It depends what criteria you're comparing. If it's trophies, history, global fan base etc. then we are very much in the second tier of European clubs (behind Man U, Liverpool, and I hate to say it Chelsea, but they've now had 20 years of success, Real Madrid, Barcelona, AC Milan, Inter, Bayern. If it is revenue, infrastructure, current playing squad and manager then we are very much at the top table, and only behind the financially doped clubs (Man C and PSG).In terms of a European order looking at a whole current state of clubs the only clubs I obviously see being above us are Barcelona ( although that’s a house of cards) Real PSG Bayern City Liverpool. Then it starts becoming a bit of debate. On a lot of criteria we are ahead of Juve but obviously they still have massive pull. I guess you’d still overall have to put United and Chelsea ahead of us. After that I really don’t see anyone obviously being ahead of us. So that pretty much leaves us 8th.
