This is the key part that everyone is missing or forgetting, terms were initially agreed hence why we were allowed to book a medical for Gibbs-White and then Marinakis stepped in and put a stop to it.
He'll leave this window. He's agreed terms with us and rejected every contract Forest have offered. Forest can't afford for him to see his contract out. Next summer they'll be lucky to get £30m for him, and Marinakis looks an even bigger twat than he already does.

Not to be confused with the Spanish version which lots of posters have been quoting and completely muddied the waters these release clauses are inserted by one or both parties for a plethora of reasons including the one you've mentioned i.e. to protect the club. That could just as well apply to the player, the fact is none of us really know.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if MGW was a target last season and Ange told his fat Greek mate when they met weeks back that Levy was aware of his release clause.
You're right, but I think we're seeing a similar outcome. Aggressive denial of the clause plus a player who won't force the issue means NF will keep the player.
You realise that's all in your head?
Fucking hell some of you are wet.
Beat your chest.
We are Spurs.
We are in the CL
We ARE taking MGW.
Not often I agree with this bubble, but...
Yeah the right price is 60m…
But exactly as everyone guessed, Forest are just making a big song and dance to try and get more money than the clause.
That clause has obviously been known for a good while and nobody bit on it. City went elsewhere and got players in his positions for less, nobody else is giving them even the 60m.
yep I realise that.
So the release clause is irrelevant lol
This is all because they think he's worth way more than the release clause but they negotiated that price themselves in the first place.
That's tough shit and surely the PL will see through all this hot air.

Taken you off ignore for this post.
Ange is gone now, we can rebrand to Angemnesty International
I logged out for like 6 hours and it felt like 6 weeks!What happened to your self imposed exile from this thread?!
I get what your saying, but he is also refusing to sign a new contract , if he plays ball but lets the owners know he only wants to come to Spurs however he is professional and he will carry on training and do what is required all the while refusing to sign a new contract - what do Forest do then?
I think its a moot point anyway as i see this getting done before the weekend.
I'm so confused by this whole saga. It just feels like the Forest owner has gone completely rogue. How can they expect more money then the release clause? I just don't get it.
The confidentiality thing is such bullshit too. How naive can you be? This is the real world, not a fucking board game!
