Will it be a set amount or could it be just a first option if we sell?
Obviously I hope we don't sell him ever! What a player.
That little passage of play in the second half where he reached what looked like a no chance long ball, got it under control, bounced the CBs off him, dribbled through three players and then laid it off to Omari was ridiculous.

There was a long thread on this the other day but I’m still confused as to what might happen. |  |

There is another thread and he answer is nobody knows.
But such a clause exists generally because selling club rates person highly and it was probably agreed to enable us to get him. Without it they either don't sell or request higher fee.
Based on that I imagine it will be favourable for City and anywhere between £35-50 million I would think. |  |

Thanks both. I'll seek out the other thread.
I noticed Pep talking to Delap for a while at the end of the City game.
Hopefully many more seasons in a Town shirt. What a player! | | | |

Most of the clauses (I think) are that they get the opportunity to match someones accepted offer | | | |

I don't think anyone knows. Normally 'buy back' implies there's a pre agreed figure at which we couldn't contractually reject an offer from Man City. Its been known in the past when players are performing well for clubs to trigger that, to either keep them, or just sell them straight on at a profit. I can't imagine its a small number though, presumably at least double what we paid. If I had to guess I would say something like £30m - £40m. City have a very good #9 already but young English centre forwards in Delap's mould don't grow on trees, so I would've thought they would be interested in triggering it tbh depending on where its set. It would also be up to the player to want to move, which if we stay up perhaps wouldn't be a certainty. |  | | |

Or a sell-on clause becomes null-and-void if another club bids so much more. For example the sell-on clause to Man City is [for example] £40 million but Juve makes a big of 10% more. |  | | |

Usually they would just have to match the highest bid. Villa did it with the guy from Hull we were trying to sign. They matched our £15-£18M bid, so had first option. Not saying the same applies with Delap, but most likely I think. |  |

Thats NOT a buy back clause. Thats a matching clause. |  |

It's absurd to say this but unfortunately i think he's going to be to good for us if that makes any sense at all.
Even if, sorry when, we stay up, he's going to get offers in the summer that neither him nor us as a club will be able to turn down. He is that good. He has so many facets to his game and the rate of improvment is scary. From hull to joining us, and then even from his first few games to now. Hes just getting better and better.
Enjoy him now as I think its odds on he may not be a Town player next season irrespective of what division we are in. |  |

But then, we have to look at that as a real positive.
We've developed him and benefited from having him in the team and financially when he moves on.
Exactly what we need. |  |

Sometimes there is potential to buy out the buy back clause. |  | | |

That could be an option, they're often time limited as well.
Ultimately its a good problem to have, and if he continues to add the value he has been so far and plays a huge role in keeping us up he'll have been an incredible acquisition. He might well move on to City or elsewhere, but would do so by delivering a profit on the fee and securing future revenues by way of increased parachute payments if we later go down, or hopefully an extended Premier league stay. Being forced to sell isn't ideal of course, but its part and parcel for most clubs in the land that everyone has a price. | | | |

Hard to believe with Ashton that we'd be done over on it but again it is Man City, so it's probably more favourable to them than we'd want, especially given that he has exceeded expectations and then some. For all his promise, I don't think may expected him to more than double or even triple his value before Christmas so who knows where the bar was set.
If Evans was still here, City probably would've been able to get him back in exchange for some corner flags. |  |

The reality is that it's going to be £40m, £50m, £60m if it's a particular sum.
Ashton is well aware that a good season in the Premier League is going to make him worth that, given he's young, English and a goalscorer.
Can't see that we'd sign him just to make £5m or £10m back potentially. Of course City may have held some of the cards here, but the very fact City would be interested suggests that he'd have to be a top player for them to be sniffing again, which means he's going to be costing top whack. | | | |

I also wonder if Delap might see himself better staying here. He can be no. 9 in a team that is hoping from strength to be strength. Go to Chelsea, City etc and there's no guarantee you play and far less support.
Plus you'd hope he realise that KM has improved him and he can continue to get better under him.

I think you're right, while City or Juventus would be a massive move, would he get much game time there? And would his style of play even fit with how Juve play?
Obviously we're biased, but he'd be much better off staying here and keep developing, as he's probably too raw for a top 4 Prem or big European team at the moment.
What a prospect though and if we do manage to stay up he will have had a massive role in that. | | | |

If those sort of clubs come calling you don’t say no. I think anyone not realising we are bottom of the pile now is painfully naive.
He will not only want to go, we will want to sell and use that to build the squad - that’s the model we will have to follow unless for some reason the ownership want us to be a yo-yo club. |  |

This argument gets used a lot when a club like ours has a star player.
But they always end up going. It's worth the risk from their perspective. |  |

A scenario could arise that Man City buy him back using the clause and sell him immediately for instant profit, for example if a club offered £60m and the buy-back clause was £40m. |  | | |

When Richard Wright went to Arsenal he was an England player. They put him into the reserves and his career went downhill from there.
He would have been much better off to stay another couple of seasons with us and become the finished product by playing week in week out.
So let it be with Liam. |  | | |
