Troll Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 As if this is a victory for 'us' against Sky the Prem and the 'big clubs', Sky have been gagging for this since about Christmas and the Prem refs have given em everything. Aye, they are happy they have won it as one fluke season will be enough for them to say that anyone can win and have an equal chance. Next season referee's will be even more biased for the big clubs to ensure it never happens again. If anything Sky is precisely the reason this is possible. Now that every Prem club has spending power that outstrips 99% of clubs on the continent, anyone can build a decent squad/hire a good manager by spending through the roof. Once you do that and everything breaks right for you like it did for Leicester, you're in business. Obviously Man Utd/Chelsea/Man City will still have a slight built-in advantage but it isn't insurmountable like it was just 5~6 years ago. This is bad news for the Spurs and Newcastles of the world who have/had fanbases and financial means that far outstripped those of other second-tier clubs, but it's great for everyone else and the watchability of the Premier League in general. Who knew that Sky money would end up being the great equalizer? Have Leicester really spent that much though? That's the point. Their best players have been Vardy and Mahrez. Yeah Leicester are kind of a bad example because they've been so unbelievably lucky with those two, but nevertheless they've surrounded those players with a squad that was built around a 25m+ net spend in each of the past two seasons. That wouldn't have been possible for most recently promoted clubs in the past, nor would it have been possible for them to attract a manager of Ranieri's caliber. Never won a title before and just been sacked from Greece. Pretty much everyone thought he was an awful, uninspired choice at the time, not some major coup. Reckon I definitely said his appointment confirmed their relegation. Close. Found the thread when he got appointed - the reaction is amazing with hindsight. http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,94573.4700.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 It's not even as though they tip-toed over the line, they've bossed it for the last 2-3 months. The closest they came to a wobble was drawing with two teams in the top 6, one with 10 men and the other away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Claudio Ranieri appointed Leicester Boss, interesting to see how he does there, Certainly an improvement on Pearson We both know he'll finish lower in the table than Pearson, though.

To be honest he won't be much of a miss for Chelsea. I would expect a Chelsea side without Costa to beat Sunderland. Chelsea's best players are in midfield, every single one of their midfielders are capable of getting a goal at anytime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
