    Two points:


    1 - This is the Daily Mail


    2 - It's a 25 year PFI contract


    One learns never to use the word "Team" and "PFI" in the same sentence. As usual there is a lot more behind this  - principally Ferrovial, who own Amey, trying to sell off Amey and having trouble doing so because of pre existing contracts - and that calls into question Amey's performance in their contractual relationship with Birmingham Council - and it's wider performance financially
