Can anyone explain in simple terms the business reasoning for looking for external investment for the stadium? In the context of being owned by the wealthiest owners in the world and the fact that there are no financial regulatory restrictions on infrastructure spending by owners. Not a trick question, would just like to know if I’m missing something as I can’t immediately see the value. I could see the value if we were owned by owners who can’t cope with financial risk 

PIF clearly don't want to foot the bill and want someone else to pay for it - I assume with equity in return.

Even the richest people in the world don’t use their own money for things, they just leverage it.
