Very true
I could accept that they’ve overtaken us if they’d had some sustained success or an extended period in the top flight. Clubs of a similar size or smaller have done this in the last 25 years (Birmingham, Swansea, Stoke, Palace, West Brom, Hull, Boro, Burnley etc)
The reality is that they’ve done par for the Sheffield United course over the past 25 years, which is being a competitive championship side with the odd top flight appearance which inevitably always ends in tears
