Leicester City Championship season is hard to put into perspective discovered for the American fans only the English Premier League with its increased exposure to television and marketing accompaniment of money on this side of the Atlantic. Yes, sit the foxes in the relegation zone at the end of the 2014-15 season - his first in the Premier after an absence of ten years in the second and third tier of English football. Yes, the club had to win 5000-1 chances of the championship in 2015-16. But these facts do not seem to fully understand made for the history of Hollywood, the Englishman.
One way to quantify the season is to see how twenty Premier League teams made in relation to the salary scale of the individual clubs. Earned output setting the table this season with points of one million pounds salaries, according to Fox Sports, as * (the position of each club in the table in brackets) the following classification:
Club points // // // wages (in millions) Points million pounds
Bournemouth (16) 42 25 1680
Leicester (1) 48.5 81 1,670
Watford (13) 45 29 1551
Southampton (5) 63 59.5 1059
Swansea (12) 47 51 0.922
Norwich (19) 34 37 919
West Ham (7) 62 69.5 0.892
Crystal Palace (15) 42 54.3 0.773
Stoke (9) 51 72.3 0.705
Spurs (3) 70 110.5 0,633
Everton (11) 47 74.7 0.629
W Bromwich (14) 43 68.5 0.628
Sunderland (17) 39 71 0,549
Newcastle (18) 37 75.8 0.488
Liverpool (8) 60 152 0,395
Arsenal (2) 71 192 0.370
City (4) 193.8 66 0.341
United (5) 66 203 0.325
Villa (20) 17 65.1 0.261
Chelsea (10) 50 215.6 0.232
We see the radical inequality of the financial structure of the connection between the few rich and many poor. Four clubs have salaries of more than 192 million pounds (277.68 million US dollars), with Chelsea leading to the equivalent of USD 311.8 million. Dodgers ($ 253.6M) and Yankees ($ 227.9M): To put this in perspective, only two major league teams a payroll of more than $ 200 million opening day in 2016 had.
While Major League Baseball a relatively uniform of the biggest clubs in the market, mid-market and small market distribution and saw 11 different teams in the World Series is a comparative oligarchy last 10 Premier League start. Under the Filthy Rich-four, only two clubs (Liverpool and Tottenham to 152M 110.5M) payrolls was more than 100 meters. While Tottenham sixth of previous wages, which was a distant sixth, that real wages Spurs Team were closer in the League editions lowest, Bournemouth (25M), took the Chelsea. The teams with the three lower wages - Norwich City (37M), Watford (29M) and Bournemouth (25M) - each had the lowest wage sum of the difference between the clubs with the fourth (Arsenal, 192M) and fifth (Liverpool) wages. Pity poor Norwich, who sit in the upper third of our graph based on the return on investment has relegated to 19th on the leaderboard completion. The fate of these Canarias speaks to the terms of the coal mine.
From the first season of the Premier League in 1992-93 until this year only five teams were won the title. Start outliers 1994-95 season Blackburn (now compete in the second row the English Championship League after being relegated in 2012), so that Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Manchester City - no by chance, today the teams with the four highest salaries. Compared to the big leagues, which has often been criticized for their lack of financial capital, the Premier League not only become an oligarchy, but a pure and simple plutocracy.
This Leicester broke the door of only 48.5 million pounds makes it even more incredible historical achievement. Watford are congratulated for finishing in mid-table and Bournemouth to avoid relegation. But it is nothing more than a club put a target on his back at the top of the table to get 13 in game, never go below the second beyond this point, and the holding of the first for the last 16 games.
New Year, Arsenal sat on the table, and most commentators assumed Leicester pressure punching would succumb to her weight. Many wondered whether Leicester end even as high as 4 to qualify for the play-off for next season in the Champions League - usually an end in itself inconceivable to stay for a club who had just last Dunkerque season in the League. But last season was Tottenham the only opponent left in the mathematical storybook script Leicester.
If Tottenham with Chelsea in the "Battle on the Bridge" drew controversial Game 36, the title Leicester offer, reported Leicester values in the title "Tottenham defeated" had. Of course it was a false story. Leicester had all season and had given up all challengers repelled. Tottenham preseason choice in the top 4 this season, wrote several chapters to end stories about their own, while they were in midseason execution. unlikely Spurs reached the second place in the table early February, where they remained until the last week of the season and automatic shutdown Champions League qualification for the first time in club history. (She qualified for the phase of the CL play-off for the 4th finish in the Premier in 2010) All of this was achieved during the whole season playing on your list with only one real striker Harry Kane, the first English 16 years the golden shoe to win as top scorer in the league, although not until the seventh game of his club's first goal. Leicester and Tottenham had called eight players of the combined 11 Premier League team of the year in which share both teams content significantly lower than those obtained Arsenal 159 million.
