Probably go down as one of the stupidest decisions of a football club in recent seasons, selling the number one goalkeeper a club legend and captain days before the start of the season and not bothering to replace him.

One of the most bizarre decisions this football club has EVER made.  Where was the gain?  What was the benefit? 

 

I just pray the decision won't be terminal.  However I'm fearing the worst right now.

Sounds like a lot of Nice fans would be happy to buy him a ticket back.

About 7m off the annual wage bill for a club struggling financially

Yet we gave a 35 year old (same age as Kasper), declining and injury-prone Vardy a contract extension to 2024 in the same summer.  Makes no sense.

Yeah it's money, our wages must be in such a state. It was logical.

 

The decision after though truly was bizarre. Not bettering Kasper is probably the worst thing we've done as a club for a long long time. And i mean no disrespect to Ward, it's not his fault, but he's a reserve at best, cup keeper if we have to. He's by a large margin the worst Premier League keeper this season and it shows. Even from an FPL perspective this is the first time to my knowledge a 4.0 GK has been an actual number 1 starter and is intended to be the starter. It's baffling and I don't know if it's Rudkin, Rodgers or someone else but they've really damaged us.

That declining striker finished 8th top scorer in the league despite playing 25 games

I’m assuming Kaspar asked to leave and we honoured a club legend as we should.

Not saying we should have got rid of Vardy, far from it.

 

But a fresh new contract when we're supposedly skint?  So skint that we needed to bin off our most experienced player, Denmarks number 1 and the backbone of our defence?  

 

Nothing about his departure made sense.  Especially when we had offers to get rid of some of our other deadwood but didn't take it.

To be fair I think a lot of those people were expecting he would be replaced with Pope or Henderson not that somehow Ward would start.

I miss Kasper, what a presence he was. Bilingual but far more articulate than any English national I've seen interviewed. 

Just watched an extended highlight of the FA finals, Kasper hands down won us that game, what a player!

Which means he will score even more during his extended contract despite getting older.:blink:

Kasper is past his best of that there is no doubt. Ward is playing because this club needed to remove Kasper's salary from the wage bill and were not prepared to hire another top class , and expensive , goalkeeper to replace him.. We have saved , if you also include Fofana , about 12.5 million a year . That would be about £10 million if you include Faes. Great news , we are also bottom of the league with one point.

Vardy's contract could have ran down til May and there's a 1% chance he would pack his bags and leave us. Personally I don't see why we rushed into offering him an extension so early

Vardy was offered and signed a reduced wage contract something  Kasper wasn’t prepared to do .

He scored 4 in last 5 games 

Top quality regular strikers are hard to come by in the Prem as the club found out with Daka.
