I think it is right to pay him to the end of his current contract but any future unsigned agreement must be debatable. If we honour any future discussed contract he is still impacting the club’s future with the money he will be taking out.

If he’s signed a contract then I have no problem with the club paying it, to that is the right thing to do but if not it’s taking away a players contract and paying him on a chat on which a person then as changed their minds

An employment contract doesn't have to be in writing....

Wow, not even legally binding. For a club without much cash this is quite something

This was also my thinking.

An agreement can be a legally binding contract a contract is an offer and an acceptance it doesn't need to be in writing however 99% of the time it would be written with terms

Perhaps it may be a type of severance package, usually made when both parties agree the best interest is for someone to leave their employment.

That works once you have started the role. Any new contract verbally agreed in advance with Chester wouldn’t come into being until 1st December so has no legal standing until that date. So now he’s left it isn’t legally binding.

It’s a nice thing to do and gives Chris some security but it is likely to come out of the playing and staffing budget for next year, which will impact us in some way.

I'd be utterly stunned if I was offered a promotion one week then dismissed for poor performance the next week. Which is essentially the case here. Makes you wonder if Carter knows what the hell he's doing

Being offered a promotion which I don't think he had is not the same as being offered an extension to his existing contract which atm seems a bit vague, so until it's clarified that's assuming it ever will, I'd hold back a bit with the assumption that Carter doesn't know what the hell he's doing, because in my opinion he'll know exactly what he's doing, whether the fans are in agreement is another matter.

I think MC knows exactly what he is doing and all what I have read above is pure speculation and guesswork. Which contract are the club honouring? has his present one expired yet? is that what MC is alluding to? I don't know, and frankly I don't care.
It's an issue between the employer of a private company and an employee. If it was a members club I may want to know more but it isn't.

Oops I've now read the OP properly and take the point - although I maintain it's an issue between them and I'm sure MC knows what he's doing.
