5. Newcastle – Mike Ashley – £3.5 billion
Ashley has also been heavily criticised by the club’s supporters, but if they can progress with Steve McLaren and his exciting signings this summer, they won’t be too upset.
4. Arsenal – Stan Kroenke – £4 billion
The financial shackles that Arsene Wenger has been operating in are off as of now according to those within the club, and the hope for supporters is that they start to see some of this wealth being spent.
3. Tottenham – Joe Lewis – £4.9 billion
A new stadium is on the horizon which will help the club in the long run, but results on the pitch need to improve as Spurs need to keep up with their rivals who are spending to ensure a top-four finish this year.
2. Chelsea – Roman Abramovich – £5.3 billion
Chelsea have been quiet in the transfer window this summer, but that doesn’t neglect the fact that Abramovich has ploughed serious money into the club over the years to build the new dominant team in England.
1. Man City – Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan – £20 billion
Their FFP sanctions were recently lifted, and City celebrated the news early by signing Raheem Sterling for £49m. It is fair to say that their owner isn’t afraid to open up his chequebook to improve the squad.
