The new Phoenix owners expect the team to bleed money for at least three years but want to offer fans a financial stake in the club.
Wellington-based consortium Welnix assumed ownership of the cash-strapped club yesterday after Terry Serepisos was forced to relinquish control.
Consortium member Gareth Morgan told The Dominion Post he hoped to give Yellow Fever fans the chance to buy into the club.
"We would like to think that, if it is successful, we can involve more capital participation from the supporters. We'd like to see the Yellow Fever and beyond � those guys actually having a stake in the team in terms of shareholders."
