So hear me out, the current top 10 clubs in the Premier League should be considered a “big 10”. So the general rule for a club to be considered a part of “big x” they have to be:

  1. Big club - a big fanbase and history
  2. Financial strength - ability to spend a lot to buy playera
  3. Pull factor - playera wanting to join the club just becuse of the club name
  4. Consistent success

Now there is no doubt why the “big 6” is part of this “big 10”.

Now Aston Villa, Newcastle are big clubs, spend a lot, pull players from big clubs from other leagues and have had consistent good results in last 2 season.

West Ham is a big club, with consistent results (apart from last season). However, they have less pull factor and less financial strength from clubs listed above. But, I believe that their ability is in these categories is still better than bottom 10 clubs so that’s why they should still be considered part of “big 10”.

Brighton is the only highly questionable. They have results and relative financial strength. However, they have almost no pull factor and aren’t a big club. But if their results continue to be good they will start to become a big club and gain a pull factor.

That’s why I believe Arsenal, Liverpool, City, Tottenham, Spurs, United, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Brighton and West Ham are part of “Big 10”. What do you think?

    There’s currently a top one and some other number of competitors for 2nd.

    Until City’s hegemony is broken, we’re all just trying to get CL money to make the CL to get CL money to make the CL, etc, etc

    Its still the big 6. no one outside of the big 6 (besides newcastle) spends a 50 million plus transfer fee on a player. Wolves and everton got close but no one outside of the t6 and newcastle spends over 50 mill on one player

    Having Brighton and west ham being in the same bracket as City and Liverpool is wild

    Brighton are just Brentford but a few years ahead. If anything Brentford have done a lot better than Brighton did when they first came up

    West Ham finished like 14th last year, behind 5 other London clubs. Bit of a stretch

    Personally, I don’t feel the need to classify teams, I think even the Big 6 is a pointless thing.
