Another who are the 'Biggest' clubs analysis.

Recommended Posts

In a nutshell Leeds should be higher, West Brom, Bolton and Stoke should be unquestionably lower.

At the top, maybe Newcastle ahead of Villa in the same band as Spurs/Everton. Swap Liverpool and Arsenal.

The rest is much of a muchness.

Blackburn have won 6 FA cups and the Premier League, hardly that surprising seeing as we've won fck all in comparison

 

Was going to point this out. As shit as they are at this particular moment in time, they have had successes in the past and were very strong in the PL's infancy

HERE'S HOW WE WORKED IT OUT 

 

Crowds

We ranked all clubs on the size of their average gates during this season to reflect contemporary pull. Then we ranked each club by the size of their biggest historic gates. Their overall crowd rank is an aggregate of current pull and also potential based on past highs.

 

Global fanbase

We added up the total number of fans and followers for each club on Facebook and Twitter — by far the most popular global social media platforms. Every club has official accounts.

 

Trophies

We counted ‘major’ trophies won by each club, giving points for each; 10pts for each European Cup/Champions League win, 8pts for each top-division English title, 5pts for each FA Cup or other European trophy win, and 3pts for each League Cup win. No ‘one-off’ trophies such as the Charity Shield are considered because they are not the product of multi-match competitions. And being a losing finalist does not count for points either — here at Sportsmail, winning is everything, second is nowhere.

 

Average league finish

The average league finish position for each of the clubs since 1888-89.

 

Player quality

We counted the number of players from each club who have played for England, all-time, ranking the clubs by total. This reflects historic ‘bigness’. We then ranked the clubs by the number of players provided to the 2014 World Cup — a measure of modern ‘bigness’. The overall ranking is an aggregate of these two.

 

Income

We ranked the clubs by their income for the most recent season available.

The biggest clubs have generally had the most money and been able to buy and pay the best players.
