lets not forget with the television revenue aswell as the money they get for winning the league and participation in the champions league revenue, they may not be just a flash in the pan! -

Their form this season has been a continuation of their strong finish to the last campaign, so it'd be foolish to assume that the momentum will just come to a halt when the next one gets going. If anything the spirit's only going to get better.
Can't see a mass exodus happening either. Kante and Mahrez will be getting some admiring glances but I wouldn't be surprised if they gave it at least another season. And with all the prize money and TV revenue coming their way you'd imagine they'd spend something like £50-60m strengthening, and spend it well too.
The biggest challenge will be with how Ranieri manages a deeper squad. With all the extra games coming their way the side isn't going to be anything like as settled as it has been. Similar situation to Liverpool a couple of years back really. Finished 2nd with no European distractions, dropped to 6th the following year. Ranieri might be better equipped to deal with that than Rodgers was, mind.
Obviously not going to win it again though, and if you offered them 4th now they'd probably bite your hand off. I'll predict somewhere between 4th and 8th. -

i dunno they could compete for that top spot again but like ScottyRampant said the distraction of Europe could effect that, another being that Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool etc all under perform once again making it easier to be at the top -

I think Leicester have been hot and cold this season. They looked very convincing in the Champions League and in a couple of Premier League games and plain sloppy in some games. I think they should finish in the top half of the table, but not in the top five in my opinion. I think their squad will find it harder this season with the Champions League. That said, it doesn't explain some of their sloppy defending.
I don't mind sloppy defending when it comes to Rampant babes, I love a nice "open goal" mmm :) -

The only team ever to win the Champions league and get relegated in one season :P ,how Kante is missed
Champions Leicester have now gone 11 games without an away league victory this season - having won 11 times on their travels en route to the title. The 37 goals they have conceded in 22 games so far is one more than the total shipped in the whole of last season. -

Oh my word,fuck, what a shock :(
Leicester sack Claudio Ranieri less than a year after winning Premier League
Leicester have sacked manager Claudio Ranieri, less than a year after the Italian led to the Premier League title.
Despite a late goal from Jamie Vardy on Wednesday night that ensured they head into the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against Sevilla with a 2-1 deficit, it is understood that the 65-year-old was informed of the decision on his return from Spain.
“This has been the most difficult decision we have had to make in nearly seven years since King Power took ownership of Leicester City,” said a statement from vice chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha. “But we are duty-bound to put the club’s long-term interests above all sense of personal sentiment, no matter how strong that might be.
Just hope they get relegated now

Redknapp not shocked at Ranieri news
The BT Sport pundits have their say on Claudio Ranieri's sacking:
Jermaine Jenas : "I think it's a joke. In the second half against Seville they were back to their best."
Glenn Hoddle: "Very surprised, shocked. I dont know who they will bring in. What he's done is incredible."
Harry Redknapp: "I wasn't that surprised. Disappointed. He has done an amazing job. When teams are down there now, with what's at stake, owners do make those changes and panic. I'm sad to see it. He can walk away and hold his head high, incredible."
