If we have tapped him up then Levy is also unprofessional. Thats the way football works these days.
Nottingham Forest, hells teeth the Forest is even sharing the same name as one of our idiotic ex managers. Sums them up.The owner has thrown his toys out his pram. Welcome to the premier league! The land of sharks. End of the day apparently Gibbs-White has told them he wants to leave and not renewing his contract. He wants to come to the bright lights of London and not stay in a city where they talk about robin hood all the time. Must get boring after a while.
THE POEMS ARE BACK!
Marinakis’s Meltdown
Marinakis weeps, Spurs got White cheap,
Fuming in Forest’s halls, no peace, no sleep.
He shouts at the squad, “Snitches get stitches!”
Suspects a mole, brewing dark glitches.
Levy just laughs, can’t hide his grin,
Watching the tantrum, waiting to win.
“Give more money!” Marinakis cries,
But Levy just wags his finger — wise.

Different position
Wordsworth would be so jealous.
They've been offering him that for the last year and he's kept rejecting it. Now that he's agreed personal terms with Spurs and made it clear he wants to leave forest, you think he might sign a new deal with them? Can't see it mate.
Who would benefit from having a specified fee that a player could not be sold for less than??
I'm starting to believe that he genuinely didn't know that there was a clause in the contract. That he either forgot or didn't read it through well enough when it was signed.
Because they're not mandatory in England the terms will be different from player to player based on what they negotiated when signing.
Which is why it's utterly pointless so many people on here talking like they know the deal.
They don't.
Only if there is no way out of Forest......this does happen sometimes, players who don't get the move they want end up signing a new contract.
how is there no way out? He has a release clause!
Walking away is exactly what Marinakis wants. Don’t give him what he wants.
Bullies never prosper
With respect, that's a pretty comical misunderstanding of what the release clause is for.
If Palace get an offer for at least £68m and Eze wants to go, the clause means they have to accept it. However that doesn't stop them selling him for less if they choose to. Sometimes a club needs money, sometimes a player loses form or doesn't hit the heights expected, there are many reasons why a club might include a release clause, but then later be happy to do a deal well below it rather than not do a deal at all.
You did in a subsequent post. I still think this would have been the case even if the transfer was straightforward. People are going to moan one way or another when you spend over £50m for a player regardless of how smooth or bumpy the transfer was.
Exactly. This sets a dangerous precedent and essentially makes any release clauses pointless, because selling clubs can just refuse to cooperate.
