WHAT A FAIRY TALE!
Domestic football has never seen a come up like this!!!
2007-8:
Struggling Leicester are relegated to the embarrassing League One (England’s 3rd Tier). Their lowest point in their 120 year plus history.
2008-9
Leicester win the League One title and are promoted back to the Championship (England’s 2nd tier league).
2011-12:
Finishing position: 9th in the Championship
The 2011 summer saw Leicester spend big in an attempt to gain promotion back to the Premier League, but an inconsistent start saw manager Sven-Göran Eriksson sacked after a 3–0 defeat at home to struggling Millwall saw Leicester sitting in 13th position after 13 games.
After days of negotiations, Nigel Pearson was finally re-appointed as manager on 15 November 2011, starting his second spell at the club after leaving for Hull City 17 months earlier. However, the club continued their inconsistent form under Pearson and sat mid-table for virtually the entire season before eventually finishing in 9th place.
2012-13:
Finishing position: 6th in the Championship
The 2012–13 season was Leicester City F.C.'s fourth consecutive season in the Football League Championship (England’s 2nd Division).
Leicester began with a promising first half of the season and sat in 2nd place at the beginning of February. However, a dramatic downturn in form, which saw the Foxes win just 2 of their following 16 games, saw Leicester not only drop out of the automatic promotion places, but the play-offs as well and they began the final game of the season against local rivals Nottingham Forest in 8th place. The Foxes won 2-3 with a dramatic late winner from Anthony Knockaert, and coupled with Bolton Wanderers failing to win, Leicester took the final play-off spot and finished 6th.
Leicester eventually lost to Watford in the play-off semi-final though, after a dramatic winner deep into injury time by Troy Deeney, which came as the result of a counter-attack from Anthony Knockaert’s missed penalty (which would have sent Leicester through to the final).
2013-14:
Finishing position: 1st in the Championship
The 2013–14 season was Leicester City F.C.'s fifth consecutive season in the Football League Championship (2nd Division)
The season saw Leicester win their seventh second tier title, equalling the record for the most second tier titles set by Manchester City after leading the table since Boxing Day and comfortably earning promotion with six games to spare, before winning the title with two games to spare.
Along the way, they broke several club records including most points in a single season (102), most league wins in a single season (31), most league home wins in a single season (17), the most consecutive league wins (9), the most consecutive away league wins (5) and the longest unbeaten run away from home in the league (13) and the most consecutive league games scored in (31) (the latter two records continued on to the following season).
2014-15:
Finishing position: 14th in the English Premier League
The 2014–15 season was Leicester City F.C.'s first time in Premier League in ten years, having been promoted from the way Championship as champions.
The season saw Leicester finish 14th in the Premier League, securing another top flight season. Despite the club being marooned at the bottom of the table for four and a half months between late November and mid April, the Foxes managed to put together a run of 7 wins from their last 9 fixtures to survive comfortably.
2015-16:
Finishing position: 1st in the English Premier League
Tottenham Hotspurs draw at Stamford Bridge on 2nd May 2016, leaving the Foxes 7 points clear at the top, with 2 games to play.
