The Palace example is a good one

And you make a decent point on the philanthropy front.

Giving the club away to another fan would probably seem less jarring than giving it away to someone 'investing'

If an investor ploughed money into the club (infrastructure? Future liabilities?) as part of buying it, it might work, but what's to stop someone doing what the majority of owners do these days and have their investment as a loan secured against the club and putting it at risk if things go belly up?

It's a tricky one, to be sure.
