It's great for English football and a poke in the eye to the likes of Man U, Man C, Chelsea etc. Whilst what Leicester have done against all the odds is amazing, I still think Cloughie taking Forest from Division 2 and winning the 1st Division the next season is a greater achievement. Especially if you add on the LC win followed by 2 x European Cups
...fair enough but I don't think you have factored in the disparity in finances ... Cloughie wasn't competing with clubs that had spent more in the last 2 seasons than his club had in their entire history ... (Man Utd) ...
Both amazing achievements in their own right.. For me Leicesters achievement is by far the standout one, with the millions and size of clubs around...It's what dreams are made of....Well done to them. Ha ha, what it's done is thrown a spanner into the works of all the pundits and experts that say you must throw money at the clubs if you need to achieve anything........Leicester have proved, THAT'S NOT THE CASE! It's also good because because none of the players seem above each other.... proper team!
It is a fantastic achievement which deserves the highest plaudits. I also very much liked one pundits comment on 5Live when asked what this meant for the so called "big boys" when (I think it was Chris Waddle) said, "it means that they have run out of excuses". Very true... I was lucky enough to be around when Cloughie's side did the impossible, I hope that Leicester can emulate that...
