I'm pretty sure that release clauses are almost all paid up front ... but may be wrong. But I assume that's because it tends to be that the selling club don't really want to sell, so can demand it all at once.

Yeh, i acknowledged that much earlier in the convo.... It was once primarily a mechanism for clubs to protect an asset by inserting a "fuck off" price-tag.
These days it could just as easily be something set/driven by an agent or the player as part of the agreed contract (see Haaland).
The regulations within vary from league to league.
Palace or West Ham would be perfect if he was going to get regular games. PL. London. Moyes tactically is very similar to Conte.
....Ouch! ........You chose violence.
It doesn't matter what I think. I know you don't score 100% of shots you don't take. Make the offer always make the fucking offer. Pathetic lack of ambition
If we've spoken to the player and they've said no; how is that a matter of lacking ambition?
Previously we've been criticised for making offers of optics sake...... Now we should do so?
If this is true, why didn’t we just bloody do that at the beginning of the month?!
3 damn weeks to end up paying the release clause. Only us...
Over 7 years...
If this is true, why didn’t we just bloody do that at the beginning of the month?!
Three weeks of unpaid wages saved
Now we are cooking
If we do its utterly weird.
I remember in the 90's a commentator mentioning Seedorf at Madrid having a release clause set at 100m with incredulity...
Little did he know.

From a player + cash to just cash!
Levy masterclass
If this is true, why didn’t we just bloody do that at the beginning of the month?!
This info they are reporting is lifted from a FRENCH Sporting supporters account, so really not the most reliable info
They must be in triple digit squad numbers by now
This news 
is worrying, maybe why we got a typical Levy random scatter gun option ala dan jooma???

If this and the report about Porro are true, are we trying to convince Conte to extend or is it for a future manager?
