Kamil Conteh

Quoted from Blundellite

Maybe the release clause only applied to Middlesbrough? Tbh he isn't that great anyway been struggling to get in a team lately on the verge of disaster. I'd take the money and rebuild with it

DA rested him the other week otherwise he’s the best midfielder we have on our books by a country mile. But he’s only just 21 so there are obviously areas he needs to improve and like all players he has poor games however, if he does move on he would leave a big gap and I would want any money his sale brings in to bring in two quality midfield players at this level.

Any deal would have to satisfy the requirements of both parties, obviously, so I doubt that anybody would be surprised at a young player, with high potential, insisting on a sell-on clause when joining a League 2 club on a three year deal.

However - and this is me speculating a bit - if I had been negotiating on behalf of the club, I think I would have agreed, providing that the clause only became active after the first year, thus giving the buying club (us in this case) stability for this season.  I don't see why the player would find this unacceptable, it wouldn't prevent a move in the January window if an offer came in which suited both the player and club.

Like I said, pure speculation as I have no knowledge or experience of footballer contracts, but it would be interesting to see feedback on this from anybody who has.

Quoted from Alan Buckley

A club has to offer the full release clause in full upfront and then we are obliged to accept the offer. Obviously conteh could still reject that club but we couldn’t stop him talking to them if they meet the release clause.


Also it would be beneficial for us that he did make a small step up first before a big club take a punt on him that way we are more likely to receive a substantial sell on fee from his next club rather than a big club coming in for him now and then him not making a second step up rendering our sell on clause redundant if that makes sense.

Get that, but I think my question is what actually triggers the release clause, your reply was a bit generic like reading a horoscope in the paper.

I mean, I’m not sure how else I can simplify it. If a club matches the release clause upfront then that triggers it? I’m not sure what else I can say 🙃

What is the release clause?

Isn’t the whole purpose of a release clause usually some kind of inflated amount? so to say that if you want a player you have to pay through the nose for it. It would be very ‘town like’ to have a sh1te release clause.

That depends on if you’re trying to convince a player to join you instead of a league 1 club. So you offer him a realistic release clause so that if he performs he can get a move up the ladder.

Does he play like a player that cost £200,000 in league 2 tho. That cost as a defensive midfielder in league 2 to a club who has let in 11 goals at home in 2 games.....just saying

What is the release clause?

Exactly!

Isn't there a sell on clause that the selling club can receive future fees if the player moved on numerous times as long as the future selling club also has the same clause?  Ah i'm probably getting confused.
