I think most comments were more along the lines of 'if it does exist' whether than 'it does'. I don't take anything I read on here or in the papers as gospel
Impressive strong words from Rodgers, showing the right mentality by saying we are a club on the way back and not looking to sell key talent.
Why are you all so hung-up about any clause in Suarez's contract? The value quoted is NOT the real issue. The real issue is what obligations do LFC have should any club offer the full monetary value. Now it would be an unfair contract term should LFC be forced to accept that figure just as it would be unfair to Suarez should LFC refuse to consider any bid. I strongly doubt that Suarez has the means to challenge seriously LFC's interpretation of the so called release cluse.
it was in the echo.... no clause. i aint digging back to find that one. nothing is going to happen on this for weeks.
You've just explained exactly WHY people are/were hung up about the clause If there is one (which there isn't) we're forced to accept a bid of that value, regardless of if we want to sell or what his value to us is. If there isn't (and there isn't) we can demand whatever we want and keep Suarez under his contract. Our only obligation, as such, is to do what's best for us - which is to keep Suarez as an LFC player unless a club makes an absurd bid for him. Clauses change where the power lies. All the power in this situation is with Liverpool and not with the player. As it should be. And no one found it odd that BR would run his mouth about a 40mill release clause to the press, but then tell them to keep it quiet? The shark must have been absolutely ****ered or playing games to let that info out.
Clause or no clause makes no difference, you need somebody to be interested first before any transfer can be speculated on.
Well at least the Fail are now, finally, tacitly admitting that the "£40m release clause" er, isn't a release clause... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...-join-Arsenal-Liverpool-want-50m-striker.html You'll note that the "Keen to join Arsenal" comment is unattributed, as usual.
