The season before they won the title The Foxes had 19 points with 9 games remaing. They took 22 points from a possible 27 to escape sure relegation . They turned it on and won the Premier League Title by 10 points the next season . Your Mourinhos , Wengers and Fergusons all have one thing in common this past quarter century's when they'd won their titles . They never won a title without paying either 1st , 2nd or 3rd highest wages out of 20 teams . Highest wages winning it most , 2nd highest wages winning in less and 3rd highest wages winning less again . Blackburn payed the 4th highest wage , a one off to win the title , till Leicester came along with the 7th LOWEST wage ... 13 other teams were paying higher wages than Leicester, , The Leicester escape of relegation and title win was , to me , like the Bob Beeman long jump of football . David slayed a whole gang of Goliaths .
