Would have been somewhere between mildly interesting and depressingly cringe-worthy to have heard this, especially from the national (notional) broadcaster. What type of factors were being suggested?
This type of thing is beyond parody: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/4...ng-an-epl-team
Apparently, and there's no irony here, factors to consider include: the "redeeming quality" of possessing "a wild history of hooliganism", "fly" nicknames such as the Latics, "pretty cool" place-names such as Wolverhampton and staying clear of clubs with "big time bandwagons and a lot of pseudo fans". The complete lack of self-awareness in the last point is startling.
