Some bizarre claims and counterclaims re the contract clause. As has been pointed out, it would in no way benefit the club to have this, so it must have been something valued by the player (or more likely his agent) that played a part in the contract negotiation.
Anyway, its history. In reality though, I can't see that we'd have got much more than £250K for Morrison in the current market, so a higher release clause (or the absence of one) would have meant that we'd be keeping him longer.
Opinion seems to be split, but mine is that, as he clearly wants away he's not here for the long term so as long as we can get a replacement in to at least see out the remainder of this season, its good business for us.
When he came in he team as a 17 yr old I thought he had great potential but he doesn't seem to have developed as much as I'd hoped he might. I can't help but compare him to Matty Heywood, who had great games but also made poor mistakes. He went off to City hoping for a bigger move. I know MH was older and there is still time for Sean to develop but my punt is that he'll end up as a similar journeyman League 1/2 player.

Has it been confirmed yet that he is moving? If not anyone think he will play today?

He is definitely going and won't play today because Reading won't want him to risk getting injured. |

I cant.
If what DRS has heard is true, then its beggars belief we put that in there.
Fitton just said if they hadn't put the clause in, Morrison wouldn't have signed. I believe Fitton 100% |

I know yesterday was a load of shite going forward, but I thought we looked a lot better with LJF at the back with Cuthbert, and I think we would have kept them out if Rose hadnt been sent off.

There won't be any 'sell on' clauses, will there?
Reading met the release fee. No need for further negotiation on their part.

Regardless of who put the clause in his contract, how did Reading know about it? I can't imagine wanting to sell him, maybe in the summer but not now. The player wanted out and if that's the case why do we want him here?

Morrison would have been out of contract in the summer. I assume they knew about the clause because it came up on the screen when they clicked on his name, fm style. |

What screen? I thought contracts were signed paper documents which were between the club and the player. One would have to divulge the contents to other parties. I'm guessing it's the agent in this case. Going to get a nice fee out of it. |

I got the FM reference but seeing as you always think you're right I wasn't entirely sure you were capable of sarcasm. My mistake.
