What's the point of a release clause if nobody knows about it or can be told about it? It completely defeats the purpose of it.

To me, this seems like pure performative bollocks because their fans have kicked up such a stink and I reckon Marinakis probably didn't even know about the clause.

I heard earlier on Talksport that apparently he is fuming with the previous Forest recruitment team for allowing the clause to be inserted.

So I reckon this is what it's all about.

It's caught Marinakis by surprise that their captain has a relase clause, which has been triggered, and he's kicking off about it.

He's an overly emotional bellend, but I don't see how there is a way they can stop the deal.

Essentially, yes.

To make it even funnier, according to Forest's forum Marinakis himself didn't know about it. And their old recruitment team snuck it into MGW's deal in order to get it over the line. And then just kept it hidden from him.

Once MGW gets over the line what do we still need and how many exits do we expect?

Obv a 6 is the glaring gap…
Poss a Left back too

I’d say that’s it. Imo Richarlison will stay as back up ST

Son, Bissouma, Davies, Solomon, Gil will sold if we can find a buyer

Loans for Phillips, Yang, Scarlett Devine etc

The midfield being average does not automatically mean that the players individually are average though.

Look at the old England midfield containing Beckham, Gerrard, Lampard, Scholes etc. All good players, shite midfield.

In which case I would have said despite being quality in their individual right, so clearly am issue of not getting the balance/combinations right.

I honestly think k Levy is too clever to have done anything wrong and let’s be honest Forest’s owner is a complete nut job, he’s just annoyed that whoever agreed to that clause when MGW signed made an error, he’s should have been more on the ball himself.

True just don’t like the idea that someone else could nip in and try agree with Forest

Agreed.

One is an incredibly professional, shrewd businessman. The other chairman is a fat plate smashing cunt who storms the field after a game to confront his manager/players because he can't control his emotions.
