Who owns your Premier League football club? – The Athletic

With Mike Ashley’s sale of Newcastle United finally going through last week, giving PCP Capital Partners, the Reuben brothers and the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia stakes of varying size in the club, the ownership of Premier League football teams is back in the spotlight.

So, who owns your lot? See below for a breakdown of the ownership structure and board make-up of all 20 Premier League clubs…

ARSENAL

Who owns what?

It’s a bit of a Russian doll. The Arsenal Football Club PLC is a 100 per cent owned subsidiary of Arsenal Holdings Limited. Arsenal Holdings Limited is 100 per cent owned by KSE UK Inc. And KSE UK Inc is, as you most likely know, 100 per cent owned by US businessman Stan Kroenke.

Board members and their roles

Stan Kroenke — director

Josh Kroenke — director

Lord Harris of Peckham — director

Tim Lewis — non-executive director

ASTON VILLA

Who owns what?

Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens are the co-owners of Aston Villa, with chief executive Christian Purslow also owning a small slice.

Sawiris is the more hands-on of the two co-owners but Edens also heavily contributes towards the big decisions.

Purslow explained when Sawiris and Edens completed their takeover of Villa in July 2018, from then-owner Tony Xia, that he would only be a part of the club if he could own a percentage of it. The size of his share has never been revealed.
