Tottenham fans have been left stunned by the latest twist in the Morgan Gibbs-White saga, with many questioning the legality of Nottingham Forest’s actions after Spurs triggered the midfielder’s release clause.Morgan Gibbs-White remains a Nottingham Forest player, despite Tottenham Hotspur reportedly activating the midfielder’s release clause just over a week ago.With every passing day, it becomes increasingly difficult to envision Gibbs-White turning out in a Tottenham shirt next season, and plenty of Spurs fans have already begun urging the club to shift focus to other targets in the market.Now, fresh reports claim that Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis is hoping Manchester City will enter the race to sign Gibbs-White.It is believed the midfielder informed Marinakis at the end of last season that he would only depart for a certain calibre of club – and the Forest chief does not see Tottenham Hotspur as fitting that bracket.Photo by Ed Sykes/Getty ImagesTottenham fans fume over Morgan Gibbs-White situationSpurs supporters who have seen the latest reports have been swift to share their thoughts, with many now left disillusioned by the entire Gibbs-White transfer saga and how it has unfolded.One fan remarked: “If City do not come in for him, which they will not! How can they stop us? Legally, surely they cannot?” Another added: “Should we not just move on, there is Xavi Simons available in the market. This drama will never end.”A third fan vented: “When has an owner become a player and undermine other clubs. It is totally unprofessional!” While another echoed a similar sentiment: “Why does that matter? Release clause was hit. Surely we need to look at the legal issues of this.”The strongest reaction came from a supporter who posted: “That has got to be illegal surely. If the Prem find nothing wrong with our approach and that Forest blocked the deal just to sell him to City after we activated a release clause, then we should sue the s**t out of them.”Despite the anger from Tottenham fans, Morgan Gibbs-White appears no closer to holding up a Spurs shirt this summer, with just weeks to go until the start of the Premier League season.Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis is hoping Man City come in with a bid to sign Morgan Gibbs-White, who told Marinakis at the end of last season he would only leave for a certain level of club.
