Ashton on Delap release clause and 'well protected' line ... free to read on 10:31 - Jun 1 by only_one_sir_bobby | It could also have been a % of league starts being the milestone, as well as certain number of appearances total. So for instance, say part of the clause was to start more than 85% of league games, that would equate to 33 games. How many did LD start? 32.... |
Certainly possible. I would assume some of the clauses would have been triggered, so we will almost certainly have paid more than the initial £15 million. You'd have thought starts would have have been among the clauses and by the time he got to 32 some would have been triggered and goals probably another and you'd have thought 10 was an obvious trigger point. |  |
