Why Leicester City won't experience the same success next season

Other clubs strengthening their squads

Chelsea will be a formidable side under Antonio Conte

Given the season of underachievement that the aforementioned clubs have seen, their respective billionaire owners won’t be sitting silently.

Manchester City have already set the wheels in motion by appointing the most sought-after coach in the world in Pep Guardiola and another summer of squad restructuring is on the cards. Chelsea have Antonio Conte coming in and a major upheaval awaits Stamford Bridge and what history has shown us that Roman Abramovich is never one to shy away from loosening his purse strings.

Given the underwhelming nature of the season and the supporters’ displeasure at the “unattractive” brand of football dished out by Van Gaal’s men, a change in personnel and possibly the coach would be warranted at Manchester United. Klopp will finally get a chance to fashion the squad in his own firebrand image to turn Liverpool a club that inspires fear in the opposition hearts.

And this is even without considering the effects of the £8.3 billion TV windfall which all 20 Premier League clubs will receive. And thus from next season, we will see a more level playing field where even promoted clubs will have the finances to attract global superstars thereby increasing the level of competition in the league.

Agreed that even Leicester have a billionaire at the helm - Thai tycoon Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, the founder and CEO of King Power. But he is unlikely to flex his financial muscle as much as the Abramovich’s or the Sheikh Mansour’s of the world.
