Leicester aren't going to win the EPL just because they changed tactics from last year. They've been systematically improving the club from top to bottom to compete at the top level. They brought in better youth coaches and were promoted to the Barclays U21 league Division 1. They brought in new scouts a couple of years ago to improve their network, they've been spending money on the stadium to boost attendances, they have one of the best pitches in the EPL nowadays. They are a very well run club... Their chairman knows exactly how to run a successful football club and now they are showing it on the pitch.
Yes, Ranieri had to come in an change the tactics and the players had to perform amazingly but it helps when you have a steady and successful business to work for.
As for the Gypos, they have proven time and again that they can out perform us when it comes to running a viable business with 1/4 of our supporters and resources. Their Youth academy is doing well and they seem to lose less money than us.
Just let that sink in... That's how bad the numpties we've had in charge really are. We have 11,000 members and could easily pull 15,000 fans to games with a good owner. I don't give a shit about 1 year of finals football or 2. I want an owner to come in and set us up to be successful across the park. Spend some money to attract fans/sponsors/sauce bottles and make us a decent club, then it won't be a matter of making the finals, it'll be a matter of making the ACL finals.
