Yes. Leicester's rise through the system was a direct result of money being pumped in by their owner, a foreign billionaire. They were purchased 5 years prior to winning the Premier League and immediately upgraded their sponsorships, facilities, staff, and players. Did money make them win the premier league? No, but it couldn't have happened without it and it had nothing to do with meritocracy or the local community.
