He has a release clause in his contract doesn't he? They pay the money, there's nothing we can do. Figures touted by Alan Nixon suggest it is circa £5m for a top tier club BUT reduced to £2m for a Championship club. So with Saints relegated, they can pay the £2m and that's that. Not sure what the package is for the staff as that was rumoured to be separate, but some are supposedly out of contract in the summer anyway.
