I will give up with football if the allegations are true (I don't think they are)

Sometimes people just end up in the right job / place at the right time

They can apply their knowledge, get a bit of luck and momentum builds into fantastic achievements

Look at Arsene lucking into the players & mentality there was at Arsenal. Not so clever when he had to rebuild that squad

Good people can end up in the wrong place where for lots of reasons it just doesn't work

Another interesting fact.

If Leicester finish 1st or 2nd. Ranieri will become the first manager since 1925 to guide 2 successive teams to the top flights top two.

If Leicester win the league, it is the best single achievement in the history of the Prem. Also, Ranieri comes across as a likeable guy.

However, he needs to sustain his achievements to be considered an all-time great. 38 games is no fluke, but he has not had to battle fixture congestion from competing for European glory as well as the Prem. Also, he's been lucky with injuries, suspensions etc. (although to an extent you make your own luck with training methods).

Someone said that Ranieri built the team Mourinho won with during his first term at Chelsea, but Pearson built the Leicester team. Furthermore, some posters have been saying would Fergie, Mourinho, Wenger etc. win the Prem with this Leicester team; flip it around, would Ranieri win the Prem with the current Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea teams? I don't think so. There's a togetherness at Leicester which Ranieri inherited having beaten the drop last season, and one which Ranieri has astutely nurtured.
