Sauber forgot that the 80% he sold in Sauber was worth a lot less than the 80% of BMW.Sauber he wished to purchase...

The economic climate changed since than.
Also Sauber were 5th or so in the championship when he sold the team because BMW wanted it. Now BMW are looking like 2nd worse or worse team out there and they are looking to sell the team.

This is just round 1 of the negotiations... but if no sensible buyer is found they YES, I am sure BMW can afford to pay redundancies, they will after all be saving 100's of millions plus the assets of the operation.

And wouldn't it be cheaper to only pay half of that and get rid of the rest for free?!

If they are asking too much than they might as well keep it cause it isn't the right moment to try keeping the price high.
