The main point in my original posting was not to talk about potential salary levels for a new manager (although this is very important). It was to try and establish whether the TRUST was party to the "considerably improved offer" to Tisdale. Can any Trustee answer this please?I’ve just read through this thread and there’s an important point here that no-one appears to have recognised. The initiative to reduce the impact of a potentially high contingent liability (i.e. the settlement of a 2 year rolling contract) came from the TRUST. Tisdale was already regarded as the highest paid manager in League 2 when this action was taken. However some time ago the CLUB made a “significantly improved offer.” Isn’t this yet another case of the CLUB riding roughshod over the TRUST, or was the TRUST party to this improved offer?
