That smells like a release clause to me.

Yeah good point. I think some release clauses do stipulate it has to be paid in one drop?

That's my thinking. It's definitely possible these are just agreed terms, but considering that we've heard a lot of talk about a release clause which usually (but not always) has a stipulation of being paid up front in one, and now we're hearing this news, it smells like a release clause.

It doesnt necessarily mean release clause. It just means we are guaranteeing Villa £100m without any add ons that have to be triggered by success etc.

If there really was clause this would bave been done ages ago.

I think if this bid is accepted it also reveals it’s a release clause. In these kind of sagas, with no clause, there’s usually a rejected bid or two so that they can show their fans they are fighting to keep him. If this just goes through fairly straightforward, that is another sign of a release clause I’d say.

Eh?
£100m upfront, no add ons
That's a release clause

Well why? If it was done ages ago we'd have had to pay hundreds of thousands in wages to Grealish before he even stepped foot in Manchester.

That smells like a release clause to me.

A release clause that would expire on July 31st?

 

[Rammy Blue]

No, it doesnt mean release clause at all. It means a fee agreed and we‘ve got the dough so to move the deal along we are paying up front.

I don't think so, but I don't really know so maybe.
