What that really means is people lending the club money and wanting to make a profit from it; so less of the proceeds of success actually go to the club.
If the gamble spending that money fails then the club still owes them the money plus interest. Some owners will keep loaning money for as long as the club can afford to cover the interest payments and/or recover assets.
Investors could take out a loan against the value of the stadium and/or future season ticket sales, perhaps the training ground too. How would people feel if the current owners did that?
