Your point is thought provoking , I do suspect the change in the club to become a more dynamic one seeking to join the elite ,with the added woes of commercial pitfalls, blood sucking agents,players joining just for the wages , lack of club commitment and local involvement all supports that view, that is what made the Leicester experience so special.
So many clubs go up ,reach the height of fame and then fall into the abyss ,just look at Leeds , Bolton , Pompey ,Forest.
