It sounds to me like he does want the team to stay put and he's doing everything he can to make that happen. The reality is not something that Jag fan wants to hear but the ticket prices revenue must continue to increase (meaning prices and attendance) and the corporate support needs to continue to strengthen.

By the way, those are things most of the small market teams have in common.

He's the owner, if he wants it to happen, all he has to do is say "We're not moving".

He's a smart guy. He's playing both sides as long as possible as it makes him money and creates leverage for a new stadium. 

Now you can argue that A) He doesn't need extra money and playing in London hurts the citys perception more than the money helps and B) he doesn't need much more leverage to force a new stadium. 

The formula to keeping the team is Jacksonville is fairly simple - field a competitive team for a few years in a row!
