I would put Middlesbrough in the same bracket as Leicester/Southampton/BlackburnWhich club would you compare Boro to?
I am remember on talk sport when Aitor picked Boro over Palace a vote went out and we were deemed to be bigger club than Palace.
I would say we are very similar to Stoke City or Blackburn Rovers.
For me: Stoke, QPR, Southampton, Norwich, Cardiff, Swansea, Charlton, Birmingham.
I’d say Stoke are the closest. Southampton is posh.
Norwich is a decent comparison, so is Cardiff and Swansea but don’t like to associate us with the Welsh.
If I had to pick just 1 it would definetly be Stoke
Yes2016 PL winners Leicester?
FfsCharlton
Yes one against usNot for me. They’ve also won two league cups in the time Gibson has been our chairman.
You don’t know much about charlton then or leicester come to that.
btw Swansea were in div 4 not so long ago.

Not at all but you are comparing us to a side more akin to being in div 3 how is that a fair comparison and one that was in the 4th tier.
as I say our history and Leicester’s has been similar before the Thais arrived.
