Multi-club ownership can bring some benefits (if run well), but it can also lead to smaller clubs ending up as feeders to the larger teams in the structure. I'd also flag concerns around governing bodies tightening up on how these structures operate, and the danger of ownership groups having the ability to create profits for other businesses/holding companies set up to 'manage' the organisations. They can be very opaque, and given the consensus with our fans on needing more transparency and communication, this may be a very poor fit for a club like ours.
Put me down in the cynical camp for now.
