The below list is the top 12 urban conurbations in England.
If you look at the Premier League table and the top 6 of the Championship they are pretty much all there. Obviously, bigger cities are represented more than once.
I do not think this is any coincidence. In an unregulated capitalist model this is how the money flows.
Relative success of football teams now mirror the socio-economic strength of the urban area they reside in.
This was the inevitable conclusion to the Sky greed fest that started in 1993.
