In comparison RK has ended up with a £2.3m pay out after initially, again as I recall, suggesting that he felt responsible for the incident but still turning down half pay during his enforced absence. To me that can’t be right.
My memory is telling me the Court didn't fine them. In the immediate aftermath of the incident, both were fined 6 weeks wages by the club. For Lawro that was £390K and £60K for Bennett. Both were asked by the magistrates what their wages were which is why I know the figures. The Court took those fines into account and decided not to fine them further.
