not all players have release clauses tho. It’s only mandated in Spain due to Spanish employment law

I was getting at more of the fact that Dortmunds model isn’t to dissimilar to ours just on a completely different scale. They’ve had some huge deals in the past and wondering how they balance not standing in a players way (I don’t believe we are with Jobe) and getting value like Haaland, Sancho and Bellingham etc.

Bit of speculation here but it seems like the mighty mark has been hawking around the 25+5 to many German clubs knowing full well that was if we stayed in the championship.
 
Might not be Speakman’s choice. It’s his relationship… not KLD’s.

KLD is big enough and ugly enough to hold out for the 40m euro if he sees fit. Personally I don’t think he will. But KLD isn’t somebody I’d second guess.
I agree with you though. KLD in his first interview called people who still owned a decent % of the club asset strippers. He won't be arsed about relationships and it would probably save Speakmans relationship with the Bellinghams if he can just blame his boss:emoticon-0140-rofl:

wouldn’t be surprised if Mark has told the clubs we’ll be a pushover and now they’re finding we aren’t

complete side point but lets just look at power dynamics

weve got speakman, an employee at a big club in a big league

the bellinghams, with generational wealth and potentially evolving their 2nd generational talent, on a pathway to two brothers in the england side

and KLD, from massive, unfathomable, egregiously opulent hereditary wealth, the former cant come close if he digs his heels in

The very fair release clause he has is enough to not turn younger players off about coming here no matter how this plays out.

no but the media narrative that Jobe wanted to move to Dortmund, we verbally agreed a fee we’d sell him for but then went back on it, might. Even if we all know that isn’t what’s happened

Wouldn't read too much into it. There was that price in the winter window as a championship club and we clearly want more now as a premier league club.

Will end up somewhere in the middle.
This. I want him gone now simply because he wants to go so we’ll nail a deal but I applaud KLD or whoever it is on this one because they are a case rich club and we want to be there with them. We won’t by caving in. Personally the sell on is the extra if want. They’ll make their killing from Real Madrid or city or similar for daft fees if he gets there and I’d like a healthy % if so.
 
I know we hate him but remember when Methven said we aspire to be like Dortmund, and I think that was a fair comment. Well here we ****ing are and it was no thanks to him.
