20 years ago where would you have considered Chelsea?
Bigger than Tottenham, then and now. In 1998 alone Chelsea won as many trophies as Tottenham have from the 80s to current day, were MUCH bigger than Tottenham commercially at the time (3rd highest income in England that season), and comparatively to their times, still bigger than the Tottenham of today, had bigger attendances than Tottenham that season, and in the next year would come closer to winning the Premier League than Tottenham ever have and the year after that get as far in the Champions League as Tottenham ever have.
Any version of your beloved "history" that has Chelsea below Tottenham in the pecking order of English football until Abamovich came in is mental. CURRENT Tottenham isn't ahead of that Chelsea in a lot of tangible ways, let alone peak "lads, it's Tottenham" era Spurs, ffs!
