The future for Leicester

Leicester City are already 24th in the rich list of world football clubs and should be in the top fifteen next year.   For example, if they achieve a top four finish and reach the knockout stages of the Champions League, their income could top £260m.

The global profile of the club is also improving.   From being one of the least watched clubs on television, they are only just behind the likes of Manchester United.

But can they repeat this year’s success?   There are a number of factors to consider, possibly one of the most important is the wages that they will have to be paid to retain their best players.
