One formula, every club the site covers. See the whole board →

Who controls the club

The entity that holds control today, one per franchise; co-controllers and minority holders are listed, never summed.

How this is measured

Exactly one control entity is recorded per franchise, so a portfolio can never count a club twice. Co-controllers and minority holders are shown as published and carry no weight in any total.

The chip names the evidence. Sourced: a primary source is linked (league, club, filing or tier-one outlet). Cross-checked: matched against the ownership-change sweep. Contested: disputed or mid-sale. Rows are reviewed weekly.

Stakes are as published, often only “majority”, and are not pro-rated. A record of control is not a claim about anyone’s intent or conduct.

Cross-checkedas of 1 Jan 2026

Larry Thompson bought the previously community-owned club outright in August 2024, its first private owner. Thompson died on 25 September 2025, and Wikipedia reports his estate owned the team as of January 2026. No later sale was found, but the estate's longer-term plans were not confirmed.
