I think any sell on clause was valid for only a specified time, eg, 2 weeks from the opening of the transfer window. I read that any transfers to Atletico were going to occur after this period to avoid paying spurs anything.

i could be wrong though because I read a lot of crap about Spurs!

Why would anyone ever agree to that clause, though? It would literally never be triggered.

The whole saga is bizarre!

I guess Spurs were overly confident that he would sign immediately.

I think that the simple answer is that they're wrong.
Betis' President talked about the clause:
“In short, if there is a transfer in which there is a capital gain for Betis, Tottenham would have a percentage of it. There is also a purchase option for them, but it would be high and positive for us if it were to happen.”

There's just no way that Levy would accept a clause for part of a transfer window.
He'd know that Betis would just agree to the sale and put it back a couple of weeks.
No buying club would deny them that. It makes no sense.

In the past few months he'd won the league with Liverpool, the Nations League with Portugal and married the mother of his three young kids.

To die in such a shocking and horrific manner just seems cruel.
To add insult to injury, he was traveling to Santander to take a ferry back to Liverpool.
He'd had a minor operation and was told not to fly back, as it could be detrimental to his health.

RIP Diogo Jota and Andre Silva.
 
It hits you hard because:
1. He's a young, fit and healthy athlete in his prime - the least likely group to die and
2. You feel a connection because, to an avid football follower, you feel like you know him personally, even though he's a stranger.
Can't imagine how I would have coped had I been alive at the time of the Munich Air Disaster

I was 11 at the time Luke and collecting footballer cards. The loss of the United players had a massive effect on everyone even non football fans. The loss of so many young athletes at once was even more felt because I had pictures of them. It all had an air of disbelief and amongst my first experience of what death really meant.
