In 2014, it was announced that major shareholder, real estate investor Harry Stamoulis and fellow shareholder Robert Belteky, Managing Director of car parking company Care Park, along with some other minority shareholders, would offer their combined 35% stake in Melbourne Victory for sale to the general public, making part ownership of the club available to regular fans, a first for an A-League club. However, despite payments already having been collected from fans by the facilitator of the sale Deloitte, on 12 November it was announced that the entire allocation of shares were eventually purchased "by a small number of long-term substantial shareholders".
