Vodafone boss pockets £7.3m

A year ago, Vodafone supremo Arun Sarin almost got booted out by livid shareholders. How times change! According to the Times, since then he's gratefully accepted a cool £7.3m from the company, the majority in performance-related bonuses.

Excessive payouts for the upper boardroom classes? We seek your comments - but ultimately this one is up to Vodafone's shareholders to judge.
