From the sound if it he stops moaning and takes the deal. The actor was on Steve Lamacq’s show on 6 Music last (along with Phoebe and Kate who weren’t rowing for once) extoling the virtues of partnership farming agreements.
I didn’t realise until yesterday what a gorgeously sexy voice he has when he’s not moaning!
As Jean Rose wrote, Adam is being offered 40% of the annual profit of the business as salary; he was not being offered an ownership share in the business. Adam does all the work, Brian still gets a majority of the profits. And when Brian shuffles off this mortal coil, will Rauri get the farm? If I were Adam, I’d hire a lawyer.
That’s not how I understood it, but anyway – I bet his salary isn’t 40% of the profits now, so he’s still a winner. Glad he’s stopped whinging and taken the deal!
