Now to get back on topic and calm things down a bit:
I think Ranieri was a little lucky to walk into a Leicester City team that for many reasons has gone on to do what it has. He found the team ready and prepared to go. He didn't have to build a team. All he had to do, according to himself, was tell them to go out and play and show him what they can do. Some times this is just as effective coaching as any other. They won a few games and the momentum grew. Ranieri was instructive in taking the pressure off them and letting them enjoy their free style of play.
I am not saying that if Pearson was still in charge Leicester would be top of the PL now. They probably wouldn't because Pearson is a bit of an asshole who pisses players off. Ranieri's character and personality has suited this Leicester team in a very timely fashion. I think even Ranieri is surprised and continues to be surprised every week when they win game after game. Next season they could be mid table at best with the same players.
For now though, I hope they win the league. No other team is more deserving considering that everyone else around them has spend millions on players.
