1 clubHow we identify owners
Every UK company must declare its Persons with Significant Control (anyone holding 25%+ of shares or voting rights) at Companies House. For football clubs this surfaces the named individual or holding entity behind each club. Where the ownership chain goes through multiple holding companies, we use the named editorial owner (e.g. "City Football Group" rather than the immediate UK parent).
Some clubs' true ultimate owners sit offshore (e.g. Aston Villa's NSWE Group in Bermuda, Manchester United's Glazer family trusts in the US, Newcastle's PIF in Saudi Arabia) and the UK PSC just reflects the immediate UK shareholder. Where that's the case, the editorial owner field overrides the raw PSC name.
Refreshed weekly from Companies House.
