The FA was fairly rich, so a large amount of money being spent on a coach is no surprise.
In addition, the reason he had such an enormous contract, which is still technically going on - he's still being paid by the FA - was the tabloids. They demanded that he sign a large extension, which of course had to come with a pay hike, after they said that he was moving to Chelsea.
I'm pretty sure Sven would have left earlier if it hadn't been for the tabloid intervention, but either way it would have been much less costly.
