I don't think we can impose any buy-back clauses if someone's paying his buyout clause to buy him. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
You are right
If he really didn't know about the clause, then someone like Zubi has more blame than Tito. I don't remember reading about this 18 mi before, and as Tito had too much on his plate(his disease), it's not far fetched he really didn't know. Of course this has nothing to do with him not trusting Thiago, or not giving him minutes. But you can't just put all the blame on Tito. If his buyout was 90mi, I doubt any team would be willing to pay.
Some journalist even asked him 1 month before the end of the season and he blatantly said he didn't care about the clauses of players. He just plays the players he feels deserve to play. There's nothing wrong with if that's his decision since he's the manager but if Thiago leaves, which will probably turn out to be a bad piece of business, he will be held accountable.. no one else.
Not saying I am against Tito or anything, not even that he is wrong in taking this decision. Just saying that he did knew.
