This is pretty much accurate and a great assessment, and your research on history is second to none, there are a few I may possibly change but that would only be my opinion, excellent work well done 👏

[@temporaryuseraccount0012]

Probably the first table ranking list I've seen that didn't rely on too much "recency bias." Most other KZbinrs and even so-called professional football pundits, often skew WAY too much towards recent memory of club's performances, rather than their traditional status within the respective English leagues. A very well-balanced list.

[@Huayra21]

tbf I think it was a lot easier to win trophies back then because there were no “big6”. It’s so much harder to be successful in the last 20ish yrs and even maintaining top division football is a huge achievement. That’s why leicesters pl for example is massive. For me that’s more impressive than winning 2 top divisions in the 70s

[@SpringsteenRecordings]

Carlisle have spent 1 season in the first tier, 12 seasons in the second tier, 47 seasons in the third tier and 34 seasons in the four tier so they're definitely worthy of League 1

Pretty much spot on pal. The likes of Bournemouth, and Brighton are pretty much punching way about their weight historically.

[@temporaryuseraccount0012]

Yeah, for real. Which is absolutely no slur on those clubs. Quite the opposite, it's a testament to how well their current ownerships are running those clubs. But they are playing "leagues" above their traditional ranking within the football pyramid. It will be interesting to see just how long they can continue to maintain that overachievement. History suggest, that once their ownership changes hands (whenever that will be), clubs who do overperform so much, quickly revert to type and recalibrate back to their traditional standing.

[@petef7323]

@temporaryuseraccount0012 exactly this. 💯

[@paulhanson5164]

True, but history changes, what really limits a club is the size of the local population. I'm a Villa fan who moved to Bournemouth 15 years ago and back then you saw more Villa fans around here than Bournemouth fans, now every other bugger is wearing Bournemouth gear, they start building the new ground soon. With a metropolitan population of over half a million, half that again nearby and no local rivals this town could support a big club.

[@temporaryuseraccount0012]

​@@paulhanson5164 I'm sorry, but I do believe that Bournemouth is the kind of club which will be relegated before too long. Perhaps, within the next five seasons or so. I do not regard Bournemouth as an example of a club that could break the mould long term, to become a top club, when traditionally, it has never been. History is not something to be easily disregarded, as thoughout history, many many clubs have experienced periods of prosperity and austerity and success and disaster. And yet, it is still more-or-less the same main clubs who time and again, rise back to the top. Bournemouth have never been one of those clubs, so it would be a small miracle for them to buck the trend.

[@paulhanson5164]

Pleased to see that Rovers make the cut, even if only just! I know we've been in a rut since 2010 thanks to our "esteemed" owners but, aside from the 70s, 80s & 99-01 we've been a First Division / PL club, & regularly attracted 50-60,000 fans in better days; not bad for a town that even now only has a population of 130,000 and many other clubs in the area. In that context, & given the recent mismanagement at the club, the crowds we get even now aren't too bad. We've only spent 3 seasons outside of the top two divisions, in our 149 year history. As founder members of the Football League & Premier League, the only founding club to have won both, the most successful town team in England and the only club to have won a major trophy in each of 1800s, 1900s & 2000s, we have a unique place in football history that should rightly put us in the top echelons in any such list.

Hi Matt. Love your videos. Thank you for putting my home club, (Burnley F.C.) in the Championship. I must admit though, I'm gutted you have got our big rivals, (Blackburn Rovers,) above us in the Premier League. I do remember though, Burnley in the top flight came up against a southern league team in the 3rd round of the FA CUP in 1975. A lad that went by the name of Dickie Guy who played in goal for the Dons played a major part in their win against us. If my memory serves me right, Wimbledon made a draw against Leeds United, (0-0 at Elland Road), before going out in the replay getting beaten by Leeds. So Dickie! If you have read this, you may not have played for my club, Burnley, you are still one of my heroes.

Great video and list. The bottom of the Prem and top of the Championship is very close I think between lots of teams. You have many teams who were historically very very big clubs like Wednesday and others who have been strong throughout their past like Stoke and Burnley and have been far better in the past couple of decades. Has anyone made a algorithm or system to calculate this? Obviously that would be still be subjective but would be a cool idea I think if you weighted different factors together, I'm sure someone has already done this though.

[@rosst8919]

Stoke haven't been strong in the past. One league cup in their history

I would definitely have put Grimsby Town in League One rather than League Two. They do actually have previous top flight history, even though this ended just after WW2 in the late 1940s.

