I apologize for misinterpreting what you said.  However, I still don't
think it's wise to find a way of not paying off Bill.  Would you want to
come work at a place where there is a precedent of not paying coaches
their buyout if something goes wrong?  Just give him the money and send
him on his way.  Osborne himself has said that money was not going to be
an issue (in his very first press conference).
