    I didn’t say that it did but elite sport is about marginal gains. One such gain is the difference gleaned from training daily at an elite facility rather than running round a park.

    Yes but no professional teams run around a Park, are you 85 years old?

    Because they have all realised the improvement which comes from investing millions in training facilities.

    If you know anything about fitness and wellbeing then you’ll know that the more advanced facility can help but it can’t improve natural ability.

    That’s a given as natural ability is your base level of ability if you didn’t practice at all. My point originally was about you saying that facilities made no difference.

    All good or great players, Ginge, and all had lots of natural ability and all would have been better had modern facilities been around in their day.

    Bollocks, all those players played as they wanted, untrainable in ability but it’s because they all had natural ability and not what a building or staff cannot put inside.

    That was my point; pedigree works when it comes to predicting the competitive ability of horses, but is far less significant when applied to humans.

    Leicester could do with investing in the team rather than using the Mahrez money for a training ground
