Who is or has been the best football club owner and how did they have a positive impact on the club you support? Here's some of your responses so far...

Richard Fletcher: Invest over £100 million into a club, then sell it for a tenner under the condition the new owner invests £30 million into the team. Without doubt Sir Jack Hayward.

Tom Beech: Peter Coates - Stoke City. Born and bred in the Potteries. Supported the club all his life, invested a massive amount of money, knows the game inside out and understands the role of chairman (I'm looking at you Vincent Tan). Couldn't wish for a better owner. No outside interference on transfers or making the headlines for the wrong reasons, just a passionate fan like the rest of us (with a few self made billions in the bank! Which has also brought thousands of jobs to the area).

Jon 'T' Finlay: Niall Quinn all day long. Legend as a player, gave his testimonial money to local hospital children's ward (before then players never did that). Became manager, then chairman, bought the club and left us in a solid financial position with a billionaire backer. The man is pure class.

After the death of former Wolves owner Sir Jack Hayward, we asked who is or has been the best football club owner? Here's some of your responses so far...

Sarah Scooby Rea: Sir Jack Hayward. Gave so much and only got £10 back. True gent and a Wolves legend.

David Pettett: 100% Steve Gibson. Saved Boro from extinction in 1986 and turned the club right around to what we are today. Superbly run club. True legend!

Paul Damerell: Markus Liebherr and his family since his passing. From League One with minus 10 points to third in the Premier League in six seasons [for Southampton FC].

Mat 'Hagrid' Nuttall: Jack Walker (RIP), Blackburn Rovers. His love for the club got us into, and won, the Premier League.
