The article also reports that Apple TV will not bid for live rights in the upcoming tender; they are only interested in acquiring global rights agreements.

Well would look quite political if they didn't. That may be less of an issue for them moving into the next contract period anyway.
Salary wise presumably given what they've justified paying Gary anyone stepping into his role would be expected to be close to that anyway - and if was was Gabby Logan for example considering she is of similar experience it would not be a good look to offer her less than the man in the role before her.