Blackburn is a bit of a shocking one. They were good in the 90s because they were funded by a rich owner. They have a very distant history, but if you put Blackburn up there, you would have to put Preston up there too.

[@badgerboy4448]

You need to recheck the history. Preston where a founder member of the football league and won two fa cups and 2 top flight titles. The last time they were in the top flight was 1961 which was 63 years ago. Blackburn were founder members of the football league, founder members of the Premier league. They won the top division 3 times which includes 1 premier league win. The fa cup 6 times (including 3 times in a row which no other club has done). 1 league cup and 1 charity shield. After they got relegated they came back straight away for an even long spell lasting 10 years. Preston has not played in the prem. Blackburn were last in the top flight in 2012. Preston 1961. In there last stint top flight stint Blackburn finished high as 6th and played in Europe. There is a clear difference between Blackburn and Burnley, nevermind Blackburn and Preston.

[@alienzenx]

@@badgerboy4448 I know the history. My post was precisely accurate. Before Jack Walker invested at the time unprecedented amounts of money, they spend 40 years mostly in the 2nd and 3rd divisions, and hadn't been in the top fight since 1966. Their last title was more than 100 years ago, except for the 90s when they had artificial money. You could take any club, and invest money and make them into champions. If you remove Jack Walker, Blackburn are almost exactly the same as Preston in terms of history. Parma and Deportivo La Coruna also had success when they had rich owners investing money. It doesn't mean they belong in the premiere league.

Middlesbrough is in Yorkshire, so you can kick out one of those tin pot ones Leeds or two of the Sheffield teams and put us in.

I love your love for us Matt, but I think we’re one of the longest serving members of the Championship. Im 40 next year and in my lifetime we’ve been a 2nd tier team for a large majority of it.

you have quite a bit of history tho. i think thats what swings it for your club to be in the pl.

I think huddesfield were the first team to ever win the english top flight 3 times running.

It's weird with the 'Big 3' East Midlands clubs they all have a claim to being the biggest Derby: Most total seasons spent in the top flight Biggest fanbase Most 1st divisions Founding member of the football league Currently the only team of the 3 to not be in the Prem Forest: European cups ofc Most major trophies Leicester: Recent success (Prem title) Most recent of the 3 to be in Europe

[@tdbseymour920]

Derby do not have the biggest fanbase

[@rjw4762]

I'd always admit that Derby have a large and loyal Fan Base (27,000 Home Fans most weeks pay to go....but they are paying lower prices it must be said). Forest has the biggest fan BASE of the 3 - their fame and fandom goes well beyond the Country boundaries (unlike Derby and Leicester). Right now Forest could sell our a 40,000 Seat Stadium, no trouble. What Leiceste achieved in 2016 was the greatest 1 season miracle of all time in English football - respect !

[@joebradfield6549]

You forgot Leicester won the FA Cup as well

[@rosst8919]

@@rjw4762 Leicester have the highest average attendance historically out of the 3 of them and could also fill out a 40k stadium (32k each week and over 10k on season ticket waiting list). Leicester had a higher average attendance in the championship last season than forest in the premier league. Also you cant say Leicester doesnt have fame and fandom now after 2016.

​@@ScottBlade1889but that is measured not by time spent only, but also by historical success, recent success, fanbase and other factors. Ipswich have won a major European trophy, and won the prem right after getting promoted, a feat no other english club has managed, ever.

[@paddypleiner5518]

"Let's put Ipswich in the Prem" also "Let's put Boro in the Championship"... Also, Swansea spent a good while in the 4th division... and Bristol City most of the time in the 3rd Division, overall a lot of recency bias with a preference for some "I think" teams

Perfect for the international break; nice one Matt.. For me based on age and fading memories: Arsenal Aston Villa Chelsea Derby (Brian & Pete) Everton Fulham Ipswich Town (Paul Mariner et al) Leeds Liverpool Manchester City (for Maine Rd greats like Dave Watson, Asa Hartford, Paul Power) Manchester United Newcastle United (just) Nottingham Forest Queens Park Rangers (el tels side) Sheffield Wednesday (Hirst, waddle & Walker) Southampton (Lawrie, Keegan, Channon) Sunderland (OBH & my mate🤷‍♂️) Tottenham Hotspur West Ham United Wolves If 22 Coventry City (Jimmy & John) Watford (Barnes & Fash) If 24 Bolton wanderers (World Cup winners) West Bromwich Albion / Stoke- both anti football so neither for me 🤷‍♂️although probably WBW for Cyril
