Cullum status as a billionaire is very much dependant on his Towergate shares though

his status as millionaire not so much

if he was to offer personal assurances to underwrite Towergate's debts, if push came to shove, and such a thing isn't unheard of when someone has built a business from scratch, then perhaps he prefer to not have so much tied up in an ailing 2nd tier football club
