Has Fellaini really got a £22m buyout clause in his contract ?

He doesn't know the difference between "known" and "talked about/speculated upon" apparently.

Lunatic. Last attempt though. The comments section on the below:

Now, bearing in mind I can't travel back in time and tape record fellas talking in the pub about it, that's the closest evidence to Evertonians speculating about Fellaini having a release clause you can get.

It's really that simple - as I say, spectacularly wrong.

Please, stop referring to a handful of Evertonians discussing the subject, because all it does is prove my point.

It still isn't known as to whether he has a release clause, and it is still being speculated about now (albeit, on a far larger scale), so I'm not quite sure why you think the difference between knowledge and speculation has anything to do with what we are discussing here. Although, it wouldn't be the first time that you have referred to irrelevant nonsense, would it?

I agree I think the fact Royle is still the everton player to have scored the most champions league goal for the club was a big reason for his success as a man manager.

This guy had walked the walk and they respected him for it. Plus there was never any impression that he was a mercenary, he had a real affection for the club and I think players and fans pick up on that.

I've met him you know. He came into a shop I worked in a few years ago looking to change a big wad of Euros back into Sterling.

He's deceptively tall.

When did you first hear about this clause, because your argument appears to be that because you hadn't heard about Fellaini's release clause, no-one else had either?

What would you accept as evidence that a significant amount of Evertonians had heard about this clause before last month? Obviously it's not possible for anyone to record conversations they might have had at Goodison about it.

I read about it on here a few months ago, and I can remember it being given little notice, with most people concluding that it was nothing but unsubstantiated rumours being published by a handful of Evertonians on an internet message board.

Yes, I had seen it being discussed on here, the point is that I know loads of Evertonians who DON'T spend half of their working life on GOT (like I do), and the conversation has never came up, at the match or elsewhere.

It's just like all the Kirkby nonsense, I am STILL having to inform people that the stadium was only going to cost 78million and that we were due to fund every penny of it, and most people have none of it and dismiss me as a sad internet crank who doesn't know what he is chatting about.

It's the same with Fellaini and this release clause, it was far from a huge talking point amongst Evertonians until the media FINALLY (considering how many thousands of Evertonians had been going on about it for so long) decided to publish their stories, this year!

Right, you know how TV ratings work, yeah? They judge how many millions of people watch a show; but they don't do that by actually surveying millions of people, they take a sample and gauge it instead.

The same principle applies here. I can't physically get hold of thousands of Evertonians and get them to telephone you swearing that they did speculate about Fellaini's clause, because it's impossible. But what I can do is get anecdotal evidence to back it up using documented sources where available.

The media releases are separate to the viewpoint of Evertonians, because that news has clearly been leaked recently, whereas speculation had been ongoing long before that - as shown by the links.

Do you understand? Is that simple enough for you FFS?

Your argument seems to be "if a bear sh*ts in the woods and I didn't hear it, then the bear didn't sh*t in the woods." It makes no sense and you're honestly making yourself look very stupid.

The only maniac here is you, I can't believe that you're actually coming out with this crap.

Analogies about TV ratings, really, what are you on?

OK, lets use your absolutely mental TV rating analogy. What were the ratings like before the recent media reports? And what are they like now?

I can't help but feel like I'm dealing with a simpleton of significant proportions here.

did he really just call Tubey a simpleton?

Wow.

The person making ridiculous analogies about TV ratings? The person who continues to post links to a handful of Evertonians discussing the prospect of Fellaini having a release clause? The person who posted a link to an article in the Daily Mirror which in no way mentioned a release clause? Him?

Yes, I did.
