Will a club outside the big 4 ever win the title again?

Will they, or will Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Man Utd dominate things for decades to come?

Martynt74 · 13 Feb 2007 at 19:07

I'm sure they will especially if someone injects enough cash. Just look at Chelsea, they were rarely in the top 3 before but look at them now

Reading will get exponentially better every season until the whole world implodes because of how good they are.

I'd say yes, but I expect it will take some financial revolutions to bring it about (the Premiership collapsing under its own huge weight probably).

West Ham will win it this year.

I remember confidently telling everyone that would listen West Ham would easily make Europe this season. Oops.

Portsmouth have a good chance, big money backer and not doing too shabby even now.

Winning the title though? It's a big step.

Lol, painful mistake. I'm not a West Ham supporter, in fact quite the opposite end of the table, but I think it's a real shame to loose such a club to relegation.

Probably sounds a bit biased, but villa? Great manager, decent enough players, tons of financial backing, great history.. Can it be rekindled?

Same, I think they're an all round decent club and I was delighted when they got promoted again, apart from that **** Reo Coker.

No

Why not?

My mind wouldn't be able to comprihend it, and the whole world may just implode.

But seriously, It's possible, as is anything but I think if it does happen it will be in a very long time. Winning the premiership isn't just about having a decent manager, decent players and a sound financial backing, it's about knowing how to go the distance, believing you can win, and wanting it more than anyone else.

Chelsea are a little odd here, becuase really they did buy the title, but they were a decent team before and could cause many top teams problems.

I can't see another club winning the title in the next few years, without a Chelski type backer.

So do Middleborough at the moment but winning the league, that'd be pretty laughable

Tottenham hotspur.......

if only they were a bunch of useless **** :mad:

Newcastle will - when we have a full, non injured squad that is.

Personally, I don't think they will for quite a while. If it was down to the passion of support then i think they would and some of the current top 3/4 would be near the bottom, tbh.

How do you measure passion?
