As for winning the lottery, name a club who hasn't benefitted from outside investment. Both Liverpool and Everton had unearned investment. Does the phrase "mersey millionaires" ring a bell. Without outside investment Liverpool don't become the behemoth they did in the 70s. Arsenal have had plenty of befefactors in their lifetime, the last being the diamond dealer who invested millions so they could fund the Arsenal side with Tony Adams etc. The rags would have gone bust without a sugar daddy before they had a chance to become famous.

At the height of our 1980's glories, I noticed a definite shift in Toffee fan behaviour.
Lot's, where I sat, became whiny and uber critical.
We went to games expecting to win easily, and certain players ( Southall and Reid) came in for loads of stick.
Success can breed contempt.

Manchester City have alway been the smallest side in Manchester. At one point Everton were the biggest side in the country. Liverpool as much as I hate them didn't have massive investment in the late 60's they just got a very good manager and went from there. Arsenal arguably the biggest side for years under Herb have always been there or thereabouts and only Real Madrid are bigger than Manchester United in the world. Leeds in the early 70's were the best side in the country.
Money is paying for your success nothing else. And nobody cares. Games ruined because of the likes of you. Celtic & Rangers are still bigger clubs than you ffs.
For a man that supposedly likes his history, you are incedibly ignorant. Up until the 50s Manchester City were the biggest team in Manchester. The rags were't even the 2nd biggest, that honour goes to Manchester Central. A club that were getting bigger crowds than utd but weren't yet in the football league. The rags begged us to help block their entry into the league and we did. Without access to the league they died a death. You really need to learn a bit more before spouting nonsense
For a man who doesn't care, you are doing an awful lot of bleating.

Leeds are a big club but have too many years outside top flight, lack of trophies , very big fan base but historically outside top ten in terms of crowds. Huge potential there, but never seems to really work out. You cannot put leeds in sanr bracket as arsenal let alone United and Liverpool. Everton are bigger than leeds not even up for debate. Chelsea have overtaken Everton Villa Leeds. City winning that champions league was massive for them and I suspect they will win it again. City always been a big club , back in 90s probably not as big as Villa and definitely not Everton but they are a galactic force now.

I'd say throw Villa in there.
They've won the European Cup and plenty of other honours too, also have a decent sized fanbase.

Forest are on the fringes of it - had one period of great success in the late seventies, but not much to back that up.

Back off and stop being a bell, you’ve been schooled twice now on City’s standing in the history of football so try being humble and take your own advice

Forest are one of my favourite clubs. Bit like Leeds no historical history and came good in late 70s and remained decent on and off until their relegation from the prem. Big club winning those back to back European cups when English football was king. Got something about them Forest have. Probably not in the top 10 in England though imo . Villas only downfall is too many long periods of not winning anything. Post war 1 league title 1 fa cup which we’ve won 7 times each overall . Granted 5 league cups and the big un, but we are underachievers I think .
