Leicester City’s Universal Lesson

5000-1, don’t let those odds scare you.

Today, we stir away from New York City FC and put the spotlight on the Barclays Premier League Champions, Leicester City and their incredible run to glory teaching all of us around the world a lesson.

What’s the lesson? Money does not buy you championships or reflect what your squad is capable of. Just a year ago, this English club was battling to avoid relegation and evidently made the cut to stay in the first division.

After letting go of Nigel Pearson, the board turned to Italian long time coach Claudio Ranieri who had just been sacked from Greece after failing to qualify for the Euro Cup and suffering defeat to the Faroe Islands.
