As part of sportingintelligence’s preview coverage for the 2011-12 Premier League season, we have assessed each of the 20 clubs’ historical record in English football, season by season since the Second World War.
An overview is published elsewhere on the site.
Here are the era by era tables, including only those 20 clubs who will make up the 2011-12 season. (So this does not include a few clubs, like Leeds, who could be among the top dozen overall if their long-ago successes were counted).
