Dear me is this big club shite still being aired? It's just My Dads bigger than your Dad.
Really, it is an odd subject to get exercised over . The sort of thing my old English teacher would have referred to as otiose, (in the days when English teachers would say such things and wait to be asked what they meant!)
The brutal truth is this:
Bournemouth, Watford, Leicester, Villa. Fulham , Palace and Southampton, have all attracted extremely rich owners in the last few years. Eleven teams in the Premier League are now from London or south of it.
The new order, (paradigm, as that old English teacher would have had it) is that "big" is overwhelmingly going to be south of Manchester.
I personally like it up here having been far and wide, but your typical ultra rich individual with money to burn and fun and influence to seek does not see this far up the map.
