for the 1990 World Cup.

If we see no movement by Gibbs White or Spurs today this transfer should be considered by us as dead. Spurs then need to move onto our next targets we cannot wait forever.

That’s not how legalities work. I agree that we should be putting in the graft on sourcing an alternative just in case but in no way should we consider this transfer dead. There’s ages left in this window ffs.

Chill out and have a latte.

Yep- I'd be happy to wait until the deadline if the club really were going to spend 60m on this guy. And I hope they do wait these cunts out over this bullshit stalling.

If we walked away here it could really hurt Forest. What decent up and coming player is going to risk their career knowing the club will just renege on contract clauses? If it’s a choice of Brighton, Forest and Brentford and you’re Elliott or Dibling - are you going to risk going to Forest?

Then add in that MGW won’t sign a new contract, will likely be demotivated and every man and his dog now knows he has a £60m release clause.

Everytime they bid for a player we should just keep getting involved to push the price up or delay the deal.

We should walk away from this MGW deal if it’s not resolved by Friday, let Forest deal with the mess and we can go after other targets - I’m not convinced he’s worth this bollocks

Perfectly put. MGW is no good to Forest now and even if he ends up at Spurs it's tainted too. The whole thing has been messed up by the fat Greek alleged criminal ...and by overshadowing Kudus it's spoiled things for him too. Give it till Friday? - I'd say tell them to do one now - and we move on.
Forest have joined my ever-growing list of Ultra Bogey clubs.

Exactly and the Forest owner is now making his situation worse by wasting time not looking for a replacement, and looking like a poor man to do business with.
