10 Owners That RUINED Their Football Club! 

is it me or most of these failures basically all Italian clubs

Charlton Athletic should be on the list. There owners are truly awful.

Silvio Berlusconi these 8 years was destroying AC milan.

Randy Lerner ruined Aston Villa taking us from Europe to the championship and only selling us after he took the premier league rights money

Hull City Tigers would be a great name for a club.

George Gillet and Tom Hicks.

"Manchester Hunter" killed me

That guy from 0:11 - 0:14 seconds, got one giant ass porno mustache 😂😂😂

Margarita Louis-Dreyfus worked hard for sinking Olympique de Marseille. She inherited the club after her husband died and never had anything else in mind but to make as much money as she could before selling. So she sold most of the players, bought nobody (or a couple of very sub par players), put a very bad assistant manager as head manager and sold the club right after the summer transfer window. Now the new coach and new owners are looking at the huge amount of work they have to make the club good again.

How is Igor Kolomoyskiy not on this list? He is the owner of Dnipro. 2 years ago Dnipro played in the Europa League final, just barely loosing to Sevilla, now the club is filled with academy players that remained at the club (the better ones left) which along with the staff don't get paid. Also the club is being sued by Nikola Kalinic, Myron Markevych, Artem Fedetskiy, and Juande Ramos + his staff, and those are just the people who believe that justice might prevail, most others gave up.

Massimo isn't that bad to be honest yes he goes through managers because he's not that good at signing them but he's invested a lot for players and now with Monk we're doing alright. He's not our worst owner by a long shot

How is Vincent Tan (Cardiff) not on this list? Totally ruined our fan base by changing colours and badge. Trying to get rid of our Bluebirds identity making and trying to make us the dragons, not allowing bluebirds to be said over the tannoy. He tried to take over the changing room thinking he was a top coach. The guys a joke. Just google some of the things he's told our players/manager. Atmosphere has died in the stadium. But tbf he's been better and put money into our club.

Why is everyone Italian😂😂😂

Coventry City should be on this list. Tim Fisher and Joy Suprano don't know how to run a football club. Taking all the players sales and pocketing them for themselves.

Don't forget to get your Stat Wars end of season challenges in the comments right now using the hashtag #StatWars

Do a video of the best football owners +Euro Football Daily . Some of them deserve recognition as well.

You guys are so informational. Keep up the good work

Ashley saved Sevco from suffering the same fate as the old Rangers, so he's not all bad.

90% of this list is all Italians ballsing up half decent clubs.

The Glazers?

Vincent Tan for Cardiff City. Changing our home kit colour from blue to red and changing our badge. This meant our traditional bluebird was almost forgotten. Not to mention him sacking the manager who got us to a cup final and promotion to the premier league in just 2 years!!

how are Portsmouth not mentioned on the list. 2008- Fa Cup winners and then by 2010- 2 different owners, 20 points deducted for going into administration. Especially since its a club with such a large fan base, now in League 2 they have 16,000 fans turn up to each home game. They got shafted by corrupt owners who didn't have the passion to own a club like Pompey.

Keep it up Euro football daily

Gillette and Hicks should be in there.

there is a mistake on the first picture. zamparini's Venezia Calcio didn't have white-red stripes, that's Vicenza Calcio

Ken Richardson - Doncaster Rovers. Tried to sell the stadium in a national newspaper without council permission in 1995. Then paid a former SAS soldier £10,000 to set it on fire in order to try and claim on insurance, costing the club £100,000 in damages. He appointed a manager whose previous job was a lottery salesman at Stockport, relegating the club out of the football league with 34 defeats out of 46 games and a goal difference of -93.

Nice that you talked about Chagaev, because he really did fuck up Xamax and it was a really big deal here in Switzerland. Surprised that you brought it up :)

As a Newcastle fan I can say I'd rather have Ashley than anyone else in this list

Kjell Inge Røkke and Bjørn Rune Gjelsten, they literary destroyed Wimbledon or what is now known as MK Dons.

Surprised Ken Bates wasn't on there! From 2005 to 2013 he really fucked over the club selling Leeds' best players, laundered money to Chelsea and was more focused on private boxes at the football ground. I would certainly say that he was way worse than Cellino!

Where is Roland Duchatelet ????

If the Blacpools owners aren't number 1 i will jump out the window

The Oyston's are not new owners- they have owned Blackpool since the 1980's including during the Premier League season. The main reason us fans are so angry is because the club received £90 million in parachute payments which was not reinvested into the club but pocketed by the Oystons whilst the club has suffered three relegations.The Oystons then sued fans off the back of protests whist simultaneously mocking them.

