Leicester - Vichai and family - have ploughed a ton of money into a provincial club. Won the PL and the FA Cup, established as top half PL side. Regularly gift the fans drinks, scarves, t-shirts, pints, pies (and crappy clackers). More importantly, have ploughed a fortune into the local community - millions to the local hospital, etc. Seem decent people, who genuinely care for the area.

I've wondered about this a bit... was their original motivation just to own a club as something to do, or as a business opportunity. And now they've just fallen in love with it and it's a true love match?

Interesting to see that no-one, as yet, has named Palace as having the worst owners.

That must be a first on NSC

So did I. The outpouring of grief from the club and fans when their chairman was killed, was the clincher for me.

Chelsea and Newcastle also featured in my answers, but not in a good way.

Q4 - Newcastle haven't really ruined anything yet since they've only just changed hands. So there's City and Chelski to choose from. So I did the only sensible thing and put Palace.

They haven’t had a single administration since 2010 to be fair.

Done but went with Burnley as worst owners. New owners seem be in it for money (might be wrong)

Would be gobsmacked if TB didn't come out a clear winner - especially as fans of other clubs have to vote for owner of other clubs. Hugely strong competition of Most Crap Owner tho eh? Tough one to call

AFAIK we are the only club that provides "home beer" to our visiting fans - for that alone we must be loved!

Best other club, Southampton for their business model over the years.

Worst, Manchester City as we haven't seen what Newcastle are going to do yet, and Chelsea haven't made as good a job at buying success.

Thumbs up for Bloom & Brentford
Thumbs down for Newcastle & other clubs with owners that have indirect or direct links to poor humanitarian records.
