Unless the release clause only kicks in with relegation.
I like Gana. The release clause seems unlikely. Why would you sign a player and have a release clause that meant he would go for less than you paid? So even if he'd been the next Patrick Vieira we would've made a loss on him... I don't think even we would be that stupid. Unless the release clause only kicks in with relegation.

If we were still in the Prem, his release clause might have been double that.
How do these clauses work? Presumably there is a trigger than if we're relegated the players' wages drops and a corresponding release clause becomes available. If we did not trigger the wage drop, would the player's value be dictated by market forces?
Hopefully if someone meets the release fee, someone else will bid more to get a bidding war started.
