Who first conjured up the notion of the release clause in the world of football? Perhaps it was a ploy adopted from the business sector. Perhaps it was invented by Mr. R. Clause himself. Perhaps ex-Liverpool director Damien Comolli, a dark master of the transfer market, came up with it in a dream (or should that be nightmare) about Andy Carroll.

Either way, the release clause adds an interesting dynamic to the transfer market. It’s simple a method of saying; “If you want him that badly, this is how much you’ll have to pay. Don’t even bother negotiating.”
