Reading about the Sterling contract situation, Liverpool are now a direct rival to us. They can't keep their best players, unlikely to qualify for the champions league year in, year out.

I really think, that once we move into our shiny new stadium, we will be a more attractive club to any player. 60,000 seater, purpose built stadium in London. With state of the art training facilities, and the biggest footballing city on the planet behind us.:cool::cool::cool:

I do think it is inevitable, but the situation with Sterling doesn't suggest anything in relation to us, and I think it'll still be at least a decade or two before up and coming players will view us as an equal or bigger club (what ultimately matters, as pundit opinions matter fuck all if better players are still choosing Liverpool over us).

I'm not sure if it's actually a fact. I know you used the word 'fact' in the title, but I have some concerns that this wouldn't hold up to scientific scrutiny.

The bindippers will have got used to their new Afield before we move into our shiny new stadium, so will be, in effect, further ahead financially before we catch up, if we ever catch up!! So, in conclusion, the title of this thread isn't really correct.

bigger in terms of what? youre right we are seemingly direct competitors, at a similar level on the field. with sturridge i think they would have left us behind and been close to fourth though.
unless youre lawro, in which case you think they are 20 points better than us...

Exactly right; i'll reserve judgement until I've fully scrutinised your working.

Also...Club X is bigger than Club Y = most pointlessly subjective argument in the history of football.

We won't be bigger than them until we've won 20 titles and 5 European cups.

By those standards all of the following clubs should be considered bigger than us on top flight titles;

Utd, Liverpool, Arse, Everton, Villa, Sunderland, Chelsea, Man City, Newcastle, Sheffield Wed, Leeds, Wolves,
Huddersfield, Blackburn, Preston North End
