Quote ="PopTart"Didn't you say that someone in the know told you there isn't much difference in salaries?
You can't have it both ways.
At the end of the day Carter offered him what he thought he deserved and Batch disagreed.
It's how things work.
Without knowing the details its hard to say whether Carter was right or wrong, but he had to balance the books so couldn't just pay anything.'"
I did say that, yes, and a fairly reputable one too, and has been at the helm of his club for about 27-28 years or so, and the club have had a lot of duccess.
While I do agree with what he said, I get your point, but offering a lower deal. Imagine walkimg into an appraisal/salary review, after working your backside off, to be told your salary is reducing. Not surprised he told Carter where to go.
I also get your point with balancing the books, but he wasnt balancing them, when throwing money elsewhere on players. He would have got better value offering more to him, than the players I previously mentioned.
In my eyes, he got that one very wrong and reading Scarlets post, which I agree with, its not the only thing he got wrong.
So glad we are now in better hands and players are wanting to stay