Hey can you place Blackpool + Newcastle in here while leaving out Coventry City and Portsmouth? Bad list.

David Murray-Rangers He spent a load of money we didn't have on massive players who were on massive wages. Then he sold the club to Craig Whyte who put the final nail in the coffin

how did you make your youtube videos, what site did you use.

To be honest, Zamparini spent a lot of money and made Palermo a Serie A team (as he did for Venezia). His staff discovered great players as Miccoli, Toni, Cavani, Pastore, Vasquez, Dybala... Before him they were nothing, he didn't ruin at all the football club.

I was only bothered about Blackpool in this list

Most of them are Italian. I'm Italian this makes me unhappy

Just waiting for people to say "You forgot Ed Woodward!".

the guy standing next to Zamparini looked unsettlingly like Alan Partridge

I'm starting to understand why Ferrari F1 team cannot be governed by Italians. It's just doesn't work.

Duchatelet should've made the list.

I was expecting to see Vardinogiannis. He got Panathinaikos, a champions league team that could go even to the semis, he left him and now he can't go better than the Europa league group stages

Swansea's owners will be on this list pretty soon.

You' really cant say Ashley is worst than Cellino

Hey, if you own a English Premier team, can you also own a team in La Liga or in Germany? I always wondered if you can own multiple professional soccer teams in Europe as long as they don’t play in the same league.

everyone forgets Carson Yeung at Birmingham City, it's taken us 5 years to become stable even in the championship since he went to prison

Will you do 10 best owners?

Regarding #6, there is some light at the end of the tunnel for Leeds fans as Cellino has sold 50% of the club's shares to Italian sports agency chief Andrea Radrizzani with an agreement in place that he buys the remaining 50% in the summer.

basically never let an Italian buy a football team

10 owners that made there clubs great!!!

we had two different owners who nearly killed us (Luton) in the space of a few years John Gurney and then Bill Tomlin It ended up with us falling from the Championship to non league having a 30 point deduction and staying out of the football league for 5 years

If this list was ever updated, Ken Anderson for sure has to be in it. He's been bankrupted and banned from directing companies for 8 years, could potentially bankrupt Bolton since he hasn't been paying the bills and wages to staff and players.

Also all 12 owners who tried to join ESL

What about Peter Winkleman? I'm no Dons fan- but to relocate a team 50 miles north to enable survival of a business effectively killed a club. That being said, MK Dons are now my local team (facepalm)

won't be long till David gold and David sullivan on that list

It's a shame they are basically all Italian

Over the last few years I've put up with A LOT of shit as a Villa fan,and I've calmly dealt with it.But to not see Randy Lerner on this list was the straw that broke the camels back.

Romanov at Hearts. And anyone involved in either Rangers or Sevco over the last 10 years deserve to be on this list

This should rename this episode ITALIAN owners that RUINED Their Football Club

Hicks and Gillet ownership of Liverpool should be on the list.

Bill Archer, Brighton and Hove Albion, totally ripped our club apart.

Clive Palmer should've been on this list. Also, I never thought that I'd see worse owners than Mike Ashley. XD

I like the sound of hull city tigers 🐯!

