I'm sure it's true that Healy didn't defer his wages. However, I doubt very much that if he _had_ deferred his wages he would still have been at LUFC for season. This is an example of Bates spinning events to mislead the fans. > But you clearly know the man better than I do. Only his (Bates')track record on pronouncements saying and implying one thing and actual events turning out entirely differently. Bates has said that we won't have to sell anyone because of their wages as all debts will have been settled (true - but not in the way we assumed) and the difference in TV and pirze money between CCC and League 1 is c. £1m a year, so we can safely assume (or can we?) that all the higher earners at ER will be staying? Or will it just happen to turn out that those will be the ones that Wise doesn;t think are good enough for Leeds anyway? > I will await Healy's agent's statement on the matter calling Bates a > liar.
