that's actually my theory on football managers

success is 25% manager skill, 25% player skill, 50% luck.

See Leicester - take Mahrez out of the mix and are they title winners? Take Ranieri out of the mix and are they title winners? Would vardy be touted fir England if playing here?

They all need a perfect storm to look good.
