Where does your own club rank on the scummy owners list?

INEOS seeing fit to do the bidding of a betting company for coin once again reminds me of how unpleasant a set of owners we have. Brexit Jim is a veritable smorgasbord of despicable takes and actions and the Glazers, parasites pilfering the club. Of course, these guys are all small fry compared to certain other owners, but on a 1 to 5 scale with 5 being literal committed atrocities, they are around a 2.5, or so?

Where does your club land in the scummy owners ranking, and what have the owners done to achieve said ranking in your eyes?
 
You have Ineos covered, as for Newport with Huw Jenkins he over promised and has under delivered, sounds like a typical owner/manager right?

Nothing really scummy, just some questionable decisions when it comes to managers. No doubt he'll sell when he feels he can make some decent money out of the club (if things on the pitch turn around of course)
 
As a self-owned sports club led by many former players... 3? :lol:
 
Not the owner but might as well be

Florentino helped keep Cristiano's rape case hidden from the media for the 9 years he was at the club

So....2?
 
Not the owner, but Mark Ashton, our CEO went down in my (and a lot of people’s) estimation when he gave Farage a photo opportunity at the club.

And then executed a really low quality cover-up which completely fell apart about 6 minutes after he instigated it.
 
Only thing worse than our current owners that I can come up with is being state-owned.
Not that I'm putting up a massive amount of effort into considering it.
 
I think if you consider INEOS connections with certain Middle Eastern regimes and the Glazers own ties in that region then 2.5 is incredibly charitable as they are at the very least guilty of atrocities by association. My hometown club, which I do not support for long and very boring reasons, has a truly despicable Chairman in the form of Vincent Tan who has pretty much permanently scarred the image and reputation of Cardiff City with his disgusting and money grubbing attempts to make money out of the Sala tragedy, I would certainly put him at around a 4 just for being such a disgusting soulless pos.
 
Top of the league baby!

Seriously though if we go down on those charges. They have to have their "fit and proper person" thing revoked.
