Part = 1-99%

Does it matter who buys into the club? Say I win lotto on the weekend, is it the end of the world if I buy a minority share of the club? If investment into the club is not going to make any material difference to fans, why the uproar? The only clarification I want to know, if any investment changes how 'Nix operate and if that potentially negatively impacts local fans.

if you sell a share in the club to another club in Australia, what is the end game?  It's that club taking over our license.  There is no way that an Aussie club buying a share in the Phoenix is doing it for any other reason other than it's a back door into the A-League.

But isn't this only an issue if:

a) WelNix are actively looking to sell a share to a club in Australia; and/or

b) they actually tried to, and it was blocked.

But neither of these is true, or even inconsistent with what WelNix have said to date - which is, they are willing to look at other potential investors to help out (and unfortunately, there's not a lot of those in NZ lining up). So they received an offer from a potential investor, considered it, and decided it wasn't the right fit and rejected it. There's nothing more to it than that.
