Ranking The Best & Worst Run Clubs In The Premier League

[@HaylSu]

As a Watford fan, it's always funny to see the disconnect between what the fans think and what the media/general football fans think. Glad you actually took the fan point of view! Happy with our placement, we're the best run we have been for decades but still room to improve

Entire way through, I was like "Brentford is going to be up there". When they came around at 2 and Norwich had already gone, I wasn't entirely sure who would be at top. In tears when it was Leicester. If anyone's in doubt how much those owners mean to the club, just take the year where the helicopter crash happened. Everyone were distraught. Players, fans and even some opponents. They are, in every way, enviable. Also becoming quite a fan of Bloom in Brighton!

Well speaking as a Spurs fan I think this was actually a pretty reasonable assessment of all the clubs in the league . I must admit I never thought Norwich got enough credit for even being able to get into the premiership as a relatively small fan base and a regional team I think they’ve done bloody brilliant without having to break the bank The same thing goes for Brighton who have done even better , very impressed with both of these clubs .

[@HarryKanee]

Norwich have decent support and sell out every week, every season in the champ. They clearly need a bigger stadium.

Oldham athletic are currently one of the worst run football clubs in the whole football league (soon to be national league), despite formerly being a premier league club. Really hoping you can make a deep dive on the club soon

Might be worst ran in any professional league of Europe although with Malaga, Southend United, and a few others around.

I don't disagree with Chelsea being middle of the pack, but I don't see how City can be so far above them. Abramovich needs the vote of the CPO to move the stadium. He can't just uproot and move off.

Good video but think you got us wrong, at Brighton our recruitment has been great but we have been unable to do what Chelsea and Man City do and thats is make good money of the players not good enough for the first team (ie Gyökeres, Locadia, Tau etc) but as a fan the biggest love I have for Bloom is not the improvement in the training facilities but it is the his loans and money into the club is unsecured, which sets us apart if he dies or loses interest there is no commitment for us to pay them back.

17th for Southampton is incredibly unfair given the size of their fanbase and the fact they have had one of the lowest net spends in the Premier League for the last 5-8 years. I would argue Watford are a worst run club than Southampton given they have a similar sided fan base and have injected similar levels of funding into the club but have achieved different results (e.g. relegation).

[@mattheendpod2659]

This was absolutely crazy. Sheer disbelief.

[@tajj7]

Yeh we are pretty well run over the last 3-4 years considering the circumstances. I mean Newcastle consistently moaned about Mike Ashley as an owner but how many £40 million players have Saints signed? None, we have had virtually zero outside investment for like 5-6 years now relying entirely on staying on the league and player sales. You could criticise the regime like around 2015-16, sales that gutted the team, poor replacements and poor managerial appointments. But since those people have gone we have been stable and self sustainable. Plus I don't think you can count clubs like Watford or Villa as being better run, they have been relegated and got promoted, and Villa have spent millions to sit basically the same level in the table as us (and have just replaced their manager, and almost got relegated the season before last), they have had far far more investment for no more success and they have had the benefit that all promoted clubs have, they come up in the PL get all the PL money but have players basically on championship wages for a while. When you are in the PL for a long time you tend to accumulate your longer term players on bigger contracts and strain the wage bill without necessarily having more quality. Bar maybe Burnley I doubt you will find many clubs that have been in the league for the last 5 years that have a lower spend or net spend than us.

[@bananaboy7687]

Didn’t Southampton have a takeover?

@@bananaboy7687 Yeh we have though basically the same people who were running the club are in place. We got a new CEO like 3 years ago, and new DOF and Chief scout over the last two years and the club has been much better run under them even though the club had no money because our owner couldn't get any money out of China. So now we have a new owner and hopefully some new investment so we should do even better considering what they have done with little resources. Also the guy that was a Brentford's co-DOF and a big part of their success is also part of our ownership group as well.

The true problem at Tottenham is Joe Lewis. So much of the blame always goes to Levy, but Lewis is the man with the money who refuses to invest in the team. Then when he does, he wants to spend bare minimum on academy players from the championship. On the rare occasion he buys a big player, he buys the wrong ones with shit attitudes and actively makes the sqaud worse. He's a cancer on our club

[@juliuszondag5515]

I agree with most of the list, but would bump Spurs closer to 14 - better run than Arsenal, as much as it pains me to say, but not by much. They've managed to go from title candidates back to 6th favourites for the Champions League, and while they could never financially compete with Man City for example, a little investment would have likely got them over the line at least once

Agree for the most part but no way Chelsea are below Tottenham or Norwich.

