You only leave your job for two reasons. Either you are unhappy or you are offered more money.
If they are unhappy, they should leave. If they want more money, we should be paying them the market rate i.e. what they are worth, and if another club is prepared to ay 50% more, they are worth 50% more and we should pay it.
It's ****ing peanuts in the scheme of things, but more importantly it shows the scum across town, we are not to be messed with. If our scouts are indeed important to our success (or the rags') why on earth would we jeopardise that for a few thousand pounds A YEAR???
Just give them a 50% pay rise LOL. They'll be paid well and are working for a great company. If they want to fuck off then so be it.
Sometimes it's not always about the money.
