I've just been reading O'Neill's profile on the fishy site. It says this:

With interests in four other local businesses, David took the majority share of Accrington Stanley in June 2009 from predecessor Eric Whalley who had been at the helm of the club since 1995.

(My italics)

What an interesting phrase that is : "took the majority share". What exactly does the word "took" mean? Bought? Accepted as a gift? Borrowed? Or something else altogether?
