Everyone is doing #Reloaded versions and throwbacks and all in this current unfortunate situation, so let me narrate this wonderful or perhaps the greatest miracle in sports history ever...
This story is about Leicester City, the Fearless Foxes in town.
2014 Leicester City were promoted from the Championship or second division in normal words to the top tier aka the Premier League.
However life in Premier League wasn't as good as it was in Championship.
Leicester City found it really difficult to cope.
2 wins out of 17 during Christmas period, languishing at bottom.
It was all doomed for them.
Longest winless run of 13 games in this season belonged.

However a miracle from the Foxes under Nigel Pearson see them fight against all odds and climb up on 14th spot at season end, fighting for blood to secure safety.
Highly unlikely you'd say, if you would see during mid season.
Premier League status for 2015 season SECURED.

However, Pearson who helped them achieve this great escape was sacked off his post, largely for huge scandal that took place post PL season, that included his son.
13/07/2015
Claudio Ranieri is appointed as replacement of Pearson.
Not a welcome move by many pundits because Leicester barely survived fighting the escape and this move didn't make sense according to them.
The Italian in his first presser focused on "40 points"

With a net spend of around €16m for the summer, it was quite some business under Ranieri.
Shinji Okazaki, N'Golo Kante, Robert Huth, Christian Fuchs were some major picks whilst lots of others were sent on loan spells to championship clubs.
