but why would they do something to benfit the town? they are only buying safc...as one of a portfolio of sports club and other investments.
MSD Partners are not the buying vehicle. The principals are doing this as individuals (whether via a new LLP or whatever remains to be seen) precisely because they want this to be a long term project without the need to provide regular returns for investing clients. Part of this will involve increasing the club's involvement with the community. They understand that the relationship between club and city is essentially symbiotic.
