^ comments from Todd Boehly at the Financial Times business of football thing.
Honestly, I get that he is a businessman but as a sports fan and a purist who sees sport as primarily cultural and communal thing - I really hate how people like him talk about sport.
To them its just a commodity, a product, something with value that they can sell to make themselves ever richer. They have no appreciation of tradition or history and just turn it all into a soulless cash grab.

Really didn’t like welbeck when he played for United back in the day but he has got better and better with age. Quality finish to send Brighton past Newcastle.

I always thought Welbeck was similar to Alvaro Morato in that he had all of the attributes to be a great striker, size with pace and could be brilliant at times but lacked that certain something to be great. Pretty sure if he was in this current United team he would look terrible whereas at Brighton he always has players to combine with.

There’s at least one Fulham fan, no?

I’ll throw in Man City as a guess for one.

Nope - never made it down as low as the 4th tier.

Wolves have to be one and Im gonna take a stab at Preston North End & Portsmouth.

Wolves are certainly as they won back to back promotions in the late 80s and the league at least once in the 50s.
They must have won the 2nd division at some point.
-
Notts county might be another one.

That is 3 of the 5 - well done. None of the other suggestions are correct. Notts County have never won the 1st division. Leicester have never dropped to the 4th and nor have Forest.

Ok, thanks.
Blackpool must be a good shout?

Just checked - they have never won the 1st division strangely enough. One of 8 teams to finish 2nd without getting a title - others are Bristol City, Oldham, Cardiff, Charlton, QPR, Watford, Southampton.

Thanks.
This is a great quiz question btw, I've just sent it to my dad.
I'm genuinely stumped on the last two.

What about Leeds?
No - another team not to drop to the 4th division. You have to think of clubs that have had a really shit time over the years, not just shit enough to fall down to the 3rd (a few "big" teams have done that over the years)