John Gurney should've been on this list, nearly ruined us in just 55 days

I guess if you are italian you should not buy/make a football club

Love your shirt

greece has a tradition of bad owners, yet, there are some who exceeded expectations in the likes of: 1. Makis Psomiadis: He owned AEK Athens, after their most succesfull years in the 90s' and left them at the edge of bankrupcy (the major greek team would eventually bankrupt and relagate to the 3rd tier some years later) only to take on AO Kavala, to take them from semi-amateur leagues to competing for european spots in the greek superleague. Eventually, after the "koriopolis" scandal about fixed matches (+drugs that he sold to his son-in-law, Bourousis -olympiacos BC at that time) AO Kavala would disband and start from 4th tier again! 2. Alexandros Kougias: I can't even remember all the teams he owned from time to time, leaving them all relagated and/or in the edge of bankrupcy... From the likes of PAS Giannina to more recently Panachaiki (which he took from it's home city Patras to Korinthos, only to be closer to Athens) and AE Larisa. The former greek champions where struggling between 2nd and 3rd tier for a few years, but with Kougias on the wheel, Larisa came back to the Superleague. He fired Sakis Tsiolis, the coach that brought the team up from the 2nd division in a bad manner and replaced him with a coach that "may be the best coach in Greece", only to fire him, bringin' back Tsiolis, after a few months, after wins over teams like champion Olympiacos etc. Also, just like Chagaev, he fired the teams first choice goalkeeper, after a mistake that brought a 2-2 draw against Iraklis Thessaloniki, stating "you can't make a mistake like that, he must have been paid to fix the game" 3. PEK: A group of investors,leaded by Andreas Vgenopoulos & N. Pateras who where fans of Panathinaikos, bought most of the club's shares and went on through to make some great signings, in the likes of Gilberto Silva, Djibril Cisse and others... Despite the millions in transfers, the team managed only on league title in 4 years and two top16 rounds in Champions League & Europa League espectively in the first two seasons... after that, it was revealed that the "millioners" never invested moey of their own, but instead borowed money, leaving behind a huge debt, the team hasn't repaid till today. This made one of the most historic teams of Greece to never have won a league again and struggling for european spots 4. Spyros Papathanasakis: That was a tough one,because i thought it should be one of Antonis Remos and Spyros Papathanasakis, the two main "destructors" of Iraklis Thessaloniki. The choice of P. is mainly because he is still on the wheel of the team and even though he is responsible for bringing the team back to teh superleague, he might become the reason that Iraklis will drop down again (they are the favourites to relagate this season to 2nd tier... if everything works out well and the club doesn't bankrupt for the 2nd time in 5 years). When he bought the team, noone had any idea what his profession was and how he became rich. Even though the fans of the team where sceptical, they were happy for their team playing competive footbal, back in the superleague. But it all came to an end last summer, after it was revealed that, even though P. was talking about great signings of new players, the truth was the team couldn't even get a license to play next season. The fans rioted, expecting him to resign and sell the team. He promised he would, but, he in the helm of this sinking ship till today... and even though the team received a license thanks to the sale of the teams great star, Apostolos Vellios to Nottingham, which brought enough money to get going, the team doesn't seem like getting sold, because every investor that look at the economic figures of the team, can't find where the incomes' money go to (maybe P. 's account, i don't know) Ok, i never planned to make that huge a comment.... sorry....

damn i always knew that blackpool had lousy owners but i didn't know it got that bad

Many brazilian owners ruined many brazilian football clubs.They deserve are included on this list.

Bechetti at leyton orient 135 years gone in 3 !!!

This list could have been called ' Top 10 Italian owners that ruined thier clubs'

Peter Risdale did alot more damage to Leeds than Cellino has done..

Always duchatelet made standard go broke and just look at charlton right now

It's been widely reported that Leeds are being sold to Andrea Radrizzani

you forgot Eurico Miranda

MK Dons. Screw the Franchise. COYD

VINCENT TAN??? Much worse than the Hull owners. Changed our colour and badge, sacked Malky Mackay, said our goalkeeper wasn't scoring enough goals and replaced a board member with his son's friend who helped paint the stadium. Enough?

Carlson Yeung? Gave Birmingham no money at all for about 6 years, promising 80mill a year to spend on transfers and then took the club from 8 or 9th in the prem to relegation the next year and then got got put on house arrest for money laundering and wouldn't sell the club until this year

Find it amusing how this is being recommended now with that thumbnail, very accurate atm

wont be long until the new Swansea owners are on the list

Joop Munsterman? he made FC Twente champions of the netherlands but FC Twente almost lost their professional license by him

The Glazers.

Blackburn rovers, portsmouth blackpool, bolton, my list

Americans make lousy football owners as well. See: Kroenke (the primary reason Arsenal are struggling, he's especially terrible in the States, even lying an NFL team to LA), Lerner (got Villa relegated; Browns were shite under his ownership), Khan (got Fulham relegated from EPL his first year as their owner; Jags are also shite).

What about the Charlton Owner... The fans are protesting

how is aguilar and passarella not on this list? they single handedly took river plate into the second division...

You can add Swansea's owners to the list they'll be in the league 1 with the yanks in charge

may not have been the doing of one owner but Portsmouth till the fans brought the club

Zero hours contract are good if you are a student or part time as it is more flexible

So many of them are Italian wow

Where is sisu

The Marseille owner

It's funny how there is a disproportionate amount of Italians on this list

Vhere is Vladimir Romanov? He fucked up Hearts, and actually managed to dissolve multiple times Lithuanian champions FBK Kaunas(which later was reanimated by fans) and also Belarusian highest league club MTZ-RIPO(Partizan Minsk), while also nearly ending one of elite Europe basketball clubs (Žalgiris Kaunas)

Roland Duchatelet

Leyton Orient owner Francesco Becchetti should be on list

If David Gold and Sullivan aren't on here. then this is wrong

Where's the part 2 you promised?
