and when you think of all these super rich clubs in the Premier League it's even more impressive...

From their website:

Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha
Real Time Net Worth As of 4/26/16 - $2.9 Billion


Leicester City isn't owned by a Russian billionaire, it's owned by a Thai billionaire.

Sorry, I must have missed something here.

You seem to be confusing the owner with the club, or to be more exact the owner's wealth with the club's budget. But to make you happy I'll change rich clubs with expensive teams.

Is there a club in the Premier League owned by some some poor guy anyway?

Probably worth posting here:

Ninety-six football fans who died as a result of a crush in the 1989 Hillsborough disaster were unlawfully killed, the inquests have concluded. The jury found match commander Ch Supt David Duckenfield was "responsible for manslaughter by gross negligence" due to a breach of his duty of care. Police errors also added to a dangerous situation at the FA Cup semi-final.
The prime minister said the inquests had provided "official confirmation" fans were "utterly blameless". After a 27-year campaign by victims' families, the behaviour of Liverpool fans was exonerated.

I suppose that's one step towards justice.

What a great news, congrats to Leicester and to Sir Claudio Ranieri !

Fantastic stuff, I just wish they had won it on the ground, rather than in front of the tv.
Well done ManU, Chelsea and Arsenal

So that's that for Pep and Bayern. You can say that Bayern has been in decline ever since he came ... if you want to be mean . But the truth is Barcelona is doing quite ok without him and Bayern didn't really get better so I won't say he's a bad trainer... but I'll say his not the super trainer many made him up to be.

Totally agree with you Ben. Guardiola wouldn't never have won PL with Leicester...