Clubs that usually the Champions League for several seasons occupied these points are also those who spent lost the most this season by our table. Aston Villa are derived only from the league after a disastrous season, joining Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and shame among the five biggest spenders in the league of the waste with the fewest points per pound. For those who pay attention that a lot said that both Chelsea and Arsenal fans seemed their club to define seasons over Tottenham, the youngest team in the league. If Spurs had suspended two important midfielders in the last game and then come second by a point to Arsenal, the player Arsenal (including, but for some reason, the keeper Wojciech Szczesny, who has not even played for the club after loan to Italian championship in 2015) and trailer (Arsenal ESPN resident fanboy) suddenly treated as an opportunity to take victory laps. Meantime mounted Chelsea, Champion Defense League, the campaign throughout the season disinterested and struggling to finish 10th. mocks intelligent, the contingent of Chelsea fans passes the accession to the player Catering had suddenly awakened to save as a very tight game with the Spurs club on May 2 Chelsea a 2-2 game managed to play at home, celebrated their fans as if they had won the FA Cup.
Ironically, the same trailer - fear of the possibility of another London club win the league - had gathered to Leicester and his manager, Claudio Ranieri, who was unceremoniously sacked by Chelsea in 2004, when Ranieri Director of Leicester Summer appointed past, new trailer Club Spurs Yorker tweeted: "Chelsea fans that the new boss Claudio Ranieri ask :. Leicester manager until 2004 or shortly before a fan of Chelsea to be"
If I had listened to Arsenal fans in recent seasons, he had heard, always adhere to the limits of their budget complain about compared to other big clubs, Tottenham and often in this conversation grouped habits of wasteful spending by the company adopted new players in the transfer market. But slipped as Arsenal of the wage scale, hit nearly a swimming club Manchester City in oil, while aggressively to spend in the transfer market, Tottenham survived to open for 2018-19 in a relatively tight budget during the opening of the new stadium due. In fact, the Spurs are the only team who turned a net profit in the transfer market in the last five seasons of the twenty teams PL this season. Leicester had technically placing even a 55M network, in the upper half of the league in transfer fees. But when you consider the return on investment of the Kings this season players like Jaime Vardy (signed in 2012) has, Riyad Mahrez (2014), and Ngolo edge (2015), we have about your expenses related to the talk Fortuna, in contrast to the large consumers who can afford to pave their mistakes. The five largest net expenses in the transfer market at this time? Manchester City (313.5M in costs), Manchester United (288.3M), Chelsea (220.2M), Liverpool (163.3M) and Arsenal (104M). Each surprise were these clubs to end the only outside Tottenham and Leicester during this period Top 4 in each season?
I always find it difficult season Leicester perspective for fans who are just impressive in European football, but perhaps more, convey his realization vividly: Make a great workout leagues Super Division next season are the Mets, national, Cubs, Dodgers, giants and Yankees, a team of children, such as AAA buffalo Bisons ... leagues and then the Bison can see for the first time after all -Star gets break and run away with the division. It will not happen in 200 years. But he did it in the Premier League this season.
Now, make the eyes to the next season. One wonders how Leicester compete on two fronts in the league and in Europe, something not to put the this season. You must also have the FA Cup do not worry, after the Spurs eliminated within two exciting game in January. The two seven times in the Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup matches have taken in the past two seasons with the Spurs win three with 2 Leicester, and two draws. This is something that fans of MLB, NFL, NHL, NBA or for programming consistency is used, could not include: support for the various competitions to radically different overall game between the clubs may result in the same league. Leicester has played 42 games in all competitions in 2015-16; Spurs played 53rd
Spurs, meanwhile are now freed from the poisoned chalice of games in high competition Europa League. This is another way the oligarchy, the status quo is replaced; like a club makes its way means that the ladder and knocks on the door of the top 4, a fifth place that the club to spend more than a week, determined in the next season on a Thursday through Sunday schedule - something damage showed statistically in the league performance of the clubs, because the recovery period of two days - while a calendar drainage can post to the far reaches of Eastern Europe, the portions or appear on any map officer. Tottenham was in the Europa League in the last five seasons, what most commentators argue against the association's efforts worked the top 4 to give - especially in one or two seasons, when the difference between a win and a zero clearance would have a league match made the difference. The future looks bright for Tottenham, perhaps more clearly than the fact that friendly Leicester go as Spurs ahead with the recent Premier and lock manager Mauricio Pochettino team that an extension has just signed. Into the 2020-21 season
As for Bournemouth, Watford and Swansea League, they are competitive or fall into the relegation zone for the next season to stay? It is Star moneyed Chelsea qualify after European competition, in the absence of either, to focus on the Premier League for a full season? Arsenal is a place on the shelf next to all these spaces Trophies positions? And Liverpool, Europa League and runner-up in this year League Cup, which will enter its first full season in Manager Jürgen Klopp?
The transfer window this summer will go a long way to determine if the oligarchy to recover next season.
* It can irregularities with regard to the public communication of the costs incurred. For example, the overall lists Sportek site to the payroll of Leicester 48.3, the set of the smallest margins at the top of our table here can move In addition, as of Fox Sports noted:. "Manchester City it may seem, to compensation on the face value have fallen, but in fact [because of bonus structures in the contracts of individual actors] more than any club in England forking -. and probably Europe "
