Ah, I define it all different, I class United, Chelsea, Arsenal and co as massive teams or mega clubs, anyone else in a good financial situation, European football, decent supporter base and good stadium I'd put down as a big team. Newcastle are neither and by former, I refer to the 90's and early 2000's under my definition.
Now it's a case of having a ridiculous amount of money but an absolute mess of a club on a whole. They're talking about adding 10,000 seats to the stadium and that'll take it up to 62,000 but I just don't get it anymore, that or I just don't see the point anymore.
By your own definition of big team you're right though, I just wasn't clear enough first. Sorry to Liverpool too, I just see what used to be a massive team that's just disappearing pretty quickly
