How do you rank English clubs in size

[Gazza Dazzla]

We were talking abou chelsea under bates i thought? That's when they almost went into administration.

They were spending well above their means under Bates, Harding bank rolled them through that decade before Abramovich took over. The decade before Abramovich should be thought of in exactly the same way as Roman’s empire IMO.

The stadium was a massive part of it. Just as the east stand was for us.

Liverpool & United
City
Chelsea
Arsenal
Tottenham
Villa/Saudi Sportswashing Machine/Everton


Like it or not City & Chelsea have bought enough success to earn themselves a solid worldwide reputation and for the time being remain a bigger draw for players than the those below them on the list. Chelsea and Arsenal probably interchangeable.

We need an era of sustained success to jump up on the list.
