After some weeks, Bilbao gave in and sold Martinez. Apparently they never intended to sell Herrera yesterday and they knew that United would not have time to go to the Financial Council.
Bottom line: Spanish buyout clause rules stink and Bilbao are #######s. Herrera is extremely disappointed.

Based on what you are saying I still fail to see how Bilbao are in the wrong here, you state that they are fully within their rights. Isn't this United's fault for leaving this so late? Isn't it United's fault for getting Herrera's expectations up without having their homework done? I find it funny that they were not able to push around a smaller team to get what they wanted, you seem to be acting like a spoiled child that didnt get all the presents he wanted at Christmas.
