The MCC would gain a majority share at no cost, allowing them to have a say over future investors in the remaining 49 percent and, potentially, benefit financially. This financial gain could fund upgrades to the club’s facilities, such as the Tavern and Allen stands. If things don’t go as planned, the MCC could sell its stake, provided members agree.

In this setup, each club would control its franchise while limiting financial risk due to the entity’s separate legal standing. According to the MCC, the only possible downside would be reputational risk, depending on the investors they align with.
