thewhiteman Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) there are many. particularly in the English lower leagues where the majority of single owners are English, implying local lad done good and bought the club In the higher English leagues the vast majority of owners are foreign. in Scotland it has to be said there is a mix of various options but with regards to single ownership the Brown family and the Thompson family at st.johnstn and Dundee utd have been holding the club together over a long period of time which can feasibly be described as successful. Others however that spring to mind from the recent past include, Brooks Mileson, Craig White, Angelo Massone, Vladimir Romanov It would seem single majority ownership is a bit hit or miss with no definite overall good or bad for any club The main over riding factor for the success of single ownership clubs would seem to be that the successful ones are owned by an individual or family that has always had a lifelong association with the club !

shull Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 To your title question, i would say very good as long as the majority person is a St Mirren supporter similar in class and ability to Mr Stewart Gilmour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bud the Baker Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Single Majority ownership is fine as long as it isn't Silent Majority Ownership. . Careful what you wish for - The Cap'n is a shareholder and IIRC at one point claimed to be the biggest individual shareholder outwith the BoD!
