Fair enough. I didn’t realise.

In that case the "big clubs" are the current PL. Leeds aren't in the top 20 teams, quite clearly, but I think they might just be a bigger club than Bournemouth. - And my comments were about how you measure a "big club".Doesn't matter what size their stadium or attendances are, or how many trophies they've won in the past. It's what they do on the pitch in the present era that counts. If they finish in the top two, or win the play offs then, like it or not (and I won't like it), they'll deserve their place in the cash cow that is the PL. Not until then though.
They certainly are a bigger team than Bournemouth, no arguments from me on that. But that's not the criteria for playing in the PL. Given 10 minutes or so, I could probably rattle off 20-30 clubs who are "bigger" than Dorset's finest. But the Cherries have earned their place in the PL through hard graft. L***s were grossly mismanaged in the Ridsdale/O'Leary era, and paid the ultimate price. You also imply that I said that the current PL clubs are the biggest in the country. Please show me where I said that. As I said earlier, if L***s do get promotion, then I can have no complaints. Won't stop me trying, mind!In that case the "big clubs" are the current PL.

You said it was down to what they do on the pitch and that if they come up they've deserved it. But my comment was about how one defines a "big club". Let's just agree to laugh at their current difficulties.They certainly are a bigger team than Bournemouth, no arguments from me on that. But that's not the criteria for playing in the PL.

I'd love to see Leeds coming back up, I know they are scumbags and hateful cnuts! But, Much prefer the like of leeds and forest get promoted than WBA and Fulham! At least theyd both be good away days and home games would both be packed out away ends.
Oh if Lids get promoted I'm sure you will have complaints... and with justification. Fuck em.They certainly are a bigger team than Bournemouth, no arguments from me on that.
