Leicester obviously aren’t getting £50m for Maddison in the same situation didnt he have a release clause though? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

relámpago blanco Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 16 minutes ago, RobsonsWonderland said: My thoughts are We have spent the previous 15 years trying to find excuses not to spend money Now we have people in charge who are looking to develop and build from the ground up.. and will spend every penny available to get us there. Singing Dan Ashworth was always to develop and identify emerging talent at the best cost... Brighton use it to flip players and build their cost base, Chelsea, man city did it so they could sell youngsters to fund the ffp of the first team. Our early success has pushed us ahead of the plan and now we seem stuck between the two camps... Do we by talent for the future or first team for next year's champions league campaign. The latter might only be six games.. so maybe we are hedging our bets and going for the long term strategy. Investment is just required to be successful in the Champions League. It's so that the Champions League campaign doesn't affect our league form. We struggled to get over the line this season due to injuries and fatigue. We need cover as a minimum but I suspect to challenge for top 4 we'll need to add significant quality. Another few games and Liverpool would have pipped us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly the reporting around this seems a bit all over the place, so not entirely clear. Or perhaps any clause, and the subsequent fee, related to him only having one year left?

WilliamPS Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 the club will look to line up signings in each of the priority positions within a set budget, so we might hear nothing then 3 announcements at once. different players will get linked as the club test the valuations and salary demands to see if the jigsaw pieces fit. Names like maddison will come and go as the other positions get narrowed down, then when it’s settled I expect the deals to be done en masse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Think it was more a verbal agreement with the owner than an actual clause in the contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well short of actually seeing the contract with the clause in it I'm not sure how much more definitive it could be. All the most reliable sources (Romano, The Athletic etc) have reported the existence of a release clause. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucasol Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Listening to Simon Jordan this morning, he did call out he sees prices reducing as the glide path to 70% wages and transfer fee amortisation / turnover cap under FFP kicks in. He also cited protectionism of the establishment as a factor which shows we’re not all paranoid about the Cabal’s intentions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
