    Here are my soccer rankings updated from last year. The only changes from last year are that United have cut Liverpool's lead from 28 points to 7 and Fulham have moved up 4 places to 45th.
    Here is the table.

    Looks fairly self explanatory to me. He has awarded points for certain competitive achievements over a club's history in a weighted fashion, then reached an end total. Using his formula, you can rank the clubs in order of most successful.

    Whether this is a valuable way to compare clubs or not is obviously something that can be debated.

    How far back do these data go?

    Is a system helpful if it places, say, Leeds and Sheffield Wednesday above Manchester City?

    Or Rochdale above Wigan?

    I don't think the question of helpfulness comes into it tbh. It is surely interesting (and no more or less than that) to put a club like Man City into perspective. They are on the cusp of huge success, but have a distinct paucity of tradition when it comes to winning trophies relative to their current ambitions. A club's positioning in the football pyramid is impermanent and constantly evolving. People need to be reminded of that now more than ever imo...
