Jason Cummings

[Tamhere1875]

Looking like it's not only Nottingham Forest who are interested in signing Jason seems there a few others showing interest to. Let the bidding war begin.

Can you produce some facts please.

QPR , Leeds and ANO

If we've already accepted a bid then the bidding war will be great for Cummings but don't see it impacting us much.

We decide who we sell to, not JC. Let the auction commence!

several clubs are in for chris wood, he very much played as the lone striker for Leeds last season and he is 6ft 3", if they plan playing same formation next season JC can't fill that role

Not entirely true. JC doesn't have to sign for anyone even if we agree a transfer fee. Failing to agree personal terms is a good example.....

[21sMay]

If there is a release clause then all they have to do is meet the valuation on the clause . Hopefully not though

Though not knowing exactly what goes on behind the scenes I would be very surprised if NL, LD/RP, or whomever, would not talk to JC and discuss possible options, assuming there is real interest in him that is likely to lead to an offer.

If there is a clause there will be no bidding war

I disagree, if there is one team interested and they meet the clause then yes we can't go demanding more but if some other teams join in then there is no reason Leeds won't/can't increase the bid above that of Forest and we play hard with the eventual winner of the 'bidding war' using the other teams as the bargaining tools

If there is a clause there is no way any club will pay a penny over that amount, if they want to ensure they get Jason they offer him more money not the club

[SouthsideHarp_Bhoy]

People seem to really struggle with the concept of a release clause eh!

Indeed.

As in the last debate, I'd doubt anyone outside of ER actually knows the specific wording of this so-called "release clause".

Haw you - leave them alone to slug it out. Cheers up a bleak Monday morning......

It isn't up for debate, if there is a clause then all bids of that price will be accepted with no choice of Hibs.

That's how I would see it going as well. Why would they pay us more money? Jason holds all the aces once any clause is triggered.

[jeffers]

You'd have to figure there must be a release clause otherwise why accept the first offer made for him ?

[HoboHarry]

So it's now been proved to the fullest extent that the law allows that there is a clause. Or maybe it's just yet another .net myth that's become a (ahem) FACT.........

Nothing from Hibs to say we have accepted any bid. Not denied either mind but Leann may be off on holiday.

Has anyone said there is definitely a clause ?

[KWJ]

And Hibs aren't going to renege on a deal that they've accepted. Other clubs could offer the same deal or structure it differently but if the Nottingham Forest's bid has been accepted then Cummings is free to talk to them and anyone else who has an accepted bid.

That's what I take from it too but why then did Lennon stop him and SJM from talking about their futures, he said it was the club that would decide as we hold their contracts. It certainly mixed messages, we either have total control or there's a buy out clause where we don't have control. If there's no buy out clause we knock back the first bid and see where it takes us. Confused with all this TBH.

Agreed, but OP in the other thread has a decent track record and Kenny Millar is usually reliable with his info.

She was in the country as of Saturday as she attended the Sco v Eng game.

What about the sanity clause?

[Leith's finest]

Would find it hard to belive a 500k clause in place when we knocked back a 1.8 mill bid a while back
