many of them clubs who are above leeds in the amount of trophies they have won, fall into two categories .
1. since the advent of the premier league , where it as been all about money , teams such as chelsea , man city , and to a certain extent man utd have all won many of their trophies , on an uneven playing field due to the massive advantages of champions league money etc , the premier league as been a closed shop for many years. for example man utd won more league titles since the premier league was formed than they had done throughout their entire history. chelsea had won virtually nothing before abramovich came along
2. the second category goes back to when adam was a lad , i,e pre world wars one and two , when the competition again was limited to say the least
, when players wore hobnailed boots and they were back to work monday morning, the game was totally different then . sunderland , blackburn , newcastle and wolves all fall into that category. sunderland aint won a league title since 1936 but had won five previously
newcastle aint won a trophy since 1969 . blackburns last league title was bought by jack walker in 94 prior to that it was before world war 1 .
