That they are operating in a context in which those are not risks of even a well run club.

If you believe that an investor who ploughs a large chunk of their own cash into the club speculatively hoping or expecting us to be promoted and to then sell us on at a profit would not have placed us in a worse position or at greater risk, then I don't think that we will agree at all on this front.
