The reporting just gets more and more frustrating.

A second offer from Tottenham of about £65m is thought to have been discussed, though not yet submitted, and it is unclear whether this would be enough to change Forest's stance.
@TomCollomosse

What does this even mean? Are Forest not oblidged to accept the 60m offer already submitted?

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.

You're saying the same thing with different words. In any case, my response was to the statement that a club would not accept less than a release clause, which is not true.

Ah fuck it...
