Rumoured as 20mil a few months, now seems to be reported as 25-30mil.
£30mil would make sense as it’s double what we originally payed, but puts us back to square one when city inevitable trigger it - if even to sell him to someone else for 40-50mil.
Does anyone know if this actually exists? People seem to be quoting Delap as us selling for 60-70mil, but the reality is if this clause exists we won’t be getting anything more than £30mil - and a big hole to fill.

I'm sure that this was pretty roundly debunked a couple of months back - the understanding is that City have matching rights, rather than a buy-back clause.
Does this really need going over again, every single time someone mentions Delap going back to City? |  |

It's been discussed extensively if you search through the forum.
TLDR : No one knows, just loads of speculation with limited basis. The details of the contract were never stated by Town or Citeh | | | |

If it was as low as sub £30m citeh probably would have activated it and bounced him off to Chelsea for £50m by now. |  | | |

They can’t just activate a clause to make us sell our asset. Think it through. | | | |

I wouldn’t worry about it to much , the like of us getting to know the ins and outs of the deal are pretty much zero I’m afraid, guess all you like but in reality we will never know . | | | |

The delay with Philogene was apparently a disagreement over sell on percentage.
There is no way in hell Ashton would have looked at the success of Palmer and agreed to sell Delap back to City for a paltry £30m.
I think we can safely assume they only have matching rights. What's the incentive for us to agree a fee to sell him back? |  |

The Philogene bit of that's not true, agent was the issue, as was rumoured. |  | | |

Sheffield United were relegated, that what triggered him going back to Villa. So, tell Cameron I said, “hi” too. | | | |

I think that was just an unusual deal where it was effectively a loan.
I don't think this, or too many deals are like this. I believe our masnagement would have accepted that, but who knows. [Post edited 20 Jan 18:39]

Worst case....to ensure we get a deal done with Citeh.
I make you right though bud. |  |

We have to be willing to sell for a buy back at a pre agreed price to be triggered.
He is going anywhere, except perhaps to St George’s with National team. |  |

Thay can if that is what's written in the original contract.
Not that I think it's a likely thing. Can't see Town agreeing to such without significant constraints on timing, fees and so on. |  |

Of course but it’d be idiotic to do that and make zero business sense. There will be a pre-cursor to their buy back agreement ie: a relegation release clause where they get first or a matching option or in the event we decide to sell they’ll get first refusal at an agreed figure. | | | |

Understand potentially delicate, but any expansion on that?
Being slow, wanting a higher cut? |  |

Undoubtedly. But sometimes apparently nonsensical contracts are offered/signed (e.g. giving Paul Lambert 5 years in January 2020).
Can't imagine Ashton being tied into anything too silly. We walked away from the Broja deal when it didn't look sensible any more. | |

Only a handful of people on the planet know the correct answer, is my understanding. Believe McKenna declined the question some time ago, saying he wasn't privy to such details. Believe Ashton hasn't commented on it - or been asked to, at least publicly.
Most on here don't think it exists because they can't see the logic in it, plus Ashton is too strong and manly to have kowtowed to such terms. I'm happier believing it doesn't exist until proven otherwise because it would make me sad. | | | |

Or, at the very least, a time element (e.g. not before the end of this season, or the next one). | |

If that was the only way of landing him, Ashton would have agreed it. |  |

Buy back clauses exist that don't need to be triggered by an event. | |

Unlikely that it could be triggered so early. | |
