Which is the biggest club in Britain?

Which football team in Britain has the most players in the world?

The one with the most medals, perhaps? The one with the most money and the most popular social media page? Which position in the average league, the largest stadium, or the best? Or perhaps all of those things make up the happy medium.

It’s a debate nobody can win, one we all have a different perspective on, and one that will offend everyone regardless of how convincing their argument may be.

About 250 of BBC Sport’s staff members in the UK recently posed the unanswerable question in order to bring the most urgent of serious subjects to life.

There were numerous arguments. Additionally, there are many unhappy people.

However, we ended up with the lists on average and placed them in the top ten below.

Is in agreement with it? You don’t, of course.

Clubs are regarded as big if they win in the past.

Glasgow giants Celtic and Rangers are the ones who have won more silverware than any other team in the English game when it comes to major trophies.

Manchester United is a close second and Liverpool are the most prosperous club in England, and the Reds look set to win the record 20 top flight titles this season.

Arsenal leads the FA Cup standings, while they also have the most European titles in the country.

Manchester City has recently risen in the rankings, claiming six of their past seven Premier League titles and a historic Treble in 2022-23.

Some of the more conventional people may dismiss social media followings as a marketing gimmick.

However, it does provide a good sense of how popular clubs are both locally and globally, as well as their ability to draw in fans.

Manchester United has the most popular social media accounts across all four major platforms, while other teams perform better on individual platforms.

Tottenham are sixth overall, but have the best Tik Tok following of any club, despite having a lower combined social following than their city rivals, while Manchester City perform better overall.

Is money really all that important? Manchester City is the clear choice if you believe it to be true.

City made the most money in 2023-24 of any English club, surpassing Real Madrid by £708 million, according to a study from Deloitte’s Money League.

Manchester United is the best team in the world if big club means big stadium to you.

Old Trafford is the biggest club stadium in the world, with 90, 000 seats at the moment, and United has also announced plans to construct a new, $ 2 billion, 100, 000-seater stadium close to Wembley.

When Manchester City start operating next season with a capacity of 52, 888, Bramley Moore Dock Stadium’s new stadium, which will increase its capacity to 61, 474, will be ranked seventh in the top ten.

Consistent play is essential in football.

And Manchester City has been exactly that for the past ten years. Their average league position is impressive at 1.7, with the six titles they have won, including a record four in a row.

There is hardly anything in the chase pack that leaves Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham, and Chelsea in their respective average finishing positions.

Everton, Crystal Palace, and West Ham have all consistently finished mid-table over the years.

Many people might be surprised to see Leicester City in the top 10 after a year in the Championship. They are also credited with their incredible 2015-16 title victory.

Because Celtic and Rangers do not compete in the Premier League, they are not included in the above table, but Celtic have won nine of their past ten championship seasons.

Use the ranked list below to make your voice known.

Every club that appeared in any of the top ten lists above has been listed, and you must now decide how to arrange them, starting with the ones you believe to be the biggest.
