List of football clubs by size - completely subjective, we'll all have our different views
Anything from about 15th downwards is VERY open to question. I've also probably understated West Ham: plenty would put them 11th.
In terms of the biggest clubs - in this age of the Big Six, you can't put Chelsea beneath it given how they're CL constants. I've always been uncomfortably aware of Wolves' potential - and Leeds' still remains, even though they've not been in the Prem since 2004.
What the list below tells me is how hard it is for Norwich to be 17th or above: especially given the sugardaddy clubs like Bournemouth who operate miles and miles above their 'natural' status.
Ipswich, in my view, have gone from a bit outside the top 20 to outside the top 30 in less than a generation.
1. Manchester United
2. Liverpool
3. Arsenal
4. Manchester City
5. Tottenham Hotspur
6. Chelsea
7. Newcastle United
8. Everton
9. Aston Villa
10. Leeds United
11. Wolverhampton Wanderers
12. Sunderland
13. Leicester City
14. West Ham United
15. Derby County
16. Nottingham Forest
17. Southampton
18. Sheffield Wednesday
19. West Bromwich Albion
20. Stoke City
21. Middlesbrough
22. Sheffield United
23. Norwich City
24. Crystal Palace
25. Birmingham City
26. Brighton and Hove Albion
27. Blackburn Rovers
28. Burnley
29. Cardiff City
30. Watford
