Similarly wages are all relative.....Rooney on £300k a week, Aguero £260k, Toure £240k, Hazard £220k, Ozil £190k..............Vardy £40k a week.......
Now £40,000 a week is still an obscene amount of money to be paid to kick a bag of wind around for 90 minutes a week......but the whole Leicester squad were assembled for a fraction of the cost of the squads of Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea etc etc......the wage bill of the entire Leicester squad is a fraction of the others, the commercial income must also be a fraction.........thats what makes this the story that it is.
A club in administration only 14 years ago, a club who just survived relegation last season, a club who sacked the manager who led them to the great escape last season and took on a manager who had just had a torrid time as the manager of Greece losing his final game in charge to the Faroe Islands of all teams!
A club who stood tall against the big boys, whom everyone expected to blow up at some point in the season......they didn't, and they are the Champions of England.
That is a fairytale in my book!!
