Wo1ve5 were only ever considered a "big Club" in the 50s under Stan Cullis (virtually) fullstop!
Before and since they're on a par with Blues.
"Big Club" is pretty meaningless. I mean Leeds see themselves as a"Big Club", and they're actually 23rd all-time. Some believe "Big Club" is defined by their Home Attendance. Well, fair enough, but Albion and Wo1ve5 have done well despite being small-town Clubs in deprived areas with more local rivals. The only measure you can use is consistent achievement, which 3rd placed Everton have done above 4th placed ManU, whether people in other countries are aware of that or not.

Would you like me to grade the scores so that recent Years' results are more meaningful than in the 1880s? If so, why?..............
and we'd probably still finish above you.
