Guess the odds are against them then. Maybe CL could be a more statistically viable alternative.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Tbf, they've not done it with money!
Heard an interview where he flatly ruled out managing Italy, said he'll end his career at Leicester.

I think the number one priority next season would be the same as this, not getting relegated and they should be shrewd enough to know it's a genuine possibility. They have to really go for it in the CL as well though with maybe a view to resting players during League Cup and FA Cup games, I think If I was a fan I'd want them to give it their all as they may never get another shot in the CL but being safe in PL is just as important. Would it be worth Leicester resting players in PL games either directly before or after CL games in the hope they either get lucky in that league game or they'll pick up enough points elsewhere that's it worth it.
What's the prize money for winning the title? On top of the TV money + CL money I reckon they could rake in huge prize money as well.
I think TV money is allotte according to league position. They will apparently £91m this season from that, just £20m more than last season.
I was surprised how much of a big deal they were when I was in Barcelona in Jan just talking to people in a bar. I reckon there's going to be a lot of sponsors wanting a piece of them on the back of this season.
I think they'll be this seasons Chelsea next season (maybe not perform as bad, just be about mid table).
Oh yeah, I think you're right. Still though, this huge financial boost could turn them into a regular PL team like Swansea when they promoted to the PL.
They've massively overachieved this year (credit to them though)
Next season it'll be midtable for them

Nah, they've got a much better manager than Chelsea had. Don't think many managers bar Jose could make a team implode so quickly.
Top 4 is mathematically secured for them. Even if United wins their next 6 games, they'd be on 71 points. Leicester is on 72.
Sounds like a bad management mistake. Tickets are offered for up to 7500 quid for their final home game while some of their long-term fans weren't allocated a ticket. I am always wondering how brainless people in charge can be. Or maybe they don't give a f****.
Not sure what the club could do there - reads like all tickets were bought initially by season ticket holders/ club members, before being sold on*. If you're to blame anyone it's the fans for selling out on the clubs' success to screw over their fellow supporters.
* Correct me if I'm wrong!
To be honest, if it were possible to make around £2000 for a ticket then I think I'd be facing a huge decision to make. It's a ridiculous amount of profit to be made there.
More the fault of people buying them.

You'd be rich now, had you put a bet on them. They have gone beyond their wildest imagination
I think it's sickening that the price has gone up. Dedictated fans, who have been going there all season will miss out because they won't be able to afford. Yet, the owners will up the price, because they know people will be desperate to watch Leicester lift the EPL trophy. Absolute disgrace.
I'd love for Leicester to win the title on a relatively shoestring budget when it took city about 5 years and £1bn of oil money investment to win the title on goal difference. 
Story of my life..
Anybody read this very good article on Leicester's finances?
