#2 – Leicester City go from heroes to zeros
They never really tell you what happens once the fairytale is over. Once the party has gone home and the reality begins to sink in, it’s not a surprise that so many who sit atop of the mountain sometimes get a little too comfortable.
No one thought the Foxes would win the league again, far from it. With big investments from those they embarrassed last season, it would be a surprise for them to challenge for Europe but a comfortable mid-table spot was ready for them.
However, that would not be the case.
A sleepy start crept into a long, winding downfall that slowly saw them creep towards the Premier League trap door. It led to a reported dressing room revolt, with those same players that adored Claudio Ranieri’s laid back style so willing to sharpen their knives once things turned against them.
With the loveable Italian gone, the Leicester players have buckled down to pull themselves out of the mire for now. That being said, regardless of how this season finishes, there will be a bitter taste in the mouth for the neutrals that have turned on the once-adored underdogs.
This is not how anyone expected the greatest footballing story to end.
