He still had a few years on his...

original contract and Jordan has obviously said that he wouldn't sell him under any circumstances (or unless someone offered ?20m). So it would have been stupid not to accept a massive pay rise. He might have been content to stay and get promotion, but as that doesn't look guaranteed, he may now want away.
