Great achievement - I'm really pleased for Leicester & football fans of "lesser" clubs everywhere.

And to think that only just over a year ago fans were being negative & moaning that they wanted the manager and owners out!! Sound familiar?

They never wanted their owner out, they recognised a **** manager, wanted him gone, it happened and lo and behold...

Team, team spirit and great manager.

I wish we had that - but did our team spirit depart when we got rid of Macca, Rosie and Quinny?

I think this was a massive team building mistake; add in Boyd and there was far more to these lost players than their individual abilities, Stanley. Far too many folk dismissed their collective loss as a 'get over it' thing, when there was no substitute brought in to counter its effects.

Same from me.

Back in the late fifties when I was studying at Hull Technical College in Park St. there was a Leicester fan in my year.

I had a 5 quid bet with him that Hull City would be the English football champions before Leicester City!
Lost contact with him a few years later but willing to pay my debt with inflation adjustment.

For those that are saying the odds on me having to pay up are astronomically against, bear in mind that I lost contact with another poster on here in 1956 and met up again with him via this forum 56 years later. My wife who was on here at the time read a random post about the time he spent at Riley High where we were classmates for 6 years.

Congratulations Leicester, what an achievement. I can now name names, I was that person. Spent many happy hours subsequently swapping e-mails and poring over school photographs identifying classmates and teachers of the period. In between reminiscing about City games from Raich Carter's time onward of course!

He might be a boring arrogant tosser but he sure knows how to spot talent and assemble a good team.

It was a great achievement as was the Clough/ Taylor achievement before at Derby County where they created a team from "nobodies" and this team went through all the divisions to First Division Champions and then on to Europe
 
Vardy once spent half a season being substituted after an hour at his non‑league club so he could rush home and make the curfew on his electronic tag

<laugh>

I didn't know this detail.
 
I can't stop smiling every time i read something new about Leicester and their win. It's mad as i've always been totally indifferent to Leicester, even when Pearson left us to join them. No feelings either way, but i'm just so happy for all their fans, players, staff and owners. Truly gives hope to every team that nothing is impossible.

Genuinely delighted for their fans, memories that will stay with them forever.

what price back to backs?
 
This surpasses anything before it as the league position in the PL is generally dictated by money spent. This is probably the first and only time in the PL era it hasn't. I can't ever see this happening again.

I can genuinely see this. Fighting Champions League and a League campaign side by side will be incredibly tough.

Plus Ranieri is generally ****e in his second season. Already sounded out my mate who is an area manager at Bill Hill for odds. They're too low so will look elsewhere.

TWS went the entire following season without an away win after being champions.
