Yes, a team bought by a foreign billionaire willing to spend money suddenly got good, so good they ended up winning it all. Great for fans of Leicester, but what about all the fans of, say, Bolton? That's a team where the ownership has fallen apart and the team is insolvent and is now down in the 4th tier. Sucks to be them.
What if I told you there was a magical way to make sure that all teams competing were on an equal financial footing?

I think everyone in the country rejoiced when Leicester won. Everyone loves an underdog story.

Wolves were in the 4th tier, now they battle to get into europe. These things are cyclical over the generations. Sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down, but you're always there.
Out of interest, are you British or American?
