Shrimpers are Magic
President
I for one now hope they go down - he was the only reason I was happy they won the title.
nasty little club with horrible b****** fans.

Correct call. They looked hopeless and they were going down.
It's a results business and no one is bigger then a club.
Such a shame for him, one of the very few likeable managers at the top level.
Indeed it is.
Winning the Premier League and being in an advantageous position going into the 2nd leg of a Champions League last 16 tie, whilst spending a minimal amount of money in comparison to other clubs.
Pretty good results, if it was my business.
I think you're playing up the underdog angle a bit too much there. Leicester spent £69 million on transfers this year (admittedly £30 million of that was financed by the Kante sale), it's not a lot compared to the champions league clubs but it's a lot more than most premier league managers have spent, not to mention the wages players like Vardy are on are much higher than most teams could afford. Yes winning the league was a miracle but that was last year, this year given the amount of money they've spent it's a disaster that Leicester are in a relegation battle, and I imagine they will have serious financial difficulties if they went down with the wage budget they have.
I was thinking more of last year, when they spent around £20 million assembling a squad which won the Premier League.
I doubt any of the money spent at the start of this season, wasn't already in the club's coffers or was out of a planned budget for getting into the Champions League, so money that Ranieri's management has effectively won for them with the help of the same players who have let him down this season.
