How could he have gone for the money? He wouldn't be earning any different if he was here still. If he had a pay rise in his new contract with Forest they would have paid the extra money (if we were paying 100% of his last wage) as our agreement was already set with his previous wage. Yates would earn whatever his Forest contract says regardless of who is actually paying him the money.
Oh yeeeaahhhh, *chortle*
