For the big name clubs in England this season, the 2015/16 Premier League campaign has been defined by turmoil at the managerial position.

Looking at the title — yes, I know, it’s crazy to ask the question. But it has seemed to me that it is genuinely a question that people seem to be avoiding. Without a doubt, Leicester winning the Premier League would be one of the greatest stories of an underdog overachieving in the history of […]
