I am not arguing the merits of the decision to sign O'Reilly, because I think overall it was not a good idea. However, the language of the MOU is indisputably ambiguous. It is not at all "obvious" that the application of "a Club's" applies exclusively to the rights-holding team anymore than "a mid-season signing" precludes RFA offer sheets. BOTH appear to be legitimate interpretations of the clause, which was precisely the sticking-point after the fact.
