Yup.
Personally I think there's two ways to look at mixed ownership. One is to look at ways to safeguard anything that bad owners would like to exploit, as you suggested, then sell whatever shareholding. Thus giving a chance to grow, bring in other ideas/experience and work to set short, medium and long-term plans.
The other way as seeing it as 'the great evil'.
