The 100m less players bonuses for winning CWC will help them quite a lot.
Wouldn’t be surprised if they made a profit last season, sold quite a few players for reasonable value that would have been pure profit (remember any new player get amortised)

If it were THAT simple there's absolutely no way on earth MGW would have ever set foot in Forest's facility again, his agents would drop him as a client before he did that. It would be trivially easy to legally enforce the contract if Forest were purely fictionalizing easily disprovable nonsense.
There's some sort of complexity there somewhere.
Feels like there's a new fake ITK account daily now spouting absolute waffle, always still gets posted here though
This Summer has been mental for fake ITK's
BFG is threatening to make it ugly. he's going to throw as much shit at the wall as he can and force a protracted legal fight he's betting mgw won't take. maybe there's something that he can use against the player but i doubt it. he's going to make mgw make himself into a pariah to get out of the club. that's his play here
It’s similar to the Twilight Zone.
Complete fiction
The threat that was supposedly made against MGW legally is rather odd too, what will they do exactly? Fine him? Sue him? What good will come of that other than his form for them dropping like a lead balloon with resentment?
Kind of insinuating he himself made us aware of the clause.

If it is stipulated in the contract that the clause was not to be disclosed, I guess Forest could possibly argue that element of the contract has now been negated.
Haven’t seen that they have threatened MGW directly, in fact they are doing everything they can to keep him so doubt they have.
Now they have put his agency (which by default is an extension of him) under possible action notice, but I don’t think MGW takes that as a threat against himself.
That would be an incredibly stupid thing to do. CAA Stellar is the biggest agency and is part of CAA which also includes Base. If they fuck them off that is several billion pound worth of players no longer available for Forest to buy.
No clause in any contract can be disclosed. All contracts have many standard clauses, but one is no part of contract can be disclosed without both parties (player and club) agreeing in writing.
Whenever you see player salaries for example, it is not because they have been disclosed, they are just estimates.

Clearly the brief from the club for him to put out but wtf does that mean in reality?
If it means just waiting around for the situation to change, then why not focus on other deals
I think people totally overestimate that.
CAA players would still go to whoever offers the most money or their players would be looking for other agency.
BFG is going to make MGW fight his way out and alienate the fans. that's his play here
Not sure, if the agency got sued they would need to be incredibly forgiving to not let that impact the situation and unless a player was determined to go to Forest the agent would probably have a big say in the matter. The bigger problem is the release clause though, if you try and null and void a contractual obligation both players and agents would think twice. If I was a player I certainly wouldn’t entertain a club that flakes on its obligations.
I meant if the clause has been disclosed to Spurs from MGW's agent, then I guess Forest could argue that disclosure has now effected the validity of that element of the contract. I cant think of anything else that the they could argue against.
