It's almost like a prospect player (Murphy or Stokes) and taking a punt on Future development. The thing is he will be thrown straight in as a sink or swim option.

Well then it's not a release fee in the true sense because you would only need to meet it, but then ensure your offer to the player iro personal terms was stronger than your competition. Something very weird. It's not a release fee at all if the club are not compelled to accept an offer which simply matches it.

BrightCiderLife Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 On the release clause and whether it’s odd that it may (or may not) have been exceeded. Obviously all clauses can vary for one contract to another but I’d expect it to be worded along the lines of the club not being able to refuse an offer in excess of or equal to £X. Obviously the club can only accept one offer. If another club comes along and offer £X, the selling club may wait to see if anyone else will come in, if they doing, there’s no reason they wouldn’t offer £X+1 etc (until one of them gets to a number no one else is willing to pay).

That’s not true re only accepting one offer. The reality is that the offer is only accepted upon conclusion of a transfer. Terms may be agreed ‘in principle’ which will mean the selling club will grant the player permission to meet the buyer and hopefully negotiate personal terms. Or even a club could grant that permission whilst terms of the transfer are still being ironed out - that is typical on deadline day for instance; and puts the seller in a strong negotiation position because the player and their representatives could pressure the buying club into meeting the seller’s terms. I suspect what happened here is rovers made an offer above the release clause but the terms were exclusivity to talk to the player over a short time frame. IE our offer is £x more but we want 48 hours to conclude the deal, if player talks to another club our offer is reduced to £y. 1 hour ago, BrightCiderLife said: Obviously the club can only accept one offer.
