But that’s my point. Fitz has failed to excel at a higher level, had he stayed he might well have had another outstanding year and had that opportunity in L2 with us next season.
(But he’d have been worse off financially of course)
Other factors to consider are family and location. I’ve no idea of Cal’s situation. Does he commute? Swindon would be a long hike and even Oldham & Notts would be extra mileage. Would he relocate? Would housing costs increase? Does he have kids settled at school? Does he have a wife/partner with a good job? Not always about the money for everybody.
(I hope he reads this, I’ve almost convinced myself that staying is the best option.)
