of course they are a big club...soare sheff wed and west ham
i class chelsea as a small club.... just got money...
Sheff Weds have won FOUR League Championhips!
Plus Chelsea.. "a small club.... just got money", are you serious?
Before they got Abramovic their success rated almost identically to City's before the Sheikh:
Chelsea - 1 League Chmpionship, 3 FA Cups, 2 League Cups, 2 European Cup Winners Cups [8 major trophies]
City - 2 League Championships, 4 FA Cups, 2 League Cups, 1 ECWC [9 major trophies].
Attendance-wise too Chelsea have one of the biggest ever, just like us:
Chelsea - 82905
City - 84569
Plus we've both faired badly too:
Chelsea - average attendance in 1989 was just 15957
City - average attendance in 1965 was just 14753
If Chelsea were a small club who just got money, then so are we!
Leeds have won just 5 major trophies.
Their biggest ever crowd is just 57892 and they have a full city of fans with no other clubs at all in their city (there isn't any big ybs at all in West Yourkshire other than Leeds) unlike Chelsea and City.
Plus look at this table, I reckon that is the fairest table I have ever come across:

Leeds are 18th!

You do realise that Leeds are practically the same as City, right? In terms of success?
In the Revie years, did Leeds not win at least one European Trophy? - The Fairs Cup ( Eufa Cup) ?
They won two fairs cups but UEFA don't recognise them as honours.
