It's fair to say that there have been more popular owners than Newcastle's Mike Ashley. Not only has the billionaire come under attack from Geordies for the shambolic firing/not firing/resignation of Kevin Keegan, Ashley has also been criticized by a fellow Premier League owner. Now club legend Peter Beardlsey has lept to the beleaguered owner's defence claiming that Ashley "really cared about Newcastle."
So who are the worst Premier League owners? That is the question posed by our latest North Poll (in the right sidebar).
Liverpool's American pair Tom Hicks and George Gillet are personas no grata on Merseyside. Malcolm Glazer has saddled Manchester United with millions of debt. West Ham's Icelandic owner Björgólfur Guðmundsson introduced a management structure that drove Alan Curbishley out after players were sold without his consent.
Are we missing anyone? If you think there's a worse owner in the Premier League choose "other" and tell us about them here.
