They don't own their stadium and so get nothing like the return we get, I think their current good form and this improves them but once we get up and running it's nothing to worry about.Don't think it is anything to worry about just yet.
If someone is owning that percentage of the club they will not be putting a huge amount of their own money into the club as it will be diluted by the other owners.
Maybe it is a plan to gradually buy the club but I am sure there were things put in place when they moved to the Olympic stadium to ensure they couldn't do that easily but maybe doing it this way may get round those terms.
What isn't clear is if it was bought as an equity issue so the money can go into the club or if it was purchased from the current owners in which case it is just a bit of a pay day for them. I assume and hope it is the latter.
