It’s the age-old pub debate that will never definitively be answered – which is the biggest football club in Britain?Well, talkSPORT’s Max Scott has attempted to do just that with his ranking that sees two of the Premier League‘s ‘Big Six’ excluded.Chelsea and Tottenham have both been told that they’re not in Britain’s top 10GettyThe co-host of the new No BS Podcast joined Alan Brazil and Gabby Agbonlahor on Breakfast to rank his top 10 British football clubs.talkSPORT reporter Scott has prioritised European pedigree as well as overall trophy success and size of the fan base in deciding his list.So without further ado, here is his ranking of the biggest football clubs in Britain…=1. Man United and LiverpoolScott started by explaining: “Manchester United and Liverpool are clearly the biggest clubs, like it’s as simple as that!”“20 league titles, multiple European Cups, particularly Liverpool.”The two clubs are the most successful in terms of trophies in England, with Liverpool two ahead of Man United with a haul of 70.The Red Devils have broken the British transfer record a whopping six times, compared to the Merseysiders’ three, while their Old Trafford stadium is the biggest club venue in the UK.Liverpool and Manchester United often battle it out in debates of the biggest club in BritainGetty3. CelticMax Scott verdict: “Celtic are number three for me, 56 league titles.“Absolutely massive fan base, the most passionate I think you could argue, and they’ve obviously won a European Cup.”The Scottish giants are the most successful club in total trophies, having amassed an epic 122 pieces of silverware in their history.Celtic also hold the feat of being the first British side to become European Cup winners in 1967; however, the lack of funds north of the border has seen their influence on the continent diminish since.Celtic won the league for a fifth year in a row last seasonGetty4. ArsenalIt’s been a while since the reigning Premier League champions have found themselves in fourth – which for years was a stick to beat the club with under Arsene Wenger.However, Wenger’s feats in the early years of his tenure remain etched in British football folklore, and are enough to put the Gunners high up on this list despite a lack of a major European Cup win.“I know it’s a good point,” Scott said to Agbonlahor on failing to lift the Champions League. “But they’ve got a massive fan base.“You’ve got to talk about stories like the story of Arsene Wenger’s Invincibles is absolutely massive, and the fan base is huge.”Arsenal ended a 22-year wait to win the Premier League titleGetty5. Nottingham ForestForest fan Scott said: “Brian Clough is arguably the greatest manager of all time alongside Alex Ferguson.“People that are listening that are under the age of 30 might think that that’s absolutely mad. But he’s widely known to be the best manager England never had. “That story of ‘Clough’s Miracle Men’ is the greatest story in domestic football history all over the world.“They’ve won back-to-back European Cups. So Forest at fifth for me.” With Brian Clough in charge, Forest won the League title and League Cup in 1977/78, and the European Cup and League Cup in 1978/79. They won the European Cup again in 1980, but lost the League Cup final that yearGetty6. Aston VillaMax Scott’s verdict: “Huge fan base, seven league titles, seven FA Cups and a Champions League.“I think people who live outside the London bubble and have actually been to Villa Park know how big a fan base it is.”The future King of England, Prince William, can count himself among those supporters of a club who are founding members of both the Football League (1888) and the Premier League.Villa have also provided 79 England internationals to the men’s team – placing them only behind Tottenham – who are not on Scott’s list.Villa won the Europa League to book their place in the Super Cup this yearGetty7. EvertonScott avoided a call from former boxing world champion and Blues fan Tony Bellew by including his beloved Toffees in this list.The nine-time champions of England have been a top-flight club in each and every season since 1954.The Toffees were also part of Greg Dyke’s ‘Big Five’ when he set out to form the breakaway Premier League alongside Arsenal, Liverpool, Man United and Tottenham.Yet their last major honour was the 1995 FA Cup – Everton fans will hope better times await in their new Hill Dickinson Stadium.The 57,000-plus fans make their voices heardGetty8. NewcastleThe Magpies’ triumph in the 2024/25 Carabao Cup ended the club’s long domestic trophy drought that stretched back to 1955.Before then, six FA Cups, preceded by four top-division titles, had established the Toon Army as one of football’s powerhouses.Newcastle almost established itself as the face of the Premier League during the late 1990s, but Kevin Keegan’s side ultimately finished second twice in 1996 and 1997.The 52,000-capacity St James’ Park remains one of the country’s most hallowed venues, and they still boast the Premier League’s all-time record goalscorer in club icon Alan Shearer.Shearer is the Premier League’s top-scoring player of all timeGetty9. RangersThe Gers are just one league title behind their Scottish rivals Celtic, but crucially lack their European pedigree, having never won the Champions League.Rangers still boast significantly more silverware than any side in the English game, having accumulated 119 trophies in their history.Ibrox is still in the top 10 biggest stadiums in British football, while they reached the Europa League final as recently as 2022.Gerrard won the Scottish Premiership for Rangers in 2021 – ending Celtic’s nine straight titlesGetty10. Man CityThe most subjective of all the clubs. In recent times, the Cityzens are England’s most successful club of the past decade.Pep Guardiola helped City win a whopping 20 honours between 2016 and 2026, and their eight Premier League titles have all come post-Abu Dhabi takeover.However, an asterisk to their success is undoubtedly their alleged Financial Fair Play (FFP) breaches, with a hearing into the club’s 130 charges concluded in December 2024.City, who were first charged with 115 breaches of the Premier League’s FFP rules in February 2023, were relegated to the third tier of English football as recently as 1998.Why are Chelsea not included?“Chelsea are just outside it,” Scott explained.“But when you look at the recent revelations that came out, which essentially prove that Chelsea cheated their way to become one of the biggest clubs in recent decades, I think you’ve got to look at that and say, this is why Gabs is so frustrated.“This is why Olly Clink, my co-host and Newcastle fan, is so frustrated because if they were taken over 20 years ago, they would be Champions League-winning, back-to-back-to-back title-winning because they have the money to buy players, but they’re not allowed to do it!”Ben Foster's top 10 biggest clubsFormer Premier League star Ben Foster also had his say on the topic on talkSPORTMan UnitedLiverpoolArsenalMan CityChelseaAston VillaRangersCeltic9/10 Probably Newcastle and Spurs in either order
