Leicester Citys title run was the biggest upset in modern sport and Vichai made this all possible. Thoughts with his family and the families of the pilots

Do you know how lucrative owning a premier league team is? Especially when you also have enormous exposure for your company on top of all the revenue, not to mention eternal gratitude from the entire city for winning the title

The only way you make profit from owning a team is either by asset stripping like what happened at AFC Wimbledon or by having an innumerable amount of fans. The previous owner was NOT operating at profit, that's why the fans loved him. If a business minded person buys the team they simply won't be able to keep buying players to the rate that the bigger teams can and still make a profit. They would have to start asset stripping or spending next to nothing which will lead to them getting relegated. Look at all the great teams that are now in lower leagues because of how the premier league is geared only to make profit and not for good football. Company exposure means nothing when 99% of team owners are foreigners who don't even operate in England. It's just a status symbol for billionaires to own.
