What I don't get, is Arse are currently negotiating with Palace for a deal UNDER Eze's £68m release clause ...
Firstly, What's the point of a release clause if you can negotiate under it...
And also, everyone KNOWS the release clause... It's no big Whoo-haaa secret!

They're not negotiating with Palace for anything, they haven't even made an offer for him.
 
That's just wrong. If you have a release clause of £60 million and the other club offers £80 million, then the player is sold for £80 million, the purpose of the release clause in this case is that an offer of at least £60 million will trigger the clause.
No actually, it would go to the player for their decision. The selling club doesn't have a leg to stand on to dictate that the 60m offer is no longer valid.
 
Why would the club comment when Forest haven't even commented themselves?
Why would the club comment, period? This is not about who wins the comment war. It's about who has the law on their side. Commenting offers absolutely nothing, other than perhaps providing fans some concrete information, which I doubt either club gives a fuck about at this point.
 
Can you maybe just be patient and wait to see how this develops?
Patient?

ON THE INTERNET???

i wonder if mgw and his agent improperly leaked the release amount like a lot of players and agents do and then the bfg (big fat greek) freaked out and is threatening to make life difficult for mgw and that's why he's gone quiet now. bfg's plan now is to make this as difficult and ugly as possible and scupper the deal which is standard business procedure for crooks like bfg. i also think this is a point of pride or whatever for bfg and he'd rather mgw leave for free than go to us.

signed, me, hvg
 
I don't think you really understand the words "release clause".
To be fair Bill I think he does.

You seem to be mixing up buy-out clause (which is in Spain and is the ability of a player to buy out his own contract) with release clause.

What happens in Spain is not a release clause
as we are talking about here, and the implementation and implications are not the same at all.

A contract that Forest have breached in the first instance.

This is not a garden variety "I am mad the club isn't selling me" situation.

Forest are refusing to honor their contract with Gibbs-White. He is well, WELL within his rights to refuse to train, give notice of terminating his contract, and declaring himself a free agent. And/or take legal action to force Forest to honor the terms.

Marinakis has made his position clear. There will be no voluntary deal, and legal compulsion ain't arriving by the end of this transfer window.

We don't have a player willing to upset those facts on the ground, so this saga is over.


There is nothing to develop if Gibbs-White won't take escalatory action.
but if mgw and his agent acted improperly and bfg has evidence of this then it gets messy enough that he turns up to training just to be safe
 
Yeah that would be true if a team offered 80m but that didn't happen. Spurs offered 60m and that triggered the release clause.

If another club comes in and outbids us now with 80m then that makes no difference. It'll be up to the player. The spurs offer should be good enough as it meets the release clause.

Atleast thats how it should work although it seems this Forest owner is doing his own thing and would prob find a way to force MGW to join the club paying more money. Contractually that is not how it usually works though.I just think this Forest owner comes from the mafia or something and he's doing everything on his own terms
But it appears that Man City approached Forest and asked how much they wanted for Gibbs-White. Forest did not break the NDA and said £100 million. Man City could have put in a lower bid, but decided not to pursue it at that time. If they had known that there was a release clause and its amount then they would have bid £60 million, but they were not entitled to be told about that clause, even if they had made a successful offer.
 
Ever really considered how damaging the word hate is?
Do you really know how to use the word in its proper context?

It's the 'don't' call him fat he's just big boned guy!!!

"I hate Ange as a manger too" There it means fuckall met the bloke in person seemed okay. Fucking hate Oasis as a Rock band they suck. The world does not end with a little hyperbole. It's a valid literary device pleb, for the love of God don't read any Charles Bukowski you'll faint like a Victorian era heroine.
 
Why are you making up a ficticious scenario? The 'second' club, i.e. Spurs offer £60m which meets the release clause, and the player, if he's happy to join Spurs, makes the move. We are obviously aware of the clause (through info from the agent or player?) and have made the requisite offer. Maybe Marinakis would like the clause to be secret and have several teams competing and upping the offers but he's going to be disappointed.
I was using the example because someone else had made a mistake in describing the effect of a release clause. I corrected this and gave a possible scenario.
