New York footballers almost do a Leicester City on Roscommon
Fri, May 06, 2016
All week long we have heard truly terrific accounts of how Leicester City and Claudio Ranieri shocked the soccer world by winning their first Premiership title. From almost being relegated last season, to beating hands down the enormously high spending teams in the league such as Manchester City, Man United, and Chelsea with a collection of off-cuts and rising talents is a tremendous achievement and once again proves what can be achieved by any group of sports players, in any code, if they really knuckle down, start believing in themselves, and get some fair winds behind them.
The difference in financial muscle between the big few clubs and the usual “Also Rans” can be understood by a statistic that Sporting Intelligence had during the week that calculated that Manchester United have spent more on new players in the two-year reign of their current manager, than Leicester have in their 132-year existence. Indeed the fact that Leicester were still 1,000-1 to win the title three months into the season while they were haring away at the top of the Premiership only proves how slow our perception of things is to change, even when a new reality is dawning in front of our very own eyes.
