Happy Fox Posted 14 July 2023 Share Posted 14 July 2023 18 minutes ago, HankMarvin said: If he wants to stay at the club, he should reduce or agree part payment pending promotion and him hitting a certain threshold of games and goals. If he doesn’t then he should seek pastures new. I rather be watching the club compete in years to come than a Vardy swan song on ridiculous wages that could lead to major issues or sacrificing other areas that need strengthening. No doubt that's what the club have done, It's up to the board to find a resolution with Vardy. Would the likes of Everton lower premier league clubs be willing to pay his wages?

Fox85 Posted 14 July 2023 Share Posted 14 July 2023 He is on 7.5 million a year at Leicester even though we have been relegated. His wages alone pays for Piroe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lambert09 Posted 14 July 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 14 July 2023 (edited) Part of me thinks that in order to have a full club reset, we sort of need him to go. As much as I love him, I just get the feeling that he’s not going to be quiet if he isn’t 1st choice. The comments he made in that interview after leeds seemed like he was annoyed at brendan for dropping him. But from the outside, I think we all saw it was needed and brendan probably took too long. I just can’t see it being good for the club culture if he’s not the main man. FWIW i still think he’d bag 20 goals in this league but we need to start rebuilding for the future, i’d prefer to have a full clean slate. But … if conversations are had and vardy is fine with a less prominent role… than that’s a different story altogether Edited 14 July 2023 by Lambert09 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOAT! When you’re so financially restricted, as we will be in the EFL… there’s no room for such sentiment unfortunately. Promotion is much more important than giving Vardy a ‘loyalty bonus’ for the sake of the future of our club. If Top really wanted to reward him, he could bung him some dough when he retires or something. FWIW, I do want to keep hold of Vardy, but not at the expense of our future.

Reckon starting in about half of them will be totally fine with him and at the same time it's probably not going to be detrimental to our season either. I really don't think there's a need to actively phase him out, it'll take care of itself over the next season I reckon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_Nige Posted 15 July 2023 Share Posted 15 July 2023 If we create chances Vardy will score. His predatory instant has gone nowhere and in sheer know how around the box Vardy is head and shoulders around anyone else in the division. Even at his age It all goes back to the type of possession football we play, if it is sideways and pedestrian then Vardy will struggle. You can’t expect him to create his own chances on a regular basis, and constantly be on the shoulder of the defence moving them around. Last session especially we were over reliant on Maddison or Barnes conjuring something up out of nothing, how many good chances did we actually create for our strikers? Can hardly remember any. Especially after Christmas If we play football in the oppositions half, pen them back in their final third and encourage/demand off the ball movement then he’ll fire us to promotion 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just accept that your claim of £7.5m per year is wrong.

Clever Fox Posted 15 July 2023 Share Posted 15 July 2023 We all love Vardy for what he means to us. But he should really take the Saudi Money on offer for a season or two. Then come back here for an Ambassador type role for the Club. At best I can only seem him playing 20 games + Substituations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimJams Posted 15 July 2023 Share Posted 15 July 2023 The Saudi money that was offered to Vardy wasn't in the same ballpark as that offered to the likes of Kante etc. It wasn't a PIF club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
