That argument doesn't hold up as
- it's not true (Liverpool & Utd have literally millions of fans all over the world)
- massive fanbase doesn't necessarily equal massive success on the field (or this season Newcastle would have been fighting it out for a Champions league place, rather than being busy getting relegated)
