Well that's what happens when you allow Levy to negotiate on behalf of other clubs I guess
The point is to provide the player with reassurance that if a club comes in with a big offer, then the player can talk to the club. He won’t be forced to stay by unreasonably high demands.If the NDA is breched by the player then what exactly is the point of having a clause in the first place?
"OK Morgan, we agree to put a release clause in your contract but you can't tell anyone about it otherwise it's void"
….
Hasn't this been done to death on here already? A confidential release clause still has a purpose, as it allows the player to insist on leaving if someone bids that amount or more (despite the bidding club not knowing they've 'hit' the right amount, or over it).
Enforcing it / proving the confidentialty has been breached however is a completely different matter, as god only knows how they ever expected to do that. :/
If you only tell one person at a time (and they're not recording you!!!), there's bugger all they can do about it.
Right so why would the player agree to put an NDA on that and if true why would the player/agent leak the info if he knows that it's a potential breach of contract?
Would MGW's agent raising his eyebrows several times in quick succession as soon as Levy says the correct amount count as breaching the confidentiality of the NDA?If the NDA is breched by the player then what exactly is the point of having a clause in the first place?

Perhaps the Sheriff sent him?
Little Jonny as he’s probably known!
the player puts in the nda to get the deal done and give him assurances of a reasonable exit. they reveal the number to suitors because they think they can get away with it because it's probably very hard to prove. and this is where i'll circle back to our former manager potentially revealing how we found out the number
That prick should be bowing to levy for paying £50m for Johnson , which was £20m too much .
Technically no NDA needs to be signed.
Per Premier League rules all contracts are confidential unless both club and player agree to allow details become public by written agreement. That is a mandatory clause within every contract.
When you see salary numbers of players, these are purely estimates, they haven’t been released by anybody for example.

Forest doing all this as pr for their fans
They are happy to get the 60m
i do think forest are doing irreparable damage to their reputation with this whole fiasco regardless of what the outcome is. no one will do a release clause with them again and i'm guessing these are more common with smaller clubs chasing better players.
It wouldn’t be void. Forest can still enforce the terms of the contract over the player.If the NDA is breched by the player then what exactly is the point of having a clause in the first place?
"OK Morgan, we agree to put a release clause in your contract but you can't tell anyone about it otherwise it's void"
It’s impossible to know what confidentiality terms have been included. For example, a clause stating that where the release amount is leaked, any associated bid based on that leak does not need to be entertained. Forest might be trying something along those lines to claim the release clause is invalid and raise the price.
It’s all bullshit and bluster.
Thankfully, basic common should prevail. Players always hold the upper hand. If he wants to go, he’ll go.
There is not, can not, and will not be any settlement. Forest have made that crystal clear.
Doesn't make sense because it would be pointless having a clause in the first place and it would be entirely stupid if they signed that agreement knowing that any potential deal could get scuppered if they blagged about it to other clubs.
Not really, because a club would be obliged to tell player a bid has been received and they can negotiate if it is met, assuming player hasn’t broken contract for it to be met.
If bid is under release clause or if there isn’t a release clause club can just refuse it and not even mention to player if that is their desire.
It is a way for player to get a pathway to a bigger club if they prove their worth and achieve good offers, but they have to abide by the contract also
not pointless. it's a threshold not a price tag. club agrees to sell if bids cross the line and player agrees to not reveal the number. i could see that reasonably being agreed to
