I'm just curious, would folks here advocate for us bidding above the release clause to try and make this deal happen?
I'm happy to add a tenner to the pot.I'm just curious, would folks here advocate for us bidding above the release clause to try and make this deal happen?

Absolutely. Not to mention they run a gambling company in tandem with a news company that drives gambling.A big part I'm sure what Sky trying to turn it into a soap opera twice a year.
Remember when we were gonna sign Kluivert and it was all over Teletext? I'm sure there was a wum there!It was no different way back when. Teletext page 225 for spurs, I think it was. "TeamTalk" premium rate numbers "Estonian international in talks with spurs" and it was almost always bullshit to make you pay £1/min
Used to be a highlight to getting home and checking the 'gossip'
Depends how much.I'm just curious, would folks here advocate for us bidding above the release clause to try and make this deal happen?
This is my feeling on it, and my guess of Levy's feeling on it.Sets a dangerous precedent if you let him bully you into paying more

Will be complete shambles in here. "JUST MOVE ON ITS BEEN 12 MINUTES!!!!!"Morgan Gibbs-White is keen on a move to Tottenham. More clarity of whether this move will go ahead or not will be revealed late next week.[

Late next week? This thread will be on 400 pages by then!
Sky sold 80% of Sky Bet in 2015 and the remaining 20% in 2019, so they no longer have any financial interest in it.Absolutely. Not to mention they run a gambling company in tandem with a news company that drives gambling.
Should be illegal, really.

I'd rather stick a 5% sell on clause, or something similar in there that we can use to fcuk them off in the future with.

A great example of reverse psychology being applied by both sets of fans.The majority of Forest fans on their forum think it will get done with Levy paying more then the release.
Me too if it was from one of those cranes you see walking from Tottenham Hale to the ground.
My Bad

Sorry Matt for years I believed Sky only own 20% of Sky Bet and are allowed no invlovement in running it. The other 80% is owned by the same company that owns Paddy Power and Bet Fair.Absolutely. Not to mention they run a gambling company in tandem with a news company that drives gambling.
