Power-ranking history
Against expectation
Every French top-flight match this club has played in the Ligue 1, scored against the odds an Elo rating gave it before kick-off. Over 17 seasons from 1933-34 to 1974-75 it has fallen short of them by −18.6 match points.
Season points use that season’s own scoring, two for a win before 1994-95 and three from it; the bars use match points so the whole series is comparable. Played as Red Star Olympique, then Red Star Olympique Audonien, then Stade Red Star, then Red Star FC. The rating only starts telling you much after about 1960. Before that, knowing the era’s home-and-away split is almost as good as knowing the teams.
1946-47 table not final: source 4 matchdays short (20 clubs at 34 of 38) and one round mis-dated.
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 clubA-CAP
A-CAP, the US insurer that was 777 Partners' main creditor, holds the club after 777's collapse (Le Parisien, 8 Oct 2024: the bankruptcy did not undo the transfer). Patrice Haddad remains president. Stake not published.
