I'd love for Pep to go to Juve. But this Momblano guy is taking you for a ride. This exit clause stuff is nonsense.
No, actual clause inserted into the contract by the lawyers. Exit strategy or safeguarding clients interest. For ex release clause.
Par. 2 is open to interpretation. This would have to go to court. Whenever a word such as
appropriate is used you can have many views on what that means, and which are all subjective to an extent. In addition, there is no reason to assume that a breach of this clause would allow for rescission of contract - it may, for example, give rise to damages rather than early termination.
Par. 11
would not stand up in English law at all. This is a unilateral clause giving all of the power to one party and none to the other, "in the
sole judgement of the Club"!? It would be deemed invalid and entirely unenforceable. I suspect the author of this slide has omitted some key material and replaced it with elipses (...) to support his point.
You underestimate the complexity of such contracts. They can get to 20-30-40 pages easily. Morality clauses are usually inserted to enable one side to terminate the contract if the behaviour of the other party causes damage to the public image or reputation or similar of the other party. These clauses are not uncommon in sports, that's why a club can terminate the contract if a player does something illegal, even if they are not convicted.
If somebody is not convicted then they have not done anything illegal. It's as simple as that. Innocent until proven guilty is a cornerstone of English law. Now imagine if Pep walked out on City and they then won an appeal at CAS that stayed and then overturned a Champions League ban. City could sue his arse off for millions!
It may be that Pep leaves or he stays, but if he does leave it has nothing to do with this made up story about release clauses.
