When a club's owner is willing to invest huge sums of money in a club, the editor classifies them as sugar daddys.
There are three types: foreground, background, and those who help the club out in tight spots.
Think of Roman Abramovich pumping in money to sign players and improve facilities.
Other famous foreground owners can be found at Mónaco, Man City and PSG, and they may demand signings of top reputation players, or have a particular philosophy.
The main focus of these investors is to look after the club's stability and financial health. You may get some incentives when you're promoted or qualify for a European competition, but don't expect much…
With that in mind, here is a list of clubs with owners willing to invest in the club.
