Nottigham Forest used to be a big team in their time . Even Leeds were considered a big club at some stage . But both have lost that status because of too many defeats which impacted on good players leaving , money lost , less interest from the media , fan base narrowing ..etc..
As many teams are tremendously improving and we are stagnating around fourth spot as our biggest achievement at the moment we could run the risk of losing the " big team trophy " one day .
