For a respected podcast that is meant to specialise in financial minutiae I thought it was very vanilla. No probing questions on the financial situation of the club when he sold out or since, and no mention of the fact that he recently settled out of court in the dispute with the trust&the financial implications of that - will the settlement be paid directly from the club would certainly be a penitent question to ask. As would more on the betrayal overall.

Was it telling that whenever he mentioned the trust that he said he worked well with them but always mentioned it in conjunction with Dineen? When did Dineen cut ties with the trust? Huw even mentioned him when addressing the question about supporters' expectations which was a question only relevant to our time in the Prem.

As a review of the club since 2002 it was ok. But very little actual insight. It could have been done by anyone.

Jenkins was very cautious with the clubs finances when he had a significant stake in it but gave no shits whatsoever once he and his chums had cashed in.
