Saints officially a bigger club than Pompey

[Turkish]

And Brighton and Bournemouth 

hardly news but the ranking was based on the following 

• League titles won
• All-time average league position (with first place in the Championship counting as 21st overall, first in League One as 45th, and so on)
• Total top-flight points
• Total top-flight seasons
• Average attendance over the last 10 seasons
• European Cups won (including the Champions League)
• UEFA Cups won (including the Europa League)
• FA Cups won
• Cup Winners’ Cups won
• League Cups won
• Annual revenue
• Squad value
• Social media followers (Facebook, X, and Instagram)
• Year founded
• England caps won by players while representing the club
• Number of England players capped while at the club
• Club World Cups won

 

Saints ranked as the 25th biggest club in the country which I would say was about right although can argue about one’s either side of us. 

skates 33rd.

Can’t see the blue few accepting that , “rubbish innit mate, fuck off scummah cant… “

And they may have a point as it overlooks the vital matters of average decibels per home match, massive followings (especially Wigan away midweek), drums/bugles/bells at matches, banning orders, and tattoos per square inch of body surface …

Somewhere around 17- 25th is probably about right on the criteria set. Might have been higher but for the last few seasons

Biggest myths, most posts on social media about how great they are

i usually think these things are a load Of crap but these actually seemed one of the best measures of club size. Obviously can be some debate, arguably were bigger than Stoke and Middlesbrough for example but they’d say the same about us so id say over it’s about right

I’d have expected us above Burnley and Bolton as well. Certainly in the time I’ve followed the game (late 60’s). But both I think had long uninterrupted spells in Division One before my time. Which is a fair way of reviewing it rather than just since the EPL was founded. 
 

Skates position lifted by their brief success after the war rather than just the Redknapp years.
