But it’s not “essentially a release clause”, far from it. A release clause means a player can go automatically if a fee it met. Period. The club have said repeatedly that other factors play a part such as timing and if the deal is good for the club and the player which is quite different.

It will be partly because the team has had a refresh. I agree with the poster you quoted, Liverpool will be favorites for a CL place whereas Brighton will not.
