This has consistently been my position too, what happens in the end? I can get on board with the recent chat about a partnership, an investor can put his money in and use us to his advantage, a marketing ploy, a commercial venture or just bragging rights to his chums (good luck there). But his project is likely to be a 5 year or at most a 10 year one, what happens then, how does he get out, is there an agreed exit, what if he has made no money?
If he wants to take control he needs to invest some serious money, say £10M, but what does this mean? It means he owns a company with £10M in cash, who is in control of that cash, him? He could pay that as a dividend.
I am happy for us to be exploring this concept but the outcome needs to be a strong club because we will still be here when the investor has gone, (and so will Bevis presumably).
