Good point Kim, hadn't thought of that! We would have to be 'The World's Oldest EPL Club'I guess :) Not a problem we shoudl expend too much time worrying about right now of course.
Its main value is as a pub quiz question and as a television news story at the end of the season, unless a miracle happens. Never made it easier to legitimately sell the club (but did make it easier for a shyster like Russell King to spot an opportunity).
Put it another way, when was the last time you heard anything about Sheffield FC?
The title may well be complete bollox - but I like it.
