You think anyone at Everton would know, or be interested, in what was said in a bfc meeting in a pub?
Probably not, was just a random suggestion. Although what you've just said is most likely the reason why Patrick spoke that night, and why Ben kept his mouth shut. For what it's worth, i recon there is a sell on clause, he just doesn't want to say so. You say that a lot of sell-on clauses are public, but we don't know how many are not public because, well, they're not public.
