The deal with Sterling got me to thinking about who are the worst owners in the world of soccer. So what does the board think?

So far I'm thinking

Bob Kraft
Vincent Tan
Jorge Vergara
Roman Abramovich (I'm sure this might be debatable but he doesn't have to change management more often then his underwear.)

What's your definition of worst?

Roman, Kraft, and Tan have lifted their teams to uncharted heights.

The team's done very well as of late. He may not be the most efficient owner, but the product his club puts out is pretty solid.

ETA: I have no other contribution to this thread

Damnit I'll edit. Been studying too much recently and skimmed (poorly apparently) the thread. Relating Sterling to the thread threw me off

Does he even know he owns an MLS club? He's one of the best NFL owners but now the worst in MLS. All these years with no new stadium and no big name player. I think soccer can do well in that market but they need a new stadium located in Boston or somewhere close to a transit system. If he gets bored with the team maybe John Henry will buy them.

I was thinking something more along the lines of a Beckham, Henry, Bradley, or Dempsey signing.

Thinking back to the FA Cup game that Arsenal had with Coventry City it sounds like they have shitty owners. Moved into a new stadium but got into a dispute with rent and moved their home games to another city

Mike Ashley at Newcastle is pretty fricking bad. Worth over 6.5 billion and does very little. Can't believe he allowed the sale of Cabaye. They could have been in Europa with him.
