"The new [€13m] capital will be used to build a new training facility for the first team and a youth academy. The resources will also allow the club’s stadium to be expanded."

The capacity of the present stadium is 11.5k. Considering they're in a town of 50k, that and "Vision 2025" (top 50 European club) shows the level of ambition on their part.

Incidentally, although FCM own the stadium themselves, it is part of a massive sports and entertainment complex, including Denmark's biggest indoor arena right next door (capacity 15k):

Oh that we had that sort of vision in this country (Benham/BFC excepted)

FCM does not own their own stadium, although that would a preferable solution. It is owned by MCH, which is partly owned by the local muncipality in Herning. MCH also owns the Indoor arena you mentioned.
The problem with owning the stadium is that apart from 20 football matches a year it would be difficult to get additional income, as you will become a competitor to the arena, which MCH and the muncipality will not allow.

My mate is a VP of Risk for a well known global bank, it's a term used in the industry as far as I'm aware, instead of the more English terms such as "manager", "supervisor".
I doubt he was the VP of the whole outfit*...

* I could be wrong though...

Yes, VP is mass middle-management in American investment banks. Nothing to write home about.
