That doesn't mean that's the only situation we can buy him back in though, does it? If they're not promoted can we buy him back for less?

[Dave]

I guess it's not impossible, but the syntax of that quote doesn't suggest it to be the case.

I think that's the only scenario in which we can enforce the buy back. There are more details in the Hull bloke's full quote.

Not sure about a same division clause. I've seen qhat the chairman said and it read to me that if we pay £10m for him, he comes back to us.

"If we're promoted, Villa will have the right to buy him back for £15m," explained Kesler.

And if they don't get promoted, it's £10m.

I don't think anybody has suggested that that's the case. Where have you seen that?

I don't think anyone is suggesting that it definitely exists, just that the phrasing of the Hull chairman leaves it open to interpretation that such a clause exists.  He's trying to "big up" his negotiating skills so it makes sense he would only mention the highest possible price we could ever pay for him.

I'm not saying we can buy him back from the Championship, I'm just saying it would be a strange buy-back clause if we couldn't, and the wording of the chairman doesn't rule it out.  He could easily have said, quite literally "Villa can only buy him back if we get promoted", but he didn't.  My suspicion is that his words were very deliberate.

Philogene scores again for Hull who are 3-0 up at half-time.

[AV82EC]

The goal was a cheeky backheel as well.

I mis-remembered what he said. This was the quote I saw -

“It’s pretty simple. The buy-back clause can be interpreted negatively or very positively. If the player is yours and you feel you don’t have the right to control it all the way along (through the contract) but you can also look at being able to get that kind of talented player you create a win-win situation, and share certain rights so that you can get it done and beat the competition.

“What we did in my opinion and for our fans to (understand) our decisions for the future, we’re not just buying players and then their previous clubs can buy them back from us, it’s a mechanism where we create a win-win situation.”

“There is a value that has been put on an identified performance, which is good. Maybe he can never reach there or he can bypass there, but at least for the market, for the industry, we know what he can be worth to leave our club.

“If someone comes in and offers less than his buy-back value, do we consider it? Should we consider it? Probably not. It’s a good thing. And having another big club on your side and being able to have some part in Jaden’s development plan is good.

“If we promote (to the Premier League), Villa have the right to buy him back for £15m. Having said that, if we have another offer that’s worth more than £15m then we would have the right to discuss it, it’s not like we’re forced to sell to Villa but they would have the first choice and that’s part of our agreement.

Seems like we've just got first option for him and the figure just establishes a market value. He could still go for less, or he could go for more.

[AV82EC]

Another goal for Philogene.

[Dave]

Still not on loan.

What is the "identified performance"?

[DrGonzo]

A brilliant Tango to Mousse T’s “I’m Horny” at Hull’s famous Ritzy nightclub after 3 sambucas, a double vodka red bull and two tokes on a bottle of poppers…

Hot n Juicy are Brummies so I thought they should be credited.

Another goal for Philogene.

He's not ours anymore sadly .
