5.5 million for 77 days work will soften the blow for him. Don't loose any sleep.
I know the pay off softens the blow of been sacked, but he must be hurting professionally. To be in the job such a short length of time, not given a fair crack and then replaced by Woy must be a real kick in the knackers. Its like been dumped by your missus and then finding out she's shacked up with John Merrick.
