Thanks to Martin O'neil for showing us what a, relatively, small team can achieve on a reasonable budget.
Thanks to Peter Taylor for making us realise how easily it can all come crashing down.
Thanks to Gary, Emile and the rest of the consortium that dug us out of administration.
Thanks to Milan, whatever you may think of him, for injecting some money when needed and then for selling us on to our present owners.
Thanks to our present owners for quickly understanding that throwing lots of money around, on high profile managers and players, does not necessarily bring success. Thanks also for their patience in a world that has gone mad with greed and instant gratification.
Thanks to Nigel for keeping a low profile and level head when all around were sometimes losing theirs.
Thanks to the players who have responded to his approach and to those that failed and thankfully were moved on to less green pastures.
Thanks to those amazing travelling fans, not only for this year, but in the dark days of relegation and Div 1. You have made it a great journey.
Thanks to all of you who regularly contribute to this site and help those of us far away keep in touch. I don't write a lot but I'm reading it everyday
We are back! Let's not lose our heads
Thanks... for 10 years in the making

Well done Montreal, a very good and comprehensive list. The only other people I can think of to add to this list of thanks is Radio Leicester, especially for people such as myself who can't get to as many games as I'd like. Stringer and Bourne are both passionate City fans themselves, Youngy is a fiery, totally unbiased Scotsman who loves referees. I have occasionally tuned into the deadly dull, bland commentaries and summarising on Radios Nottingham and Derby, making me appreciate our lot all the more.

Good point Filbert - I'd noticed the same thing when tuning in to the others (only when City weren't playing I might add!)
I can't get to many matches these days so Strings, Jason & Youngy bring their enthusiasm and a real game atmosphere into my living room.
Oh, and well done to Montreal as well - a great list of all those responsible for putting pride back into Leicester. I'm sure we have the best travelling support in the country

Thanks to Montreal for this article. I enjoyed it.

We must keep our heads. Back to back defeats at Liverpool and Man City will have the Pearson out gang fired up again. It'll be a huge jump next season, we might only win 10 games rather than 30 but we must give the manager and squad time to adapt.

Merci Montreal!
For stating what many other expats feel, particularly those who see fleetiing glimpses of City on TV
Also FilbertNutt for adding Radio Leicester - for all their faults can't fault their enthusiasm and provision of a link to the match (via LC Player)
MF - used to go to Champs on St Laurent (to watch 6 nations rugby) but now LCFC should be on as well if covered - though you will have plenty of choices now we are premier league!

Well said Montreal
Can I concur on your last point.
I find it hard to put into words sometimes but luckily there are some very excellent articles which like Montreal, I prefer to read more than comment.
Thanks to all of you who regularly contribute to this site, it is very much appreciated.
We are CHAMPIONS, bring out the

Good one Montreal.
I'll add in thanks to all the backroom staff particularly for keeping the team fit most of the time and to Steve Walsh for his fantastic scouting, unearthing gems like Mahrez.
