Sure they have to release at the release clauses value - but it doesn't stop them from accepting a higher bid still. So let's say a player accepts personal terms with club A and B. Club B bids higher than the release clause and club A is not willing to match - logical feeling is that club B would get to do business. Am I completely off here?

Not to my knowledge. He just said contracts aren't worth shit. He was happy to admit it.
Yes, you're completely off here.
Legally speaking the club can't turn down that lower offer if it matches their release clause. In either case either club can skip the club and start direct talks with the player.
Probably some bullshit clause and technical loophole in the contract that the agent overlooked.
Contracts are complicated, but they're still worth something.
Surely this is dependent on the structure of the release clause? Why would you write a release clause that prohibits you from selecting the higher of two bids in case there would be multiple bids triggering the clause?
This is true, but release clauses are very rarely written like this. It's very rare that you hear about a player having a release clause and teams bid more than it.
Have a look here - there is a difference between a buy-out and a release clause

Because it's a release clause; an automatic trigger.
Nothing would prohibit the team from accepting the higher offer, they just simply can't turn down the lower offer if it exceeds the release clause.
Pretty sure the noise was that the bid needed to be above £40m. Adding £1 on top is a piss take, and thus the 'savaging'
Were you coached by Emile Heskey?
Actually I coached Emile Heskey
blatant troll. or thick
Of course it is, but why would you bid any more than that?
Exactly I know we hate Woolwich but we all know Levy would of done exactly the same and we'd of all defended him for it.
