It was just a useless argument. His point was lets get the the old teams back to the PL that used to be big...Leeds, Notts Forest, Derby, Sheffield Wednesday etc because they would be games the neutral fan would make an effort to go and see, Nothing to do with the quality of football, the teams he was picking on played. And his choices were so random. Why not have Preston North End and Blackpool in his list.
He’s like audio clickbait, still insists Mark Hughes is a good manager, and just stirring up interest in the show. It’s really not worth listening to his opinion on anything, it's never intelligent or informed. Chris Sutton ditto.
