Depends how badly it would affects my longer term prospects.
It may be a false economy for Rudolf to cling onto the hope of getting appearance money if it harms his prospects for the future - international and at club level ("out of sight, out of mind").
It could/would be more financially astute to accept the cut now in order to reap the rewards later....
Or, as mentioned, perhaps he has received promises from our new owners, who may, or may not, takeover tomorrow.....
