Ball was overpaid his entire time with us in the expectation that he would deliver when he reached his prime years. Effectively paid in advance....
With money bulging out of his pockets, he could not accept dropping from an overpaid $600K, back to what he was worth $300K.
Lyon left for mercenary reasons, but so did Ball.
I hate the way Lyon chose to depart. Not ethical in my book.
He took the $million sign on fee and left.
But if you are going to run an argument, apply some logic and be consistent. Lyon left and doubled his salary, but you bemoan that Ball was justified in cracking it when the factor of 2 was applied in his case.
