List from the international federation of football history and statistics.
Interesting list, and they have tons of other stats.
Worth a look, cant say i agree with all of it and i don't really get what its based on.
2 Chilean clubs in the top 10 and TFC ranked 232...

Reading their formulas its seems a bit unwieldy and at times a degree of subjectiveness in the weighting of awarding regional points... Makes FIFAs ranking seem somewhat acceptable...

I assume they started tallying in 2009 or so? :lol:

It was good for a laugh, I suppose. Of the 129 clubs above Liverpool, I see about 15 we wouldn't automatically walk right through without even flinching.

Before anyone wastes a lot of time looking at this list, just take note of the side they've got sitting in 18th and note Fulham a few spots above Spurs. :lol:

I agree. Stoke should be in the top 5 minimum. List has no credibility.

Ridiculous list. Not even worth reading after I saw Stoke FC near the top lol.

Formulas dont work for this type of stuff.

Inverness Caledonian Thistle above Feyenoord and TFC above Hearts, Werder Bremen, Everton et all ... that'll do for me :lol: but what? ... ICT below Real Esteli? and TFC below Reykjavik, Shamrock Rovers and Sunshine Stars of Nigeria? nahh, I call bullshit and bollocks to this list !
