Can’t see what we would offer any more if … if there was a release clause

The fee triggers his release
But if that release is all tied up with who knew what, when, and how that info was used, and complaints to the PL, if a few £M more gets rid of all that and gives Frank the player he wants, then it might be worth it, annoying as it might be.

But if we have done it right… call their bluff
They valued him at £70m
According to rumours
They think that’s the fee

Disagree. You don't let people mug you off. Otherwise everyone will. You end up being a mug.
If we feel we haven't done anything wrong see it out for better or worse.

I don't think we should pay their £70M valuation and I don't think we would ever let ourselves be mugged off.
We can of course let it play out and see what happens but imo that only works if we know it will be dealt with in a timely matter (and I assume we would have some indication from the PL as to the timeline - if it seems reasonable, then yes, roll the dice and see what happens.).
It's about value rather than cost. There are multiple ways that a deal can be structured to allow both parties to come away happy (or relatively so).

I’m a buyer for a living … well director now with a large team in a multi multi $B company
I would never ever let someone get away with a deal if we had done everything right and met the terms. I’d be after blood
The issue here is clearly that they don’t want to lake their best player big fudged up with his contract (been there many times). The key is they haven’t been able to get new terms and that’s a message itself to them
I think there is an arrogance on both sides and it really needs (if we did meet the clauses) MGW to issue a transfer request under protest and he can then pursue Forrest independently for his cut
Sorry if I sound like a dingdong

Or you have a plan b.

It's not about one player. It's about how other clubs deal with you.

Utd are fudged because they kept over paying.

This. If he wants to come, he can make it happen, as Berbatov etc did when they wanted to leave. If he doesn't want to come, we need to move on...

I disagree, the ball is well and truly in Levy's court. If we've met the release clause and didn't tap him up/ do anything wrong a simple letter requesting the release of MGW as per his contract to both Forest and the EPL should be sufficient.
Otherwise take Forest to court for breach of contract
