In reply to: Is there any remotely close comparison to what Leicester  posted by miamioh_irishfan


Hell, one of the best managers in the world was fired because they were facing relegation. Leicester were certainly overachievers in 2015, bolstered with a lot of confidence because the top 6 were not particularly good. Chelsea on the other hand was on the verge of collapse (and relegation) with a roster full of world class players. In some ways the opposite of Leicester. In other ways it reflects the same volatility.

As for the most direct comparison to Leicester, certainly the most recent would be Blackburn in the early 90's. Bottom dwellers from 2nd division to champions in the premier league within a couple years. Relegated a couple years later.
