I've heard it compared with Kaiserslautern winning the Bundesliga back in 1997/8 I think it was, and they were promoted that very same year, but the money involved in the EPL - I think Raheem Sterling is worth twice as much as Leicester's entire squad. And of course, before the season started, their odds of winning the league were 5000/1. You'd get better odds for stupid things like the discovery of the Loch Ness monster, or Kim Kardashian becoming US President. :p

For next season they'll have better chances of hanging on to the likes of Mahrez and Kante with CL football on offer.
