I've read that Forest have been trying very hard to get MGW to sign a new contract without a release clause, for significantly more money. If they had any faith in the argument that it was a mere drafting error, those attempts would fatally hole that argument. They could simply have sought a declaration that the contract was to have contained the clause, if there was evidence to back that up.
Skyte Sports claim that Forest have sent legal threats to both us and MGW Really looks like they've decided MGW's agent squealed about the release clause and are hoping one of us hangs him out to dry The obvious fact they're missing is that release clauses tend to be public knowledge (i.e. Kudus' was public knowledge for weeks before we signed him, or we've been hearing about Benjamin Sesko's for what feels like a year) but Forest had a release clause that nobody knew about? That smells More than anything else, given the Mansourites were offering £100m for him in January, I'm certain this clause would have been truffled out around that time by somebody :::EDIT::: ...Skyte Sports also claim that we pretty much laughed at these threats and are biding our time
Anyway, in other news, Pete Hall at the Indy says we've bid for Genoa CB Koni de Winter Given he's a Juventus academy graduate, have to assume Paratici is advising this one
