Which other teams have there been with poor ownership and what would the longest 'Reign' be of such owners?

*poor ownership of course is opinion based but focusing on financial drop, league plummets and ludicrous decisions.

Rovers - Venkys

Blackpool - Oystens 

Sheff Wednesday - Chansiri

Manchester utd - Glazers

 

 

Mods please move thread if necessary was a bit unsure so posted here

The Oystons had hold of Blackpool for 32 years but at least during that time they rebuilt most of Bloomfield Road and had several promotions, including one to the PL. So some bits of good/progression in there.

Likewise Glazers - plenty of bad but fundamentally they have continued to invest in their squad and facilities and have won numerous major trophies even in the time since Fergie retired.

I'm struggling to think of another ownership regime that has held on to a club for 15 years and counting and delivered nothing good - the highlights, even for their defenders, have been keeping us out of administration and a promotion from the 3rd division.

I'm sure there are plenty of clubs who would consider themselves to have bad owners, until you know the ins and outs of all clubs it's difficult to pinpoint many outside the obvious. I'd wager than not many day to day football think we have particularly bad owners, we don't make headlines we bumble along apart from the recent managerial debacle but even that causes not much more than a ripple on Talksport for an afternoon.

The amount of years we've comfortably remained in the second tier despite being owned by Venky's seems to suggest there's a lot of terrible owners tbh.
