Owner: Valeri Belokon
Approximate value:£200million

BlackpoolÂ’s return to the top flight for the first time since 1971 has been something much celebrated by its supporters, despite their recently departed controversial owner and lack of money.

In 1996, Owen Oyston was found guilty of raping a 16-year-old girl and served three years in prison. Ten years after his conviction, Valeri Belokon invested £4.5million in the club for a 20% share in the club. He recently took over from Owen after questions were put forward about his murky past.
