Here is something to try. I have just asked Alexa " how many goals has Erling Haaland scored " The answer I got was " this season Erling Haaland has not scored any goals for Manchester City in the Premier League " Unbelievable Jeff!

Clause or no clause who knows ?

People seem to think the British press/media will persuade Haaland to leave as soon as he can.

Haaland and his team will make his own decision.

Why do people worry and give the press/media time ?

It's odd that the worlds biggest star playing in the biggest league, yet the press/media want him gone lol.

If Haaland had signed for the red tops this wouldnt be a story. Just ignore the press/media. Turn the match on at ko time and off on the final whistle if you arent at the match :)

When we go to games its oasis on in the car there and back. We have seen the game dont need talksport or 5live to tell me what I should be thinking !

Agree with this. If Erling and his team gave two shits about what the media have to say he wouldn’t be here in the first place.

Last desperate throws of the red top shills.

If we win the Champions League then the media is done. It's over. Everything they have wished for and worked extremely hard for in trying to stop us for the last decade has been futile and they know it. They will have nowhere else to go and as a club, team and fan base we can just laugh in their faces at their pathetic desperation. They know that day is not that far away now. Hence this load of old complete utter bollocks from them.
 
Today, the BBC finally reported on our match last night at 9.43 this morning following reams of reports about Chelsea, England Ladies, England right full back, Mo Salad and others.......
To them, in Salford, it's not news that we are the first team to qualify for the knockout stages of the cl, Halaand being benched for only scoring 1 goal on Saturday, 3 var decisions and no goals scored!!

Exactly. He was in a position to negotiate whatever he wanted last year and City would have no choice but to offer him one. All the big names have them - not only does it give him the flexibility to leave, it keeps his salary high when he does. There are no guarantees that City are still what they are today in a couple of years. It really doesn't matter one little bit.

Pep has said there isn't a clause.

To be fair to Pep (which the media will not be) I thought he was careful to say there was no specific release clause for Real Madrid which was the question he was asked. I would have thought though that general release clauses are probably routine for all the biggest players. The key thing though is that the decision on whether to leave will end up with the player and Haaland can stay as long as he likes.

Usual stories in the run up to a game v a red top.
We will get the usual injury hit Dippers soon as they have a few injuries but be zero mention of Walker, Stones and Phillips injured.

Back to The release clause, it was reported when he first signed so no major revelations and I half expect him to renew his contract and have it removed before it’s due anyhow, but if it’s 150 to 200 million then only a few few teams can afford that and we at least triple our money after having him for a few seasons.
 
If Pol Balus is saying there is a clause, there is a clause.

He’s at the Athletic because he’s good friends with the Catalan heirarchy at the club and they brief what they want out there through Peps assistant (Estiarte?) to him
 
Dont get why people are having a hissy fit over a release clause. It protects both the club and they player. We are well known not to keep unhappy player anyway this just allows the club to say the fee is set at whatever the clause is pay up or move on. it also protects haaland for example if were not in champs league or winning things ect. dont see an issue with it personally.

There will be more clauses than the "journalists" can count (on both sides), there will be similar on every single contract signed including the youth team players signing their first contract. Why people get worked up about it is beyond me.

It's extremely naive of anybody to think there's no release clause.
