Historically big clubs

[Dembe]

Blackpool , Preston , Bolton were big clubs

But not anymore

But Sunderland , Wolves and Wednesday were .......and still are ......if that makes sense ?

Brighton are doing well and it's great for football but Wednesday , Sunderland are huge clubs by comparison

Makes sense.

How long does a clubs history count in their favour though? because a lot of these clubs are clinging onto their status with their attendances and doing **** all else.
