I did hope more people would reply with their own views on what a football club should represent, if they actually have any, but as with here it was mostly just an excuse for people to dunk on drab English towns, and Tottenham.
To answer the question you posed:
There aren't really any pointless clubs as they'll all mean something to someone, but I suppose the most pointless a club can get is competing at a national level, while doing basically nothing (of note) except representing a slightly more local area than another club from the same town/city. At least in the regional leagues the more local aspect makes a bit of sense.
As a (perhaps poor) example, what exactly is the point of Bristol having both Rovers and City? Neither have won anything of any note, their stadiums are about fifteen minutes away from each other, and they barely even get a derby these days because they haven't been in the same division for over two decades (in fact, the last derby was a decade ago).
However, I can concede there that the logic could quite quickly descend into just having teams representing increasingly large areas to maximise their chance of winning something (if only by having less competition).
Outside of that, MK Dons, because why the feck would anyone support them?
