The agreement is with the player and club, they can refuse to let him speak to us and other than go to the PL not sure Tottenham can do anything.

Its the player who will need to take action.
I find it hard to believe that Spurs only initially dealt with MGW and his agent to the extent they arranged a medical between themselves without any contact with Forest beforehand!
 
I reckon we're now letting the fat Greek cool off whilst also having multiple lawyers pour over the fine print to check and triple check.
It's what literally any prudent CEO would do. Make sure they don't have a point before getting that big old stick out and poking the bear again.
Djed has chipped in with words of wisdom...

I agree. I wonder if the problem may be simply that nobody told the Fat Alleged Greek, and when he found out he went apeshit? If that's the case, several NF employees will be quaking in their boots.
 
The clause is not a minimum price if the club actively want to sell the player. They can always accept less. It's more to benefit the player by setting a reasonable minimum price should the club not want to sell him.
I'm confused as to what you're trying to add here, are you continuing the line of thought that the other poster suggested, or are you trying to explain an actual release clause?

If the former, then save your words, that clause does not exist, if the latter, I know what a release clause is.

Release clauses are entirely there to benefit the player, and every single club would sooner not have them than have them. A player looking to use a club as a stepping stone to bigger things will not sign with a mid-table club without the assurance of a release clause for a fee that they deem reasonable, the best a club can do in that situation is talk the player into agreeing on as high a fee as possible.

I'm utterly baffled by the amount of people that seem to believe that a release clause is beneficial to the club, or that players can't be sold for less than them. If that were true then the Transfer Market in Spain would be totally stagnant.

I think this week's saga has done funny things to peoples brains with some of the notions speculated regarding MGWs clause and these clauses in general.
 
Better than Bazali Bazali and Bill Madrid Bill Madrid being intimate with dogs!

Wait, what!

That's ruff.

Maybe we're all barking up the wrong tree*

*The worlds first ever combined dog and Forest pun.
I went to my local zoo yesterday. It only had a single dog. It was a Shih Tzu.
 
Neither of us know that.
All we know is there is a release clause. The fact it exists opens the doors. We know no more than that, but the fact it exists means there's more to go on this.
We know there is a release clause in the players contract, the rest can be inferred.

Theybdo not have a contract with Tottenham. The PL can punish them we couldnt sue.
 
I keep reading that the fat prick will sell for less to another club.
We should just make a new friend and offer them £60m if they buy MGW for £40m. The rules state he can't play for more than 2 clubs in one season. Nothing says he can't register for 3.

Then watch his face drop when he realises he lost money for nothing.

This is not even unprecedented by the way.
QPR would not sell Clive Allen to Crystal Palace in 1980. So Arse bought him and then sold him to Palace.
