Football Department Review

[Baggers]

I'm not sure how it all ties together, but I read that Barker informed the club that he would not be there next year, but was happy to coach the remainder of the season. I believe Teague was also happy / keen for him to see out the season, but apparently the higher ups (I'm guessing Lloyd / Liddle) told him to go there and then.

I didn't read anywhere that The TT was happy for him to remain - might have just simply missed that communication.

Not unusual in organisations for someone to announce they won't be remaining in the coming year to be paid out then and there and leave. Happens pretty often to the satisfaction of both parties, once HR stuff has been done.
