Hmmm, I'm getting closer to being persuaded.“provisions that allow both the player and the club to decide, at the end of a given contract period, whether to extend or renew the contract for an additional term”.
Unlike a player PO or club option CO, where only one party has the right to decide on the extension, a mutual option MO requires both parties to agree on continuing the relationship. If either side declines the option, the contract ends.
But to talk in Pou's language, where would MO "provisions" of this sort sit on the continuum between a top of the contract range CO (which the club can not take up) and a lower range PO (which the player can take up), given that POs apparently save us money off the annual contract amount.
Do MO "provisions" save us money or lose money... and what is the point of even having them rather than a straight CO if the club wants? (POs can get f**ked, afaic.)
