How do you reach these lucrative conclusions?So you'd class Newcastle, Sunderland and the two Sheffield clubs as bigger?
Don't be so naive.
It wasn't a lifetime ago when Forest won the European cup. Are Villa not a big team either?
Sheffield utd, weds, Sunderland are all a similar size. No matter what Sunderland fans say they were never a big club. Much like Burnley are not a big club. Neither are Wigan. They've all done well with little funding.
Newcastle and villa are both big clubs, able to spend large amounts on transfer fees with more of a national and potential global following, and far longer in the Premier league (not talking about division one as there was sod all money about in them days).
Forest once upon a time were a big club. But not any more. Bigger than us, yes. But then half of league 1 is probably bigger than us, and all of the championship certainly is.
