    How do you define what is a big club

    The Mail have compiled a comprehensive table based on the history of 50 clubs that have spent time in the top flight.

    If you agree in principle with the way it has been done then you have to agree that Blackburn for instance is placed above Wednesday and say Forest because they have a decent income and their recent stint in the Premiership.

    Is it fair?
    It's probably as fair as anything that has been put up so far?

    Looks as fair a way as any to do it...they have left out one criteria though, the one of MASSIVENESS, which of course would place us at number 1. - view external link

    Someone releases one of these nearly every year.

    This one obviously has a few questionable choices - I wouldn't have put WBA and Blackburn that far up the table to be honest.

    It's not far off though, but I think the criteria could have been better.

    I must be seeing stuff though, the pigs are 24th. That can't be right...surely they should be below Hull!

    Is the Mail in cahoots with Dee Dar radio?

    It's a shame there isn't a category for 'heaviest manager' Pete, you might have made the top 30
