Are Leicester now a bigger club than us??

[Walken]

I was in phuket two months ago, saw no evidence of Leicester making an impact there, just like us despite chang, it's still the same footy shirts, mancs, rs, barca etc

 

[ijjysmith]

Obviously not. Popcorn denied.

How about after they win the Champions League next season?

 

[dandydan]

Does higher short term profile ( assuming they don't win it again) equate to bigger?

 

[toffeejack]

of course, they have more premier league trophies than us

 

[peteblue]

I say this because today while shopping in the metro centre Newcastle I counted 6 kids in Leicester tops and no Everton tops in sight.

Now, before everyone gets angry and start giving me a history lesson I know in my life time I've seen Everton win more trophies than Leicester. But, if you look from the start of the Premiership we have won the FA cup while they have won the league and two league cups.

So they win the recent history and are now in the Champions league, something we haven't achieved in our history.

Turnover wise no doubt with winning the league and being in the Champions league next season they will surpass us in the financial stakes as well.

Fanwise is going to be a tough one but according to my older brother who lives in the far east he has commented on how big Leicester promote themselves ( club shop in Bangkok airport etc ) with them winning the league, they will have a new generation of supporters.

So, are they?

Don't be silly. They are a no mark club who looked up to Nottingham Forest, Derby and even their local Rugby Team Leicester Tigers. They have been brilliant and had a wonderful season due to Ranieri.......they are still a micky mouse club.........

Muzzy Izzet is a Leicester club legend. Digest this and let's move on to some sensible discussion.

They have won 3 trophies since we last won one.

At this moment in time, yes of course they are. Ask again in a cple of years.

 

[efcjames]

Yeah, they've won the Sky Bet League 1 and we haven't

Think you must have bumped into the No: 3 Leicester scout troop, out on their Geordie poontang hunting badge.

No they are the Beverly Hillbillys of 2016

How can you even ask?

 

[Moomin]

Dont be ridiculous
Its about history not about a one off

According to history, Preston North End are bigger than Leicester.

Live for today, and Leicester are bigger than Preston and us unfortunately and the potential to leave us behind.

 

[Darrenc34]

This year yes, but a club without a history except the league this year and a league cup years ago. We've won much more and probably have more money, but don't quote me on that one!!

 

[COYBL25]

Yeah, they've won the Sky Bet League 1 and we haven't

Your missing the point though. At this moment in the eyes of the football world, they are a bigger club than us. They're the league winners and in the Champs League as league winners.

It's about the here and now mate. Sad but true.
