You keep quoting victory as as example, how do you know how victory operates. My guess is that Dipietro has all the sway at victory, the others are just there and go along with anything he says/does.
So it doesn't work in practice? Football clubs all around the world are run in this way, businesses all around the world are run in this way where many people have a stakehold in it but at the end of the day one person has to have the final say on matters....so what, that's life.
But hey, it won't work in Newcastle for the Jets because plague and De-Champ say it won't!!!
I'm not saying I know how Victory operate in regards to decision-making etc and how much power Dipietro has but like I said their ownership consists of over 20 equity owners and would I be right in saying they are probably the benchmark in regards to how a club should be run in the A League?

Maybe Martin Lee is the answer but we all thought Tinks had very deep pockets too when he took over. Who is to say if Lee takes control that his empire has a downturn in a few years to come, which would leave us back to square one again.
