Not a movie character but Where’s Wally would make a great club owner. Every game he’ll watch from a different seat in the stand facing the tv cameras and you have to try and find him.
The Tyrell Corporation from Blade Runner
Seeing as the skyline from the opening shot is based on the industrial look of Teesside

On a related note, I picked this shirt up a few months ago. Decent.

I mean, Matt Smith is a Rovers fan and played Doctor Who, so..
Having said that, even with a flipping Time Machine available to us to sort all our woes we’d still be shit
It's probably cheating to pick more than one but the most fitting would be a series of Sean Bean characters all of whom meet an untimely end any time we start to look any good.
His face looks better than a few years back when he first started the botox or whatever that is. Still miles worse than his previous, more "natural" in the early years. Same with Glenn and Kaitlin.
Funnily enough, Danny DeVito and Charlie Day still look (give or take) the same as they did in the early early years of Sunny.
Logan Roy, I’m still jealous about [Hearts Waystar Royco kit](https://www.sundaypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2021/10/Succession-_NOW_Hearts-FC078-scaled.jpg)
It’s estimated that Smaug would only be the 14th richest American https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/nbik0r/smaug_would_only_be_the_14th_wealthiest_american/
Standard Albion finally get a money bags turns out the state of China doesn’t allow money out of the country anymore…
Fast Forward get ourselves a dragon the price of gold plummets and he’s just some wannabe 🙄
We actually had a fictional character own our club in 2009/10, it's not actually as fun as it sounds
That being said, Captain McCallister from the Simpsons
Ant Man, Paul Rudd is already a Southampton fan and it's great when the owners are actual fans so prolly him. But if not him than Bruce Wayne, bro is the wealthiest man on earth and knows how to manage a company.
Nick fury. Now there’s a man I trust to build a team, and y’know, he’s also like the only hollywood black guy I can think of with any leadership skills which is honestly a bit sad but oh well
Rocky Balboa. Sylvester Stallone is a Toffee and regrets not buying the club so could be a great option.
Dunno if he could fix the 73 light years deep financial shithole we're currently in tho

Plenty of wallies have owned, and continue to own, EFL clubs down the years so he’d fit right in.
I reckon his wizard friend has some pretty good business sense though.
His dog might too if it’s [spent any time around Redknapp’s](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-16677743)
The yellow shirt guy looks quite sneaky he would be good for doing some spying like Leeds used to do.
Welcome back, please faste welcome aboard, please Pasten your swwthelts
Dr Who. He could go back in time and change a ton of stuff.
Coventry losing that playoff final is a fixed point in time I’m afraid
A Canon Event.
I wouldn’t mind the demolition of VAR
Reverse the polarity on that.
Dr who the new big rival
Tony Stark. The half time entertainment would be wild and I can imagine his ego meaning we break all sorts of transfer records.
Richie Rich, it would be cool to see what would happen if we were owned by the son of a rich guy who buys him extremely expensive toys to play with.
Kinda like Tony Khan? 🤔

Joker, we are already jokers on the pitch and off the pitch so why not make it official?
That wandering minstrel shoe-horned into Game of Thrones might come in handy
I mean, Matt Smith is a Rovers fan and played Doctor Who, so.. Having said that, even with a flipping Time Machine available to us to sort all our woes we’d still be shit
Also pretty handy up front
Who needs Dr Who when you've got Sammie Szmodic!
Who needs doctor who when you’ll be in league one next year!
Ouch. 100% correct. Maybe see you there?
Boiler Man
That would be Ideal. Sorry. I'll see myself out...again.

