​ @KJames2345 Sorry, but you're in no position to talk about FACTS, when you're busy constantly contradicting and debunking your own statements, in every other sentence.
First, you incorrectly claim Leicester have "always been a top tier footballing club": INCORRECT.
Second, you immediately contradict yourself by stating "they have been in the top division for 35 years since the 67/68 season": INCORRECT.
Third, you proceed to further contradict yourself yet again, by stating they were promoted just after the start of the Premier League and then relegated a decade later. Then obviously, they have not "always been a top tier footballing club" by your own confused admition, making you INCORRECT ... AGAIN!
Leicester's accrued points tally on the all time top flight league table places them 24th (that means 23 other clubs have spent more time and/or accrued more points than the Foxes in the top flight). In case you haven't noticed, there have only been 20 teams in the top flight for nearly 30 years now.
Leicester's 'League performance chart' on Wikipedia, which accurately catalogues their final league positions from every single season campaign from the clubs foundation, right up unto the present season, reveals Leicester have spent almost an equal amount of seasons playing in the first tier as they have playing in the second tier of English football. With slightly more time down in the latter.
Hence, (exactly as I stated), Leicester is a smaller club, whose traditional club standing is in the Championship (second tier) fighting for promotion.

​ @klejdiislami6693 You can't use an exception to a rule to try to prove a point. How many football clubs are owned by sports-washing nation states? ... I know Leicester and Brighton certainly aren't. You can't say that the bought success that clubs who have undoubteldy bent/broken FFP rules to gain unfair advantages are "the norm".
And by the way, not many saw Chelsea's current problems ever occurring while Abramovich was still in charge. New ownership, new league position. And even Man City's run of success, who are utterly dominant right now, will not last. I predicted that one way or another Abramovich would leave Chelsea several years ago and that they would revert to being a mid-table Premier League club. Obviously, I never forsaw the exact circumstances that would lead to his exit, but Roman was already looking to sell before being forced to.
So call me Nostradamus if you must, but I promise you this, Man City's owners will also be forced to sell that club within the next decade or so, and with it will go their dominant streak. Could that be hastened by the outcome of the current legal charges hanging over the club and owners, in a similar fashion to Abramovich's ousting due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine? ... Stranger things have happened, but one way or another ... it WILL happen. :trust:
