Tony Khan says he was surprised when Jade Cargill didn’t take his final contract offer because it was larger than what she was asking for:
“I knew Jade (Cargill)’s contract had been ticking down and we were talking about a new contract and I was very interested in Jade coming back and we were having a negotiation.
I made a very big offer and I thought it was a very fair offer. I think she was considering it, and then she asked for a bigger offer and then I went up again, and I kind of thought that was going to do it.
Then, it didn’t, which I was surprised because to be honest, I came up to a number that was higher than her original ask.”
