Your efforts to Bazinga me are ever-more desperate

A release clause is exactly that; a point at which the player is free to exit his contract.

Man City sold Delap, for £15m > £20m. It is understood that they have a £40m Buy-Back clause and a 20% Sell-On.

The £30m-on-relegation clause would have been at the behest of Delap, ensuring that he was not priced out of a move if relegated to the Champ.

If your wild theory is correct then you know more than journalists from the EADT, the BBC and the Guardian.
