This is interesting
From BBC Sport:
"We received an offer from Sunderland for Dickson which meets a £1.5m buy-out clause in his contract," said Norwich chief executive Neil Doncaster.
"We are very disappointed to lose Dickson, obviously.
"But the simple facts are that Dickson turned down the offer of a new, more lucrative contract from Norwich City which was already on the table, in favour of Sunderland's offer.
"We are therefore forced to accept their offer under the terms of his contract."

No doubt I will be derided for reading anything our highly esteemed CEO has to say, but I wonder if that last sentance implies that the new contract DIDN'T have a release clause, or that it was merely higher?
