Who said we were paupers? Certainly not any of us ... but the Big 6 do spend shedloads more than we ever could and yet, here we are again, gatecrashing the party. <cheers>

As you proved a few years ago, what you spend doesn’t guarantee anything. You are where you are on merit and able to, if you so wish, compete financially with the big boys.
 
Being a Leicester supporter comes with a long standing negativity ingrained mate, never feels far from a **** up and when things go well it seems too good to be true!
Regarding your below response to Fosse, it’s relative, are we little Leicester in relation to being in the premier league, our course not. Are we punching above our weight in the context of being too 4/5, yes of course we are by any measure surely!

I’m guessing there’s probably a dozen or more teams in the PL and all of the teams in the other leagues who would like to be in your position financially. Why you guys keep trying to downplay it is beyond me.

We can't pay 60, 70, 80 or 90 million for a single player ... we can pay pretty good salaries ... that's true.
 
We seem too scared to make any kind of challenge in the box, unsurprising really as refs are always waiting to give them a pen.
 
Ben Davies apparently on the way.

That'll fukin do.

3-1

And that too.

Yeah we’re in an excellent position of course, you made my point there though about a dozen potentially in this league. We can agree that at a minimum the sky 6 are on another level to everyone else so consistently being above at least 2 of them in recent times is great. Where we rank against the next level of sides down is debatable.
Personally, I find it easier with us being the underdog, I don’t like us being bigged up. Personal feeling I guess :emoticon-0148-yes: by the natural order of things I’d say we would be top half but not as high up as we are as we are over performing.

... we are not downplaying anything ... simply telling it as it is. Those around us in the table have spent vastly more than we could ... therefore, that we can continue to compete, us bloody brilliant <cheers>
