Which was his widely reported, by numerous different journalists, release clause. So that would be AT LEAST £250k 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry chief, your having a bit of a mare here, the release clause was 250k, the amount he was sold for is Undisclosed. Therefore he would of been sold for at least £250k 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bidding war can't take place when such a clause exists, as even if one club offers £1m and the other offers £250k both clubs get to speak to the player, so its up to him where he goes. Please though, continue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CowdenConvert Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Genuine question. What if a club rocks up and says they want to speak to Hemmings, Dundee say how much and they say £1m. Dundee say talk away.Hemmings agent then reveals the clause for less than that. Do they get to drop the offer? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 You think a buyer would talk to Dundee before Hemmings agent? Yes. Otherwise they'd be in breach of contract surely? I know it happens in football, but to allege that Oxford did it is unfounded and speculative. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the same way Aberdeen talked to Tanseys agent and were able to match his release clause to the exact number. It happens all the time, all over the world, to think its not happened here is naive. If its true Hemmings wanted a move south to be closer to family or that he's likely told his agent, whos spread the release clause about and Oxford have matched. Its utter shitehawk behaviour which should be punished, but its impossible to prove. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
