I would dispute Man City on that list, not really bad owners and I think most of the fans are quite happy about what has happened in the last few years.

I dont get it why are you looking for a t-shirt on a West Ham website
Venkys at Blackburn.

More a reference to the family themselves rather than their stewardship of Man City. Human rights in Abu Dhabi are non-existent.

Good call.
Coventry City too, judging by their recent fans' protest on the pitch and even-emptier-than-the-Madejski stadium.
No MI6, my name is Steele.....Christopher Steel.
Have you got any room in your shed by chance
Cov have been royally shafted by the offshore hedge fund that owns the club. Having been shifted to Northampton to play for a while, the return to the Ricoh has proven to be a false dawn, as Wasps rugby club keep all the cash from the commercial deals, conferencing, catering etc at the stadium.
If you look at Cov's balance sheet, there's no stadium, a squad (intangible assets) with a net value of £17,000, less than what the Albion pay some players in a week, and debts of over £40 million.
Even broadcasting income is affected, especially by those fans who broadcast live from the stadium, preventing Cov making a fortune from that source of revenue.
I'm playing devils advocate here but 2 seasons ago we stayed up by the skin of our teeth.The atmosphere around the ground for home games when Hypia was in charge was nasty.If He hadn't resigned when he did I doubt he would have been sacked in the immediate future & we would have probably been relegated.Where would we be now if that had happened.Would CH be our manager no chance.
Would PB be our CEO I doubt it.
Would TB still plough millions into the club searching for the EPL I doubt that as well.
If all those things did happen we could possibly in the same position as teams like charlton,Portsmouth & Coventry.
All I'm saying is enjoy the good times but be mindful of how quickly thing can change.

I don't see much hope for Coventry there.
As an accountant, don't you think that a club like that,with no assets, would be better off going to administration? They could then do a Palace/Pompey/Leicester and write off their debts, accept the points deduction and start again with a clean slate?
No-one is going to buy them as they are and that debt will just pile up.
Coventry's plight does highlight how nonsensical is the notion that West Ham's owners are the worst in the land
