I have the bad feeling he'd get nothing from it.

I wonder if it's a bungle. Using "their" and all that indirect plural nonsense is entering common usage. Political correctness dictates a gender-neutral pronoun which English doesn't have. So at the risk of offending the more sensitive language feminists among us, my default is "he" and "his".
