Leicester City Football Club

When I was growing up, the club with the best manager and team spirit often won the league. However, since the formation of the Premier League money has become more and more important. The last few seasons, the "top" teams have not been at their best and the opportunity has been there for clubs like Everton and Spurs to win the league. However, the mentality has been lacking. Top 4 has been seen as massive, and as soon as clubs have got near it they've panicked. Ranieri's calm attitude has really helped and Leicester have shown that you can do it, so every club that isn't the modern day Top4 should be grateful.

So now this has actually happened I have to say I agree with @ijjysmith. Them winning it has been very, very entertaining. However, now the dust has settled (for me anyway, I'm not a fan so now it's been confirmed I couldn't care less), all I can think of it how bad this is for Everton.

Leicester take a team of bog standard upper Championship / lower prem players, add a convivial manager, some team spirit and they win the league. How exactly is this bad for Everton? This is great for Everton, as it proves we don't need big money megastars to make it happen. Every club in the prem can now believe they can win the league. Cos I'm telling you, many of the clubs like us, West Ham, Southampton etc have been more than happy to believe 5th was an incredible season. Well, Leicester have just raised that benchmark substantially.

Could you read my post about 2 pages back mate. That tells you why it isn't a good thing for Everton. Well, from my point of view anyway.

I think they actually could though, they have LC, UCL, FA Cup and the League to contend with. There is absolutely no guarantee that they will not suffer an injuries as well.

I reckon they'll spend big this summer, and won't really try in the cups so i think will have a quiet, normal season.

My prediction:
5-8th league position
out of the both cups at first hurdle
3rd place in they cl group and out of europa by quarters

Agree on all that but I don't think they'll spend big. It's about maintaining the team spirit they have right now, 3 or 4 additions in the same vein as recent signings and they'll be fine. Can't see them spunking 30m on a Martial or Hazard type player.
