Kopparberg Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I find it amazing how well they’ve done...  Winning the league is amazing enough  Then to be at the level they have been since.  Rodgers, the players, the smart signings, being good to watch.  I’m sure plenty expect them to drop back down to struggling after their unexpected League trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i used to be sc_owl Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Great to see as I have a soft spot for Leicester after living there for a while.  Think they’ve gone about it the right way and haven’t spent stupid money on players just wanting a fat salary. They have, for the most part, got their recruitment bang on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only way is S6 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 As a neutral observer, I generally watch their matches & they're never dull. Â If it's against another fast, skillful team, all the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Bonvin Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I'm hoping they win the FA Cup this season for the first time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Incredibly well run club. Their signings and recruitment put some of the traditional top 6 to shame.  Tielemens, Maddison, Ndidi, Fofana, Soyuncu, Ricardo would all be comfortable in most top Prem sides. Fantastic business. Not to forget Vardy those years back. Pound for pound the best signing in English football ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Django Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Doesn’t seem that long ago that we pretty much sent them down to league 1 a few years back. Since then they haven’t put a foot wrong. Amazingly well run club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not the only club to have taken that route, but there you go. Going back a bit, they went into administration in 2002 after getting relegated from the Premier League. At the time, there was no punishment for doing so, and they got promoted. (To be fair to them, they might well have gone up anyway as they finished 12 points clear of 3rd place.) That same season, another team recently relegated from the Premier League did not go into administration, and got relegated again. I'd still rather have them than any of the 'big' teams win a trophy though. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you can't compare what Wolves and Leicester did with the financial doping practised by Chelsea and Man City, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
