Does everybody know that? Are you speaking on 'everybody's behalf'? How thrilling.
I will not be so arrogant to claim I speak on everybody's behalf. I do know that wealthy backers can support favoured clubs through private sources and / or their corporate interests. That some sponsors may exert significant influence on an organisation while some benefactors do not want such an influence. Also that many wealthy backers / supporters of clubs do not have or expect 'total control'. It is a little bit more complex than some would pretend.
I am delighted that Bramley's 'ownership experiment' has been handed a lifeline by a private business concern and its profits.
