608th. What the hell is it based on?

Load of shite whatever it is anyway.
We're 615th - just below you and above the likes of Carlisle, Tranmere and Forrest Gump and 9 other L2 teams... no idea how they worked this out though....

Sorry to try and provide a modicum of common sense here but at the top of the table there is a link that says ‘how this works’

That might not be as fun as having reams of Port Vale fans posting furiously as to why they have slipped 7 places on this random table so sorry about that.

Caveat - having read about how it works I’m none the wiser!!

Literally just tapped club rankings into Google, I've no idea the legitimacy of it or how its calculated. Just thought it was amusing how low Bolton are given Masi seems to think they're a top 10 European club still (or ever)

Or how history has any relevance over current league positions.

They do have a superb shopping centre I believe. World renowned.

In fairness, the first thing I noticed was Man City being above Liverpool and I didn't take it seriously after that.

Which shows how much you should ignore it.
Yeah maybe, but I think a lot of people would agree Man City are better than Liverpool - Squad wise..

You can see how the SPI is generated here, it is quite a respected formula.

It is worth noting "It is designed to project which teams will have the most success going forward, not rate the success of teams in the past "

Don't know why Vale would moan, if you would have told them a year ago they'd they be all the way up in 608th challenging the likes of Las Vegas Lights and Baroka, and above footballing heavyweights like Takoma Defiance, CS Switchbacks and Crawley Town they'd have struggled to believe it.

No wonder they're all so upbeat.

I can’t accept that we are worse than those ballsacks at Hartford Athletic!

They were only founded two years ago as well. Already above you AND coached by ex Premier League superstar Rahdi Jaidi. That lot are going places (but not the MLS).

That's just about the only thing anyone can give him any credit for.

Mate your club isn't going to last for much long so stop all this delusion it's getting old.

You're in a relegation fight so try be more humble.
