Are the Albion the Leicester of the Championship?

Leicester, as we all know, have come from nowhere to take the Premier League by storm, and are on the verge of pulling off one of the biggest shocks in many many years by actually winning it.

It makes me wonder if the Albion are the Championship equivalent. Like Leicester we were nowhere like season. came close to being relegated, (just as Leicester did), and here we are, possibly just two games from promotion to the promised land.

However it pans out, it's been an incredible season for both clubs.

Northampton Towns promotion from L2 to L1 trumps both Leicester winning PL and (if it happens) Albions promotion.

All we need then, is someone mega unlikely to be promoted from League One, to make it a clean sweep.

Not sure that is going to happen though.

So Leicester were nowhere last season, news to me.

While on paper Wigan winning League One isn't unusual given they will bounce straight back I think that given where they were relative to Burton Albion pre Christmas their winning the league is somewhat exceptional.

How the hell do you work that one out? Leicester winning the premiership in this day an age as a 5000/1 shot would trump anything else by a mile.

Only last November there were two winding up orders given , one by HMRC the other by Northampton council.
There was a loan provided to rebuild the stadium for which the money disappeared.
