Interesting though that via TWTD & EADT the club has put out its official position as 'nothing less than £35m' We would likely accept £35m after the deadline as well, so you are probably right. |  | |  |

I’m surprised there hasn’t been more interest. I’d have thought several clubs would have been interested at the release clause price. And ones better than Brentford. Either clubs are waiting to get him at a lower price (but risk a bidding war pushing the price back up) or there is very little genuine interest. I can’t predict which it is. |  |

I think clubs are currently careful at this moment in time what they spend out as an upfront lump payment compared to what they can pay over installments |  |

£35m is a big chunk of change for all but a small handful of clubs though. Any middling Prem side - and those are the ones likely to be interested - has to give some serious thought to whether to spend that kind of money on a player. He had an okay season in the Prem, a few goals and assists, but didn't pull up trees in the way Delap did. I think £35m is a decent price for him but can also understand the reticence of clubs to go that high. |  |

Less than £35m doesnt make financial sense to us. The £35m release clause was to protect the playing if we got relegated. With this passing means he stays or we release his true value £35m+ |  |

I get the clause is to protect us but maybe suitors consider the fee slightly too high as some have said on here. Would we be suicidal to for arguments sake to decline £28m - £30m after the clause has ceased and lose out on a sale whilst keeping a player who wants Prem football ? Just playing Devil’s advocate |  |

They can bid below the release clause already. 5pm changes nothing in that respect. |  | |  |

Anyone can bid below that but it’d be pointless ! |  |

Why though? If we’d be suicidal to turn down 28-30 mil after 5pm why would we turn it down before 5pm? All that changes is that we can say no to a bid over 35 mil after 5pm. So clearly nobody is going to bid that much or they’d have done it already. |  | |  |

Because before 5pm min is £35m thereafter it’s a bum fight and potential fee will be lower |  |

We can accept a bid below 35 mil before 5pm. 35 mil is the minimum bid at which we can’t reject it. |  | |  |

Yes but perhaps we thought someone would meet the clause fee so haven't accepted a smaller offer once it expires though and it gets to the point where we realise hmm, no on is offering close to what we want, we will accept 30 ( example ) as it helps us to rebuild the midfield |  |

If we were willing to accept a lower fee the clause wouldn't matter in the first place, we could have accepted one on Monday. As it is, it seems the club have put out their position 'no less than £35m' via the EADT and Phil |  | |  |

You’re the one that said we’d be suicidal to reject a bid of 28 - 30 mil after 5pm. 5pm doesn’t change a thing for a bid of that value. Put it this way: why would we not accept a 28 - 30 mil bid at 4:59 if it’d be suicidal to reject it at 5:01? [Post edited 15 Jul 16:35]

Of course the clause matters ….after 5pm today then it’s a buyers market whereas before it was a seller’s because the min was £35m We can say whatever we want to after the 5pm deadline as in we’re not accepting anything less than £35m and it’ll make no difference. We’re hardly going to say “ yeah I suppose now the deadlines passed we’ll take £25m then “ |  |

Nobody will bid more than 35 mil after 5pm. That is guaranteed. They’d just have bid 35 mil already and guaranteed it was accepted. It’s a minimum bid release clause, not a minimum you’re allowed to bid clause. [Post edited 15 Jul 16:43]

Don't follow this at all tbh The market was always whatever we wanted to sell him at and remains so. The only thing that happens now is a potential buying club cannot guarantee to buy him at £35m EADT headline literally says 'Ipswich Town won't accept less than £35m for Omari Hutchinson' and no doubt that's been pushed by the club to the media. |  | |  |
