Soccer's future power rankings: Which teams are tipped to dominate beyond 2025?

Right now, it's clear which teams are owning the present tense (hello, Liverpool), but which teams are set to dominate in the next 3 to 5 years? Let's crunch the numbers and figure it out.

No matter how well we do, it still feels surreal for our name to be amongst footballing powerhouses

Spuds must ultimately be an assumption based on stadium/income. Lots of transfer duds, no sign of a conveyor belt of young stars.

Where are Leeds, CP and Sheffield Wednesday?

The fantastic thing about this top 6 is that there’ll be frequent inter-loppers upsetting the money league.

"We know the ceiling will forever be higher for the Manchester Uniteds of the world, but no club has raised its own ceiling more than Brighton over the past decade."

42nd best in the Well Run Club rankings - clearly Author loves bottle tops and or has tried to get a train after an evening match.

Surely Gus said we’d reached our ceiling ten years ago?!

Yeah - and in fairness we had at that point.
It took Tony another couple of seasons before he accepted that you had to throw serious money at it, to get to the Premier League.

Worse than Manchester United and Tottenham in three years?

Lots of dystopianism going round these days.
