If his contract got terminated by mutual agreement, then surely even after he was listed by kc then kc wouldn't have sanctioned any of the budget to pay paynters wage while he's no longer with us. That's what I believe anyway

Surely paying 25% of a players wage is better than paying his full wage. Say for example he was on 2k a week at Carlisle, we wanted shot of him but the only offer was from Hartlepool who were only willing to pay him 1.5k a week. Surely it makes good business sense for us to pay the remainder just to get shot of him rather than him see out the remaining year of his contract on the full 2k?
But we're not just on about paying 25% off his wage. We're on about paying him 25% of a previous contract whilst playing for another club.
I wouldn't want our club, given the financial constraints we've had in recent times, to be paying for anybody who is not a squad member.
Regardless how often that happens in football, I certainly don't think KC would have done that. Considering he's been so vocal about giving players contracts that only reward them with big bucks if they earn it (incentivising all players).
Fair play to KC for standing calm and letting the football do the talking.
