Wrong

It's more than £64m but it's only spread over two years not three.

That is a lot of money but actually a problem when it comes to offering contracts since a three year contract will run into a period when we potentially have no parachute payments and sizeable contracts (with wages similar to those we are currently paying) will potentially ruin us.
