He saw Aberdeen filling the vacuum at the top left by the departure of Rangers from the top flight, and to be fair they've more or less come good on that for now. Definitely a self serving gamble at the time on his part though.
Premiership clubs do all get an even share of the commercial money to a point by the way. The rest is dependant on final position and incentivises teams to try to win games, even if they have nothing else to play for. Not sure it's the best distribution split at the moment, but it's more equitable than it would be if the TV companies distributed it directly to clubs.
