I think they should force the Owners to sell up and make it so anyone caught doing stuff like this has to give up there ownership of the club. Then the club should be fined, banned from making Transfers be points deducted and be banned from entering Europe. Can't keep letting these clubs and there Owners operate like this and keep taking the piss. When are UEFA and the FA going to make a stand and say enough is enough because this would be a good place to start.

Folski Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Just now, Okonokos said: I'd be amazed if he has a release clause in his contract. We're too well run nowadays to do things like that. He'd probably have a relegation clause but that's it. I would imagine he absolutely does have a release clause however it’s probably contingent on us being relegated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awol Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Just now, AvonVillain said: Sorry to even take part in this, but, Why would you ever ever admit your best player has a release clause? There's absolutely no benefit to us at all in doing so. Unless it's a secret from his agent who actually negotiated the contract, then stating it publicly makes no odds at all. Any interested club only has to ask his agent the magic words: "Does Jack have a release clause and if so, how much?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can’t be allowed to carry on like this, there should still be incoming punishment for everyone involved in the Super League BS too… With all the fuss last time, including the appeal, the pressure is only going to increase on City… Players would/should be wary of moving there… time to make an example out of somebody… Oh and, Jack isn’t going anywhere… He loves the club, will become an idol and we are on the up and are not about to stop or slow down… why leave now? We’ll do it the right way too… Edited July 25, 2021 by Jas10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if that's the case, I can't see NSWE putting a release clause in when there wasn't one before. It doesn't make sense to me. But who knows?

If they activate it then I'm sure he will be very tempted to leave. I'll say it again, He's not going anywhere.

useless Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 John Percy said that there was a significant release clause when he reported Grealish signing his new contract last summer, that might have been the only way to convince Grealish to sign a new deal. I don't think City would bid for him if there wasn't a release clause because we'd want a sum of money that even they wouldn't be prepeared to pay, I mean if you look at their current transfer record it's around £60m for Mahrez, without a release clause they'd have to more than double that to get Grealish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kjøttbacken Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Release clauses are a Spanish thing, where you need one in order to register with La Liga. The buying club will submit the bid to the Spanish FA, they do not even have to talk to the selling club. This is not the case in England which is why there are so few, if any, release clauses in the PL. I think it’s more of a dolled up handshake deal if Jack indeed has one.

Okonokos Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 15th September 2020. Not even a year ago. If he chose to leave now then the above is just a load of lies, quite frankly. If he was sold on the project of NSWE last summer then what has changed since? The only thing that has is that we had a very good season and advanced further than anyone expected us to. Shows the project is working so why would he change his mind? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep we were 8pts off of European Conference and 11pts of europa league. Elmo alone cost us 8pts. Getting Jack back would have proabnyl gave us 7 or 8 and we finished on a points total that most years means you finish 7th 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
