Liverpool do still have a sizeable fan base at a guess I would imagine it would compare favourably to Celtic's...

I guess the biggest club in the world would probably be from Henrik's list... we could probably take Liverpool and Benfica out of there straight away, great clubs no doubt but not the biggest. With the state of Italian football (stands and on the pitch) I think Juventus would probably be 5 of those left..

Then you can probably make a decent argument for ordering the rest in a few different ways, I think those 4 are difficult to separate..

Clubs like Inter, AC, Ajax Arsenal probably make up the rest of the top 10.

I can't tell if your arguing for them to be higher or lower...

The 'biggest' test is simple...

Wherever you are in the world, market stalls punt fake strips...Who dominate the fake market

Barca
Real
And to a slightly lesser degree Man Utd and Chelsea.

Juve, Bayern, etc etc are huge in their domestic market but minnows in comparison.

I would say it would vary where you go around the world, certain clubs have hotspots in different places..

I was basing it on everything though, past success, present success, attendances, revenue, worldwide fanbase ect.

Fair enough.

I was more basing it on current popularity.

For Celtic to win the EC in the present financial climate, would surpass all wins of the 'Daddy' beforehand

Probably about right then, though it does make me wonder about the foreign rights section of the PL deal, which is far larger than La Liga's... I guess it must be due to a few English clubs having prominent fan bases abroad rather than just the big two.

It would put you a par with Notts Forest that's for sure

It's Nottingham Forest; and we won it back-to-back, so Celtic are forever in our shadow.
