CCFC~ RANKED 9th WORST OWNERS on SPORTINGINTELLIGENCE

Hi All - as soon as you clicked this thread, I bet you are thinking.. here we go another plonker sh!t stirring and being negative again.. I am genuinely not, just a fellow local canton lad neutral on the whole re-brand, loving the football but just thought I'd share an article I found during a lunch break which ranked Cardiff City FC as 9th Worse owners in English football

The worst owners in English football …
There has been an assumption by many contributors that this category would be a walkover for Blackburn’s owners, Venky’s, and they have come out on top. But that assumption also disregards the strength of feeling in other parts of the game about the way bad owners have destroyed other clubs (Portsmouth being a prime example), and how the super-rich have distorted the landscape for everybody else (Abramovich / Mansour).
The key to the graphic below for the ‘Why’ section:
Owners who have damaged a club, structurally or financially. This is clearly the case at Blackburn, where a well-run established Premier League club has been relegated and in turmoil for two years. It is also the case at Manchester United, where hundreds of millions of pounds of leveraged debt has meant tens of millions of pounds spent each year on servicing it; and this was potentially a massive threat to the club at least until the PIK debt was restructured. Ken Bates at Leeds took that club into administration and into League One, while the damage to Birmingham under Carson Yeung has been obvious, and the damage to QPR during Tony Fernandes’ free-spending but inexperienced reign is still unfolding. It should be noted, however, that although fans of Arsenal are not happy, not a single Arsenal fan said they were the worst owners in all of England. Similarly no QPR fan or Man City fan and only a tiny fraction of Chelsea fans thought their owners to be the worst.

Owners who have alienated fans, in myriad ways, whether at Blackburn, Portsmouth and Leeds (all obvious), Manchester United (over tickets as well as debt), Arsenal (lack of trophies combined with high prices) and Cardiff (an unwanted ‘rebranding’ among other things).

Owners perceived to be damaging to the wider game through ‘buying’ success and distorting the playing field on a scale not seen before they arrived; ie: Abramovich and Mansour. It is notable Sheikh Mansour is also high in the best owners, and not as high as Abramovich in the worst owners, perhaps because he is seen as wholly good for his own club, unlike to autocratic Abramovich is perceived to be.
<p>Notable also is the perception of the fans of the clubs here: all City and QPR fans think their owners are good, as do most but not all Chelsea fans. But Blackburn’s owners and those at United, Portsmouth, Bates-era Leeds and Arsenal are anti-owner in relation to their own club. The breadth of feeling against these particular owners is shown by the number of different clubs’ fans who voted them as worst owners.

Sport Intelligence...

Acquired information from fans Survey....

So it's based on opinions and not facts or hard evidence of buisness malpractice .

Not surprised.

CCFC~ RANKED 9th WORST OWNERS on SPORTINGINTELLIGENCE - As per 11 people who have no association or allegiance with our club. Sporting intelligence my arse.

Worst post since Polo confirmed that he wanted to marry Angry Man......

OH MY GOOD GOD SHOCK HORROR, OTHER CLUBS SLAGGING US OFF.

SOD THEM, THEY ARE ALL JEALOUS.

Obvious we would be in the top 10 if not 1 Cardiff fan participated.

I personally think the fact that fans of 11 other clubs voted for us shows empathy, not jealousy.

I wonder how many of the roughly 27 fans that voted for Cardiff were Swansea fans for a start?
