This is 100% what Marinakis is hoping for. He's stalling as much as possible in hopes that another club comes in with a bigger offer. Or so that he can convince MGW to sign a new contract.

Yeah he’s hoping to get this sorted amicably, but don’t expect things to stay that way if a move doesn’t progress.
He’s got his heart set on a move.
I think he leaves Forest regardless. The bridges are burned. The fans want him gone and the player wants out.
There is precedent set in the premier league -
In 2002, Liverpool Football Club was fined £20,000 by the Premier League for an illegal approach for Christian Ziege, who was then at Middlesbrough. Ziege himself was also fined £10,000 for his part in the transfer. Middlesbrough had claimed Liverpool illegally approached Ziege, who had a release clause in his contract, and that they could have sold him for more than the £5.5 million Liverpool paid. Middlesbrough also sought further compensation.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- The Allegation: Middlesbrough alleged that Liverpool made an illegal approach to Christian Ziege, a player under contract, without their permission.
- The Premier League's Finding: The Premier League found Liverpool guilty of making an illegal approach.
- Fines: Liverpool was fined £20,000, and Ziege was fined £10,000.
- Middlesbrough's Claim: Middlesbrough argued that Liverpool's actions deprived them of a higher transfer fee and potential revenue from Ziege's sale. They sought £2.5 million in compensation.
- Legal Action: Middlesbrough considered taking legal action against Liverpool in the High Court to pursue further compensation.
- Ziege's Perspective: Ziege himself admitted the situation was a "mess" and that he didn't like how it unfolded,
yeah but then Ciy went and signed Reijnders instead so no longer want MGW. We bid the magic number.
Don't think it works like that. If the other clubs want to hijack then they will all offer the same 60m and let the player choose.
Paying the extra money makes no sense if 60m is all thats needed and Forest are then oblidged to sell. At least thats how its meant to work!
Guy is a fat useless cunt. Does he even have the right to live in the UK?
I hope you’ve not joined for any kind of warm welcome or nuanced debate, because if you have, you’ve taken a wrong turn my friend. We eat our fucking young on here. Although, you’ve lasted longer than most cunts from rival clubs. Seem to recall we’ve got a couple of wee house trained pets from Leicester and Newcastle, but most are spun out of here quick smart.
I don’t think we’ll keep you around. Just don’t get that warm and fluffy feeling from you. Sorry.
No the deal isn't dead.
You might need to be the one to let it all go this summer.
He still signed for Liverpool.
Pay the fine, get on with it.
Same way our deal with Cardosa got leaked. Once the player decided he wanted another club and not to join us then we were snookered despite having an NDA/ first refusal or whatever the cool kids call it
Where is Morgan Gibbs White?
When he changes his name by deed poll to Morgan Lily White you will know he has signed, female names for men nothing new.
If the Spurs deal collapses, now everyone apparently knows the release clause.. can nobody bid the release clause?
Is this fat Greek allowing players low release clauses because he knows he can fat cry his way out of ever honouring them?
If Chelsea decide they want him next week and bid 60m, then this confidential release clause has been leaked and fatty will take fat legal action against them?
His skins like leather. Like a crocodile. Fat crocodile, fat cunt.

Charles Bukowski is the ‘Bukkake of Bad Poetry’, just blowing his junk around.
Yup - that's what the FGC's hoping for.
I can't see this happening now tbh
We've pissed them off too much and the release clause obviously don't mean jack because he would be having his medical by now
