Looking for advice on best way foward.

We have a member of staff who against my advice to his managers has received a number of salary increases and more recently a "Manager" title.  He is quite clearly not a manager, and the work he's doing is clerical which I could get done for £10k less than what he's on.  Something I've always known.
He was recently off ill for some time and since coming back has managed to convince them to remove even more of his duties.  I know he was swinging the lead from reports back from his colleagues, but can't prove it, so can't use it.  His illness may be considered a disability (lack of sleep) but this isn't definate but lets assume the worst to be safe.
While he was off the Managers discovered he didn't actually do that much and so feel he is being grossly overpaid, surprise.  So they've transfered him to be under me, and told me to get his salary sorted, surprise surprise.
For the actual clerical duties that he does he's fine, so I don't necessarily need/want to see him go.  I just want to pay him what the post is worth.
So what do people feel is the best way to proceed?  Can I consult with and regrade the position back to a clerical with the pay drop, do I make the "Manager" post redundant and change it for a clerical.  I don't particularly want to but I could take all of the duties into my office which is a completely different location, i.e. centralising the work.

thanks in advance and apologies for the length.  Any questions let me know.

You may need to do some sort of job evaluation on his role to size his job then fit to a salary.  You could do this informally as a job ranking or paired comparisons exercise or consider using an analytical points factor scheme.
