Stortz Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 The continual, desperate straw grabbing is just making them look even more tinpot, if that's possible.

Bristol Rob Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 10 minutes ago, cynic said: Not seen anything official about that. It may not stack up if tested, but as far as I'm aware, a club can exclude whoever they like - whether the player concerned agrees with it is another matter. Would have been better to say nothing and just let it go away, but I think it may be likely that the EFL had input like a teacher disciplining the kids - write this and behave yourselves. Would imagine the right to work is greater than any clubs right to refuse someone the chance to play for a specific side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if such a clause were included it wouldn't be legally enforceable. Very much doubt that the contract would be acceptable to any player, or even the football authorities.

Fiale Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 EFL clipped both clubs across the ears and told them to grow up and release a joint statement to draw a line under it - that's my take on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Sometimes clubs refuse to enact release clauses though it's incredibly rare. Liverpool Suarez Arsenal Summer 2013 is one such example, of a release clause- whether it was watertight or a gentlemans agreement is unclear... Liverpool quote on it was fairly remarkable though! Rare anyway Quote So why didn’t Liverpool accept Arsenal’s bid? “What we’ve found … is that contracts don’t seem to mean a lot in England – actually, in world football. “It doesn’t matter how long a player’s contract is, he can decide he’s leaving. We sold a player, Fernando Torres, for £50m, that we did not want to sell, we were forced to. “Since apparently these contracts don’t seem to hold, we took the position that we’re just not selling.” Some chutzpah that! And Liverpool seem to have form on this...apparently Firmino has a release clause which is open to any club except Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangadooer Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 I think we should be the ones complaining, I thought the 300 grand was for the entire first team, training ground, posts, balls and those silly tents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bianconeri Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 6 hours ago, Stortz said: Let me answer that for you: No you ******* haven't. Of course they haven't, they dropped the complaint when the EFL reminded them that they were the ones who'd mismanaged Taylor's contract and leaked the release clause into the public domain, so they'd be the ones who were punished if they carried on with the complaint.

LocoPal Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 We haven't coughed up any extra dough at all. instead, we've talked them down to a public flogging of LJ's bare buttocks, as he walks through Hoarfield, repeating the phrase, "I'm so sorry, It really is all my fault". All parties, inclusive of fans, blue and red alike are satisfied with this compromise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
