So hear me out, the current top 10 clubs in the Premier League should be considered a “big 10”. So the general rule for a club to be considered a part of “big x” they have to be:
- Big club - a big fanbase and history
- Financial strength - ability to spend a lot to buy playera
- Pull factor - playera wanting to join the club just becuse of the club name
- Consistent success
Now there is no doubt why the “big 6” is part of this “big 10”.
Now Aston Villa, Newcastle are big clubs, spend a lot, pull players from big clubs from other leagues and have had consistent good results in last 2 season.
West Ham is a big club, with consistent results (apart from last season). However, they have less pull factor and less financial strength from clubs listed above. But, I believe that their ability is in these categories is still better than bottom 10 clubs so that’s why they should still be considered part of “big 10”.
Brighton is the only highly questionable. They have results and relative financial strength. However, they have almost no pull factor and aren’t a big club. But if their results continue to be good they will start to become a big club and gain a pull factor.
That’s why I believe Arsenal, Liverpool, City, Tottenham, Spurs, United, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Brighton and West Ham are part of “Big 10”. What do you think?
Talking absolute shite lol. Theres only a big 4. City, Liverpool and Arsenal the inly clubs that can actually compete for trophies. I’ll include United just because of their marketing size and ability to still pull elite level players. Spurs and all those other clubs you mentioned have money but do fuck all except over pay for players that at best are good.
What a load of bs, when’s the last time arsenal competed for a trophy if you exclude the current and the previous season?
You cant exclude arsenal if the debate is for current lmao. Believe me I think arsenal are pish too but if its a debate about “current” big teams you have to include the current seasons
When’s the last time City competed for a trophy if you exclude the previous ten seasons? Or United if you exclude all of the 90’s and 2000’s?
