For players contracted to us we don't need a clause, we can just refuse an offer. For players who are on loan here you couldn't legally have any sort of clause like that anyway, they are owned by another club and have a break clause in January, which means all season long loans are essentially till January and then see how happy everyone is then such thing as an actual season long loan. So loan players are the most likely to leave, but obviously Bristol City will have some in place who they want to keep already and you can only have 5, they will have players in positions we have loan players and not want to bring in players in those positions. Some of our loan players who are playing will be happy here and their clubs will be happy they are playing so Manning won't be able to get them.
Can't see there being an exodus of our players to Bristol City in January, if Mannings tactic for success in the Championship is to just nick our players then he will be out of there quicker than he was out of here given the gap in the divisions standards,
