| "Big clubs" on 13:36 - Feb 20 by Churchman |
Interesting. Big clubs are defined for me by support, potential, history and money. The most important thing is that none of it matters. Your club is your club and the plastic glory brigade will never understand that a supporter of Chesterfield is just as passionate as a Newcastle or Liverpool supporter. There’s just fewer of them. No less important though.
Anyway, Chelsea were never in the same bracket as Spurs and Arsenal and Man City were just under Liverpool, MU, Spurs, Arsenal before the Arab money flood elevated them. One day Newcastle may join them thanks to the Saudi head choppers.
The Scottish clubs are not really in the discussion for me. So the top table is:
MU, MC, Spurs, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea.
The nearly but not quites are Villa, Newcastle, Everton, Leeds. Potential to join them are Sunderland, not Wednesday.
Mid range: Ipswich, Sunlun, Weds, Derby, Scum, Forest, Saints, Leicester, Wolves, WBA, Pompey, SU, Cov, Brighton, M’boro, Flum, Stoke, Birmingham, Charlton, West H
Wannabes: Burnley (small catchment area), Brizzle City, B’burn, QPR, Watford, Cardiff, Swansea, Hull, Brentford, Huddersfield, Bolton
Forget it: Luton, Millwall, Preston, Oxford, Plymouth, Barnsley, Bradford City
No chance: the rest.
Discussion over. Thank you. [Post edited 20 Feb 13:40]

Point of order - if your personal criterion are support, potential, history and money, why have Norwich in the same bracket as us?
We have four of the them, the one that Norwich has is dwindling weekly. |  |
