"One major issue with the buy-out clause is the belief that this type of clause would be unenforceable in the English courts. In English law, though the courts have allowed parties to pre-agree damages for a breach of contract, they have taken it upon themselves to limit the use of penalty clauses. The English courts have generally held that a clause imposing the obligation on the defaulting party to pay an extravagant sum for the breach of contract is a penalty clause and hence is void and unenforceable."


Several years old though, so may have changed to be honest & unlike you, I believe, I'm not an expert in the law. :-)
I think you meant 'unenforceable' rather than 'illegal'. Grealish had a £100m buyout clause in his contract but Villa initially refused to honour it. His agency - Stellar - negotiated with them and eventually they did honour it of course but it's questionable whether Grealish would've had a cast-iron case if he'd taken them to court had they not done.
 
Fair play to Melissa Reddy. Paid to travel the world to report on her beloved Liverpool for the biggest sports TV Network in the country impartially and with balance....

Who the fuck am I kidding. The network is nothing more than a PR channel for the Dips.
