Why are Birmingham so dumb with their release clauses? We got Redmond for £3m and now Gray going for about 5m, the fans should be going mental at the owners.
sometimes release clauses are the only way that poo poo tier clubs like the bluenoses get players to sign new deals

i really hope good old boys txiki and khaldoon are standing outside platini's office, banging on the window, holding up pictures of de bruyne and sterling and laughing, sellotaping fifty pound notes to the glass whilst platini sadly crosses out FFP on his desk

I would unironically become a City fan if they did that and posted the video.

“I’ve always said Roberto will go to one of the top clubs in Europe and when that time comes he will leave Wigan with my blessing.He’s just a brilliant manager and he will get one of the top jobs in Europe. I don’t want to lose Roberto but it is inevitable he will climb the ladder,” said Whelan magnanimously.

Looks like noted racist Dave Whelan is a bigger person than Martinez.

Also I'm pretty sure that John Stones can buyout his contract for like £4m in the summer of 2017. Makes me wonder why more players don't threaten to do that as just the threat would probably force Everton to sell this summer or next.

I suspect that many players don't have millions saved up in their account yet and getting someone else (like another club) to front the money would invite too much scrutiny or is otherwise not permitted.

Also, didn't someone here mention that clubs so far have an unofficial understanding that they don't want to encourage players to go this route?

Looking at the rules a bit more, it's clear why you don't see more players buying out their contracts.

quote:

FIFA Article 17.5: Any person subject to the FIFA Statutes and regulations (club officials, players’ agents, players, etc.) who acts in a manner designed to induce a breach of contract between a professional and a club in order to facilitate the transfer of the player shall be sanctioned

quote:

FIFA Article 17.4: . It shall be presumed, unless established to the contrary, that any club signing a professional who has terminated his contract without just cause has induced that professional to commit a breach

I think some clubs, agents and players probably disregard those rules. Just like clubs today will talk to a player's agent prior to talking to the player's club without worrying much about tapping up sanctions. But it's clearly still a grey area.

Imho the two rules I quoted are rather dumb and anti-player. A player should be able to use the threat of buying out their contract to get a new deal or a transfer or they shouldn't be able to buyout their contract in the first place. It would be like if FIFA said that you can move on a Bosman after your contract is up, but you can't threaten to move on a free transfer next summer to try to get a transfer today.

The cool new thing to do is force a club to keep you after your contract has expired

Looks like Markovic is going to Gala on loan.

It's a big call that as we're going to be playing a lot of games this season but the guy obviously needs to play more so I think it's probably the right call.

Hopefully he gains some much needed confidence. Seemed like the main thing holding him back.
