He chose the club that was closest to his heart, and even though he won nothing at Newcastle he said he had no regrets. Man Utd fans were spitting nails, they had no comprehension about the love a player can hold for the team that’s in his blood. Always respected Shearer after that. Feel we’ve got a player like that ourselves now. Well done Jack Great Post ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs will really have to break the bank for Jack now. Probably in the 90-110 million range. This is very well played by the club. Hopefully there's no buyout clause. I expect there to be a relegation clause (but not a shit one) and hopefully nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also said that it's significantly bigger than the one in his previous contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess it will have come down to what jack and his agent will have felt was appropriate and realistic, has to be at least £80M. I wouldn't expect US to put a minimum fee release clause in. I might expect Jack and his agent to ask for one, and us to have had to compromise and put one in, but if we're voluntarily putting one in then we're doing it wrong Edited September 15, 2020 by Stevo985 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an hypothetical example. I just can’t see Jack signing a 5 year deal without one, irrespective of how much he loves it here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a relegation clause with a specific fee I'd expect it to be lower than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was being tongue in cheek/pednatic I agree with what you've said. I hope it's just a relegation clause, but wouldn't be surprised if there's a release clause in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I think I'm as happy today as I was on the afternoon of the PO final. **** love the bloke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icouldtelltheworld Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 What I love about Jack's interview is his honesty about not being sure if he was going to stay with us. He is clearly ambitious and has been convinced that the club can match his ambitions. We've been losing our better players (often to Man U!) my entire life - this really feels like it could be a massive turning point for the club 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted September 15, 2020 Moderator Share Posted September 15, 2020 Ultimately United started the summer with targets and couldn't afford to buy them. That's fine with me, I'm not a United fan and I'm very happy that we've been able to retain our Captain. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
