To use your eBay analogy, perhaps the release clause is simply a reserve price... Only offers over xx can be considered.
Improbable yet possible I guess..nothing would surprise me in the crazy world of football dealings.

All the furore thus far though has involved allegations of 'illegal approach' and breach of confidentiality, nothing about release clause figure not being met. This is more around how we found out about it.
 


Imagine if Leicester flat out refused to sell despite the release clause

Fair enough! I guess if the transfer go's through eventually, all will be revealed?
Liverpool had to apologise to Southampton for VDV and rumours of a payoff.

As it is i don't think we have done anything wrong but enforcing a contract between other parties would be difficult. In my amateur mind the player needs to complain to the FA as they are breaching the terms of his contract.
 
Just getting some news coming in....

What I can tell you at this moment is a decision will be made on the proposed transfer.

Will keep you updated as I hear more. Even posting this publicly is putting my neck on the line.
 
Convinced the last 100 pages on this thread are the same identical posts. Not complaining as I've contributed massively to it and have repeated myself numerous times. Just a frustrating saga that has had no update in nearly 7 days.

Looks like no update again today and the same type of reports doing the rounds. I'll try and sit it out today if I can.
 
Cutting to the chase, the only solid info we have (if you believe The Times) is that NF have reported us to the EPL for not asking in writing to contact MGW.
Knowledge of buyout clauses etc are red herrings.
The EPL has to decide if we have contacted the player illegally.
