Ideal Premier League
« on: April 27, 2019, 08:41:56 PM »
Just for fun, which 20 teams would you like to see in the Premier League ? (Villa obviously). Ive gone with mainly big city clubs with big grounds and fanbases plus a smattering of 'town' football clubs. Ive tried to have a regional balance. The likes of Watford, Bournemouth & Brighton have all done really well, but to me, theyre just not big clubs.

North - 5 teams - Newcastle, Sunderland, Leeds, Sheff Weds & Sheff Utd
North West - 4 teams - Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool, Everton
Midlands - 6 teams - Villa, Wolves, WBA, Derby, Forest, Leicester
London - 5 teams - Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea, West Ham , Palace

The only way I think you could improve the list above is to swap out a couple of the 'town' clubs (?Derby, Wolves?) for Celtic and Rangers ..... but thats a whole different debate.

I'm not sure a club with 0 trophies and 3 top 10 finishes in their history meet your criteria  :P

Ipswich.
A major force in the early 60s (Ramsey) and the 80s (Robson).

I'd kick Arsenal out, make them start at step 10 and earn their way to the top flight for once.

You've got teams like Crystal Palace and have forgotten Southampton.  Are you off your tits?

If you were going to have an ideal geographic split then it would be better if Plymouth and/or one of the Bristol clubs were actually any good.

Carlisle would have a massive shout too.

It's almost as if it's better to make teams earn the right by being promoted and winning games.
