I imagine £18 million is the starting price, could go a lot higher?
Quick back of a fag packet calculation suggests somewhere around 3.25 million. By comparison that is less than the amount of the latest investment Hallett put into Argyle at the end of July.Yer tis, £18m buyout clause activated. Cash him in boys. Kerrrrrching.
What do we reckon to be ECFC's cut?
If this is true, then Brentford, and by association, us, will seriously lose out financially. However, if Ollie's perceived worth is say £25 million, he and his agent are major winners. This combined with the Chrisene rumour is extremely disappointing for City management, owners and supporters.Yer tis, £18m buyout clause activated. Cash him in boys. Kerrrrrching.

Presumably when Brentford offered Ollie his latest contract they were in a similar position to us with Jayden and he was refusing to sign unless the clause was included. I know we were all hoping for more but it still seems churlish to complain a 3 million windfall.If this is true, then Brentford, and by association, us, will seriously lose out financially.

As an aside, if £18m is correct and assuming were due 20% of the profit, I make it we get circa £3.2m. I'd bank £2.5m, add £700k to Taylor's playing budget and give him a fixed performance target of promotion for the coming season, with a review of his contract position, if he fails to deliver.
No. If it's a buy out clause, there's no need for any Club to pay more. Why would they?I imagine £18 million is the starting price, could go a lot higher?
If two clubs wanted him then surely to capture him they would offer more?No. If it's a buy out clause, there's no need for any Club to pay more. Why would they?
Why would any Club pay more than they have too? Brentford have to sell for £18m. They cannot say no. If multiple Clubs want him then they'll compete by attempting to offer superior personal terms, but no one will pay more than the minimum necessary.If two clubs wanted him then surely to capture him they would offer more?
Did he renew his contract since then, or maybe it was dependent on how many goals he scored this year.According to the BBC article there was a £10m clause last year, but it's now £18m. Why would it change?