Spurs fan here. The club is run fine from a business standpoint. But football wise it's so frustrating. Our scouting has been terrible bar one or two signings (Reguilon, Hojbjerg, Moura), we've buy players who don't fit the system/manager, and Levy's transfer fee demands have made selling deadwood near impossible at times. Then there's the whole bit where our managers haven't been backed in transfer windows. Poch's whole interview about getting washing machines instead of dryers comes to mind. Poch had wanted Grealish, Mourinho wanted Fernandes, it's the same story season after season. And then we end up buying players for high fees who are trainwrecks (Ndombele, Sissoko, Sanchez)

As a West Ham fan, I agree with your placement here. We have gone from being one of, if not the, worst run club in the PL, to slightly-less-badly-run! I believe a lot of this has to do with the fact we've now got a manager who has some balls and is delivering with results on the pitch. That gives Moyes a lot more clout to tell GSB to back the hell off and keep their collective mouth shut, which was part of the problem. Moyes has proved with his signings that he knows what he's doing so I feel that's given him more autonomy and there's a feeling that it is the manager making transfer decisions now, rather than the board (Benrahma transfer being the possible exception, although he seems to be coming good now) so that also helps. Time will tell how Kretinski's involvement will work out.

And this might just be the Chelsea bias inside me but I can't understand how Spurs are above us just cause they have a shiny new stadium for the NFL and Dua Lipa concerts. Maybe if you're an accountant that ranking makes sense but from the perspective of a football fan, not really. Marina Granovskaia is an absolute legend and we're probably the best selling club in the world, Cobham is now the best academy in the country and arguably the best in Europe. Most importantly, our transfer model is on its way to making us self sustainable. This summer we broke our transfer record by signing Lukaku but still had a net spend in the positive. When we spent 200 million in the summer of 2020, that money came from the sales of Hazard and Morata. We have one of the best managers in the world and a young team of world class talents. Even the whole reason why we won't get a new stadium is because the fans won't allow it. Abramovich has already tried in the past to move us to a new venue but there is no Chelsea FC without Stamford Bridge.

Despite our uptick in form, Arsenal should be a bit lower on the list around 17th (we’re not the circuses that are Everton and United and the Burnley situation is deeply troubling), years of underinvestment and extraction of funds into Kroenke’s other teams still have us in a massive predicament

[@bri1085]

Under investment? Quite a bit has been invested into arsenal's playing squad the last half a decade and some. The problem it was a bit of a throw shit at the wall approach. Another problem is match day costing a fortune

[@meerkat4399]

We are in the circuses of United and Everton both even beat us this season We are literally known fr being the biggest laughing stock

[@adrianchadwick1007]

Could you do this video for the EFL leagues as I think Rotherham, Accrington and Plymouth would rank rather highly on this metric

[@jesperfuglsang]

You should probably update the list. I reckon it will look slightly different now...

[@nicholasbrown6858]

@18:24 hmm seems to me that Wolves are worth supporting. Shorty’s got talent ;)

[@chuckmeat87]

Top 3: Chelsea Man City Leicester Bottom 3: Burnley Arsenal Everton

[@LazarouDave]

Also might be worth noting - Leicester has managed all this, while simultaneously investing the in city itself - that alone should separate them from Brentford, imo

[@tdyerwestfield]

The only gripes I have with John Henry and FSG is that they invest in everything except what really matters, the team, all success has been down to lucking out with getting the most perfect manager Liverpool could ever have, and that after 12 years of ownership, FSG still don't seem to understand the fanbase whatsoever.

Can you do a 7 best run clubs in Europe? And/or a worst

[@snickerkoning4414]

You should consider making one of these video's about the best run clubs in Europe, or just the premier League. Edit: Im very eager to know if my club would end up in the video.

[@shgjjj2879]

That was an excellent video, would have put Brighton above Brentford though

[@_girltype]

11:52 - to be fair to derby county, they look well positioned to get out of the championship.

[@alexbrown8886]

Palaces biggest down fall was letting Barry bannan go. Cost them a great deal

[@HappyAppleBT]

Do a video on Swansea city our owners have ruined us as a club , as soon as they came in our days were numbered in the prem , and somehow despite the parachute payments we’ve been skint from day one in the championship

[@Urlocallordandsavior]

I feel so bad for Burnley, considering that they were at two points in their history, English champions, fielded a great team in the 50s and 60s, and were in a European Cup.

[@thabisompisane6600]

How are Chelsea not higher they have a great Academy champions of Europe and made a profit last summer

[@mancuniangamecat8288]

They are also 1.5 billion in debt to their owner.

[@bazzamckracken588]

This is true however they also entered the super league there is also the current disgrace of tickets in a certain area going up by 200% and also the fact they’re 1.5 billion in debt to their owner

[@Jonathanizer]

1.5 B pound debt. There's your answer.

[@jacksonbyrne5835]

No premier league title in 5 years, underwhelming given they are 1.5 billion in debt to their owner

[@bri1085]

They play in a potato

[@stevemorison3787]

Alfie: Manchester City can afford to spend £100m on Jack Grealish and ease him in Irish Guy: DID I MENTION JACK GREALISH HAS BEEN A FLOP

[@ianbehennah6618]

You wait mate. They said the same about Mahrez and cancelo

[@seangoodman7583]

When he started off at Everton at 20th Ik this would be a damn good list

[@keeshengang4132]

Sure Chelsea spent a lot, but look at our net spend, and compare that to City, it's kind of ridiculous how far above they are above us on this list
