Start with the eleven remaining clubs from the original twelve:
Bolton
Blackburn
Burnley
Derby
Stoke
Everton
Preston
Villa
Wolves
WBA
Notts County
Then I guess you can't avoid having some teams from other big areas of the country. Lancashire has plenty of representation, so no need for either Manchester clubs. I suppose that there should be a London club in there.
Spurs
Sheffield Wednesday
Newcastle
Leeds
Exeter
Ipswich
Carlisle
The Midlands needs more representation.
Leicester
Coventry

I'd go old school and do it according to who were founder member clubs and who arrived shortly after. Effectively the first 20 teams in the top division. Accrington Stanley Arsenal Aston Villa Barnsley Blackburn Rovers Bolton Wanderers Bradford City Bristol City Burnley Chelsea Derby County Everton Notts County Preston North End Stoke City Sunderland Sheffield Wednesday Tottenham Hotspur West Bromwich Albion Wolverhampton Wanderers Sorry to be pedantic but the Accrington FC who were a founder member of the Football League were not the same club as Accrington Stanley. Not at all mate, that's interesting, I always thought it was Accrington Stanley! Every day is a school day. |

I don’t really agree with the concept. The teams that deserve to be there are the ones that play well enough to get there and stay there. It’s like when fans dismiss other clubs as “tinpot”. To you they may be tinpot. To their fans that club means the world. You could even make the argument that fans of clubs like Brentford and Bournemouth who have spent the majority of their football-watching lives slogging around the lower leagues are the most “proper” fans of all. That being said, I do think there are too many London and south coast teams in the Prem these days. But the onus is on the likes of Stoke, the Sheffield clubs, Leeds, Sunderland, Middlesbrough, West Brom, Blackburn etc. to play well enough to replace them. Spot on. We used to (rightly) despise fans who would look down on other clubs as tinpot and our stint in the Premier League has turned some of our fans into those sort of fans. The currrent Premier League is a joke as a competition. It's dominated by silly money with only half a dozen clubs with any real chance of winning it. My ideal would be for the likes of Man Cty, Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal and Newcastle to bugger off to a European super League if thats what they want, dismantle the Premier League and reinstate the old first division. And get rid of VAR. |
