Also, there is no mention of any profit sharing

All the TV rights, player sales, ticket sales, etc - none of it is mentioned.

Basically this is a way of raising a consortium to buy a football club. Then, instead of getting dividends, you are required to pay again each year, with 20% going to the "company", and with no financial return on your investment.

And people complain about spending 20 quid on Canaries World for a year.
