PL won’t allow its brand to be filled with second teams imo. There are plenty of clubs to fill the void. Teams like Leeds are bigger than City or Chelsea
Exactly. You only have to look at man city's and Chelsea's average attendances before they were bulked up with money to know that they are no bigger than the derby county, Notts forest's of this world. Good crowds? Yes, but not massive clubs. Even now city can't fill their ground and Chelsea struggle to. Despite the millions round the world that wear the replica shirts.
Clubs like Newcastle, Leeds, Wednesday and villa are bigger clubs than city and Chelsea but have not had the financial doping put into them.
