No delusion here, when did we become a big club?
The instant we entered Division 1?
When we won the FA Cup?
Or was it the constant victory of surviving the threat of relegation year after year in the top division?
We have never been a big club, we were a medium mediocre at best club for quite a long time, a club that managed 3 promotions in four years (or whatever it was) to get us into the top flight and very lucky to stay there for as long as we did, does that make us a big club? Maybe one day we will be but probably not in most of our lifetimes, big clubs have real histories, a long list of achievements to go with it but even then there is no entitlement!
Are we entitled, are we hellaslike, big club, yeah right!
