Yes you are. If they don't pay the top guys obscenely large bonuses, they'll hoof it to somewhere their talents are better rewarded.

Then RBOS will be left with a bunch of muppets, and end up with management like the old GPO, and the taxpayer will need to fork out even more.

HTH

So it's a bit like criminals demanding huge salaries in exchange for not robbing us?

No, no no - nothing like it.

It's more like criminal stealing money, wasting them down the drain and then expecting a hefty bonus every year so that he could potentially return those lost money.

The situation is that those profits from banks will never make up (adjusted for inflation) for losses, so the question really is to ensure that such losses never happen again, the way things go there is no such assurance whatsoever.
