Cheshire Mag Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Wonder how much his release clause is? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Day Gadgie Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 It's most likely revised financial terms/wages or whatever. Given that he signed a contract last year that would've ran to 2023 making him sign another 6 year deal to maximise his transfer fee doesn't make that much sense. But nothing does under Ashley. I would imagine it’s an almost identical contract with an increased relegation clause fee. Lascelles probably gets another 20k a week for signing it in the meantime.

Paully Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Seems bizarre this when he only signed a new six year contract 13 months ago?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Wonder how much his release clause is? 40 million and Mike Williamson coming back to cover until the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odear Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Interesting. It’s either a gesture to boost moral with the squad or.. he knows something we don’t. Or there’s the possibility he has no ambition and has just settled for being squad captain here, has no interest in winning titles and just wants to pick up a decent wage until he’s well into his 30’s. (which in itself is a smart move if financial security and family stability is important) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Has to be release clauses. Either a standard release or a relegation release that we now feel is too low. Probably relegation since we might not have thought we'd be in bother. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 It's sad, because in a perfect world, or at least in a decent one under a reasonably ambitious owner this would be absolutely amazing news in so many ways. Would of been a massive first step in the right direction, yeah should of been... It's just meh, whatever now, unfortunately Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I have to be cynical, there’s a video accompanying it with him buttering up home support - it’s no coincidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Another PR move by the club. They are worried about the upcoming protests, IMO. Make no mistake, Lascelles will be sold in the summer if we are relegated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Firmly believe this has come from the agent to make sure Lascelles is protected and can move on once we're relegated (this season or next, it's happening soon). Also could be spun by Ashley and Bishop to be a positive move but he's going no-one. They're quite happy to ensure a biggish fee when we drop to pay for the promotion push, the cycle is just continuing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiedean Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Got to be relegation release clause as its now looking very likely that we will go down Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Wasn't he really pushing for a salary increase too? Which is what Rafa was hoping to get done for him as well? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 No man, Jamaal. Do we really have to add him to the list as well? Sake. You could go absolutely anywhere, lad. Don't just sit there and enable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Hardly going to come out and say "Mike is a douchbag" Come on. He's quite clearly being instructed. We're getting into Pards' "that was for Mike" territory here. Speak out against protests, sure, we get that; Rafa himself has been saying 'the team needs the fans' for the last two-and-a-half years. 'Mike Ashley is a nice guy,' though? He might as well just be sticking his fingers up to the fans himself. He can get fucked tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
