The  President has insisted that Marvan should proceed on the Tour as the  Head Coach and there should not be any compromise,” de Silva wrote to  exco members. According to another email from de Silva to SLC officials sent last  Thursday, Atapattu had initially been offered a package at a monthly  salary of Rs. 1.3 million SLR along with other standard components  common to his job category in SLC cadre. It said, Atapttu had agreed to the package on offer but requested for  a SLC maintained car in place of the car allowance being paid hitherto.  The panel had agreed to it and the package had been approved by SLC  EXCO on September 24. Further, Atapattu had offered to work as a consultant and SLC had  formulated a consultative agreement exclusively for this position which  SLC had intended to be used for all consultants in future. The new agreement had been made available to Atapattu on October 6,  but he had “seemingly not very much convinced about it” stated de Silva.SLC had then made some amendments to the agreement such as the EXIT clause before completion of one year Atapattu had then forwarded his own draft on last Wednesday “with  significant changes/ amendments” to the SLC draft, de Silva had stated  to the exco. “It was manifested that Marvan had added/reinforced clauses  to cover his best interests,” de Silva had stated. In the terms offered by SLC to national coach had included a meal  allowance, SLC maintained car, 150 litres of petrol, standard tour  per-diems, incentive bonuses, Mobile phone and monthly allowance, laptop  with dongle, family hospitalisation/OPD insurance in addition to the  monthly salary of Rs. 1.3 million. However in addition to all the offered terms, Atapattu had asked for a  further Travelling benefit of Rs. 50,000, SLC Maintained brand new Car  commensurate with his status, Rs. 2.6 million Holiday package benefit  for the contractual period and a ten percent increment upon completion  of one year in the job. SLC had included clause to review Atapattu’s performance after a  period of one year, though he had been offered a two-year contract.  However Atapattu had also demanded to remove that clause.අතපත්තුවත් දැන් පොඩ්ඩ පොඩ්ඩ ගෑස් පෙන්නනව වගෙ</blockquote>
