P3te Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 It makes no sense because a release clause is a set fee. Chelsea bidding more than Wolfsburg doesn't stop them from talking to Benteke provided they met the set fee. Doesn't Benteke have a say in it though? Just because someone meets the fee, doesn't mean we have to sell. We don't have to accept the bit, if the player doesn't want to go. For instance if Stoke bid £32.5m, that doesn't mean he's going to sign for them. We DO have to accept the bid, the player doesn't have to move though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Someone has said elsewhere that if potential owners have exclusivity on a bid for us, then we can't sell or buy any players whilst it's in affect. If true we know Benteke will be here for a while longer yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true we know Benteke will be here for a while longer yet. Sounds about right, he'll be classed as an asset and part of value of the club, no deals in or out for a while, unless it's a barcelona-esque transfer embargo in which case we're free to do whatever we want 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skarroki Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Pretty sure we can still buy and sell. They are granted access to our accounts, to see incomings, outgoings and forecasts. Those accounts will change weekly you'd have thought, whilst they have access to the accounts I'd imagine they can still change, it's just that they can view those changes. Aren't players just staff members effectively? Surely we can fire and hire in other areas of the business. Why not the playing staff. If someone in hospitality hands in their notice is it rejected until the business is sold? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Generally after a takeover the new owners like to make a statement of intent. Now I don't think for one minute that Benteke will still be here next year but you would of thought any potential new owners would at least make a good offer. Last thing they would want is the star asset sodding of the minute they walk through the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, you would have thought a sale is unlikely in the middle of a takeover bid, unless it was discussed with the potential new owners and their permission was given on the values involved.

El-Reacho Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 That transfer embargo thing can't be a rule - if this takeover ran over the whole summer and we couldn't buy anyone we'd be relegated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Probably could explain the 6 week period, it ensures if the takeover doesn't go ahead that the club can still push on and sign players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Reacho Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I definitely think there will be incoming and outgoing activity within the next six weeks. If Liverpool come in for Benteke we can hardly just say sorry I know we have a clause but no ones getting in or out until six weeks are up. We could miss out on everyone of Sherwood's targets in that time. I'd be very surprised if an embargo is in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troon_villan Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 He's too inconsistent to be called world class imo but he's far too good to be fighting relegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 As far as I know the window opens on July 1st, but players can agree to sign for club before then, like Milner has done with Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
