Jenkins invested at the right time when TV Rights went up exponentially - whilst having amazing success on the field. He did put his own money at stake though.
The argument is probably should he have taken say £4m instead of £8m - by allowing the Trust to obtain more than 25% stake.
As this would have meant Trust would then have been protected - new buyer would then have paid less for control - meaning Jenkins would have then only received say £4m instead of £8m?
