Agree. Clearly the most important thing here was the tragic death of two people, but that a dispute over £10m was related to it does not diminish the importance of £10m.

What strikes me as slightly odd, is that the decision seems to represent a middle-ground when I didn't think such a thing was possible. We either signed him or we didn't, it feels kinda binary to me.
