Champions to relegation


The greatest fairytale in sporting history has turned into the most heart-breaking nightmare. Last season, the affable, gentlemanly Claudio Ranieri led a group of misfits who just months before had been engrossed in a relegation battle to a miraculous Premier League title victory.
Their underdog story saw talk of a Hollywood production raised, but less than a year later the script has changed dramatically. With Ranieri’s dressing room now said to be in disarray, Leicester find themselves just a point above the bottom three after losing five league games in a row with no goals scored.
So what has gone wrong?
"It's difficult to say what is wrong because we are doing the same things as last season," Ranieri said recently. "Last season everything was fantastic, now everything is wrong. That is not possible. For this reason, it is important to stay together, to work the same as last year.”
