The club was owned by Rupert Mannion until 2019, when his ex-wife Rebecca Welton seized ownership of the club after their divorce, which stemmed from Rupert being unfaithful to Rebecca, often with the help of the club’s Director of Football, Leslie Higgins. The club shares rivalries with fellow London-based clubs West Ham United F.C. and Crystal Palace F.C..
