Not that long ago Leicester City were the club everyone outside England's elite aspired to be. A beacon of hope that you did not need an oligarch or a nation state to achieve great things.
Not just for the miracle of 2016. Beyond that, here was a club that took great pride in sitting on the back row of the big boys' bus where they did not belong.
One that sold key players but improved with it, with a respected coach working with exciting talent, all part of a well-run outfit. Two fifth-placed finishes, an FA Cup and a Community Shield.
