Power-ranking history
Against expectation
Every English top-flight match this club has played, scored against the odds an Elo rating gave it before kick-off. Over 34 seasons from 1967-68 to 2000-01 it has beaten them by +6.4 match points.
Season points use that season’s own scoring, two for a win before 1981-82 and three after; the bars use match points so the whole series is comparable.
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.
Who controls the clubDoug King
Local businessman Doug King purchased the club from Sisu in 2023 and is also chairman.
