This dialogue is fictional and based on the article.

Chako: Hey Log, I heard Nissan is going to maintain its management rights over Marinos! That’s amazing, right?
Log: Yeah, it makes sense. Nissan’s decision to keep its management rights as the largest shareholder is likely aimed at ensuring the club’s stability. It’s an important choice for a company that is in the process of reconstructing its business.
Chako: But what does it mean that they might sell off some of their shares?
Navi: Selling off some shares is generally done for fundraising purposes. It seems Nissan needs to adopt a flexible approach to funding while progressing with its business reconstruction.
Log: I see, so they plan to maintain management rights while also taking measures on the financial front.

Admin’s Note

Nissan’s intention to maintain its management rights over Yokohama F. Marinos is great news for soccer fans. A company undergoing restructuring continuing to be involved in the operation of a sports club will likely contribute to the club’s stability and growth. As Chako pointed out, the possibility of selling a portion of the shares is understandable from a fundraising perspective. I want to keep an eye on how this will impact Marinos in the future.
