Which football club would you say has the most disliked owners and why?

I would say Charlton Athletic, Hull City, Blackburn Rovers.

Sunderland could well be up there by the end of January depending who they sell.

I would add Coventry City to that list based on the scenes I saw when I watched their televised game against Sheffield United a few weeks ago.

Swansea City? Pretty sure most Leeds fans hate their owner as well.

Must say, being a Liverpool fan I do understand a lot of fans frustrations. Hicks and Gillett set the club back a good 5 years. It was amazing fan power and loopholes managed to get them out.

Ivan Gazidis & Stan Kronke must be very high on the list of most disliked owners.

Blackpool for very obvious reasons.

When Cellino first came to Leeds, you couldn't go anywhere without being told how awful he was. It all seems to have died down a bit now fortunately.

EDIT: Maybe thats because he's serving an 18 month ban

Mike Ashley is usually deeply unpopular. Or is he popular again now that they're winning games for a season?

Posted by: Silas 9th January 2017, 10:43 AM

I think he's still unpopular. There was almost riots in Glasgow when he tried to takeover Rangers

From going to Newcastle away on the 30th Newcastle fans seemed surprised that Forest fans could hate our owner more than they hate him.

I think Fawaz has made himself even higher up this list now, has to be in the top 3 at least!

West Ham fans have a bit of a love/hate relationship with Sullivan and Gold that's currently swinging towards the latter. Mainly because they try and do most of the transfer business themselves, which occasionally goes very wrong.

BUMP


Who would say has the most disliked owner and why?

And still Mike Ashley is the owner of Newcastle United.

Blackpool finally seem to have shaken off the Oystons, so they are no longer on the list.

Posted by: Mack. 27th August 2019, 10:27 PM

Add Steve Dale to the list for clear reasons given the news about Bury.

Posted by: Mack. 24th March 2020, 09:41 AM

Mike Ashley still giving us more reasons why he is disliked, especially trying to keep Sports Direct open during this outbreak.
