It’s never been in dispute that the release clause was activated the dispute/doubt is when the contractual release clause was effective from, without being 100% sure but believing Simon Jordan & his sources I think at the earliest the clause could have been triggered is in the summer but in order for the transfer to be completed earlier we waivered that & received an excess on top. It’s never been in dispute that the clause was activated it’s when the clause was effective from.
If the clause wasn't effective in January it can't be activated

The waiver was the mechanism.

So the clause wasn’t activated, NUFC just offered £5m more and we said “ok then”?

Seems much more likely that the amount they bid was what the release clause stated and thus activated, as the clubs said in the press release announcing the transfer and Dyche said in the press conference.

Ok then, people are just making stories up for absolutely no reason coinciding with us desperate for cash that sounds far more plausible.

Yes, I get that.

But what are these false tales, and who's making them? You mean the club saying the clause had been met, then Dyche repeating as much in every press conference / interview since? How do you know these are false?

Yet you believe Simon Jordan and Talksport who have nothing to back up their own claims.

Well apart from SJ & the people in & about football, CW when questioned about the release clause refused to clarify
if it was active or summer triggered, I don’t see why anybody wouldn’t clarify if it was just a straightforward active activation but on the other hand summer triggered I can perfectly understand the refusal, dyche hasn’t mentioned anything about the release clause apart from that it was activated which hasn’t been in any dispute in any shape or form. Maybe I’ve missed SD specifically saying that the release clause wasn’t effective in the summer.

Just accept you backed the wrong horse in Jordan.

This is as dumb as your "alleged" stance on not going to games due to kneeling to 3 seconds prior to kick off or your wish for the public to decide a criminals punishment.

I've not seen anything that I'd regard as conclusive from SJ or anyone else on that side of the argument, but I have seen unequivocal comments from the club that state NUFC offered an amount that triggered the clause in CW's contract that meant he could listen to them and decide, and off he popped.

It's either activated or it isn't, none of this farting around with mechanisms or whatever else. It seems you absolutely are disputing this point.

It was activated before it should have been & waived in return for an higher fee I don’t understand what’s difficult to grasp?

I refer you to my earlier post. The club, Dyche and Wood all confirmed the release clause was activated. Here's Wood saying it

That’s never been in dispute it’s when the release clause was effective from.

It was effective when he was sold. That's how it was activated. If it hadn't been activated, nobody would be talking about a release clause.

Of course. Been about 40 years since I've played that game, no wonder I'm rusty.

The difference is this.

If the release clause was activated, then the release clause was met and we had no choice to sell.

If the release clause did not apply during the current window, then there was no active release clause at all. the release clause was not activated, and Burnley sold because they wanted to.

I think what you might have in mind is that Newcastle agreed to pay the sum of money mentioned in the release clause. That is irrelevant to this discussion. The point at issue is whether Burnley had a choice of whether to sell or not, and for that point, it makes no difference whether Newcastle offered £100m or half a crown.
