Another who can't read, no one has said it isn't a massive upset

Some have pointed out that Leicester haven't done it on as little money as some make out and that they have had a lot of money invested by a foreign owner

Including £50M for merely being in the Premier League (£80M next season).

I can't see where anyone has said they have done it on little money per se; but compared to the teams that have won the Premier League the money spent is back pocket money.

Squad cost and transfer fees paid are the only relevant issues on judging their success, so I'd rather wait for the Leicester City accounts for 2015/2016 than bother listening to you

Nobody has said they achieved this on no money, just a lot less than the big spenders in the PL (and most others I daresay) and as far as your last 2 points that is as you say "investment", no bad thing I'd say

I wonder if they will sell 5 of their best players for £200 million this summer and if the subsequent accounts will show them losing money.... ^_^

Man U never spent money in the 90s if you believe their fans

The Wizard Alex Ferguson found local Salford lads Rio Ferdinand, Eric Cantona, Roy Keane and Peter Schmeichel kicking a football round Heaton Park and nurtured them into the great players they became

It's all true, it really is

Think Russian / East German athletics or that bloke in the US with his 'legal' performance/recovery enhancers

Not for one minute suggesting this is true by the way, but earlier in the season I read some stuff about Leicester players recovering quicker than normally possible from certain types of injuries and mentions of their new science department


Nah that's rubbish
There'll always be rubbish and accusations made about people or teams who get success. It's the nature of people nowadays sadly.
Doping testing is so poor in football that's true but there's not much out there that will effectively prevent injuries artificially

I bet Arsenal's rehab centre is an old caravan on bricks and they train on the local park that's why they had so many injuries

Perhaps luck had something to do with Leicester's lack of injuries? Just a theory


The bottom's set up is prob the best in the business- one of most respected physio's also.
Problem is- Wenger / coaching staff won't listen to them and rush players back/ have awful pre-season planning....
Has been the case for a few years now.

Presumably they were on £60,000 pa compared to other team's players who were on £300,000 pa?

They all played for the love of the game, and for minimum wage

It's staggering. A couple of mil banked in basic pay and bonuses now on top no doubt. Incredible in your 40s.

Was thinking the same...bar a few names he's on double what 3/4s of the squad are on including the likes of Schmeichel, Morgan, Huth etc!

I know Demari Gray's a young lad, but he's getting seriously mugged off!