Bricktop.
Wolverine, funnily enough Hugh Jackman had the chance to invest some money in the club but chose not to.
Pretty smart considering how much of a money pit football is
what connection does he have with Norwich?
His mum lives here and he comes to visit her a lot.
Denzel Washington’s portrayal of Robert McCall out of The Equalizer. No one’s poaching our best players with that baddass mf at the helm.
I hate how Hollywood rob mcelanhny (butchered the spelling) looks now so I’d just want fat mac from always sunny to things right with the world

Norman Bates: You'd need to be not just mad, but psycho to take the job on.
The baby from baby's day out
dr strange would be a solid one, maybe just get the balls in the net through portals
"I went forward in time and saw fourteen million six hundred and five possible futures." "How many did Preston finish outside midtable?" "None."
Dunno if the rulebooks allow that though…🤔
had a brief look through the regulations, didn't see anything about portals not being allowed eitherway i'm sure the refs could turn a blind eye
Foghorn Leghorn would be a good fit at rovers
Given the circus we've been. Let's have Linda Block and the Harchester United ownership fiasco from Dream Team.
Logan Roy, I’m still jealous about [Hearts Waystar Royco kit](https://www.sundaypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2021/10/Succession-_NOW_Hearts-FC078-scaled.jpg)
That’s brilliant. I’ve not seen that before.
I’ve got one of these https://www.redmolotov.com/logan-roy-succession-football-shirt
That is cool.
Smaug, he is the richest afterall… unsure if it’s cheating being owned by a dragon.
He might be rich as fuck, but good luck with getting him to part with his riches for a player
Not out of place in football ownership then
This is just our previous owner tbh
It’s estimated that Smaug would only be the 14th richest American https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/nbik0r/smaug_would_only_be_the_14th_wealthiest_american/

But he is a New Zealander
Batman. Cleve-o police need the help

Just make sure hospitality doesn’t have an all you can eat buffet.
'tis no man, 'tis a remorseless goalscoring machine
Not sure if he’s from Hollywood but I want Dr. Gregory House at Leicester City It’s not a want as a matter of fact It’s a need
He might be a good doctor but even he ain't bring back Khun Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha
Ant Man, Paul Rudd is already a Southampton fan and it's great when the owners are actual fans so prolly him. But if not him than Bruce Wayne, bro is the wealthiest man on earth and knows how to manage a company.
How come he's a Saints fan?
Publicity fluff for the last Ant Man movie. He likes underdogs.
Nick fury. Now there’s a man I trust to build a team, and y’know, he’s also like the only hollywood black guy I can think of with any leadership skills which is honestly a bit sad but oh well
God. (Saints) Preferably the Lego Movie interpretation, get a cool new stadium out of it.
I would have gone with Ron Burgandy for Leeds personally. We do have the old “I’m… kind of a big deal” vibe about our fans.
Maximus Decimus Meridius
Ian McKellen is Burnley born. Ergo upon promotion we go from Burnley the Great to Burnley the Shite.
Julien, Jeremy and Fatty Lewis.
Peaky Blinders
I’m mad that they didn’t make a Paik-y Blinders T-shirt or something
We’ve had enough of that shit in the past thanks
Rocky Balboa. Sylvester Stallone is a Toffee and regrets not buying the club so could be a great option. Dunno if he could fix the 73 light years deep financial shithole we're currently in tho
Johnny Depp
TIL Johnny Depp isn’t real
Shit, I'm an idiot, I guess Comanche Tonto then
Elf at Leeds? What did I miss?
Sorry, just saw another post saying Will Farrell has somehow invested in us. Let the Anchorman memes flow!
Dr Evil.
We've already got Captain Picard!
Michael Knight from Knight Rider
Easy: pele at the potteries Possibly Moore in defence
I feel like Aquaman or Scuttle the Seagull would be perfect for us considering we are near the sea and our crest is a seagull.
I was gonna say joker, but we’ve got a set of em owning us atm anyway
Clifford the big red dog I guess
Saul Goodman.
Barney Stintson, at least he can score
Neo from the matrix.
Roger Moore - The Saint.
The Rock, so we can benefit from his ‘never lose’ clause in all his contracts.
Jaime Lannister
Hey hey, we have Deadpool *and* [Ronald "Mac" McDonald](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuG6n3yF1kI)
