Vardy’s comments about “not hiding away” - or however he phrased it today - is definitely a dig at those off the pitch. He knows the senior management don’t say enough and just prefer to hide behind their annual email / Press Release.
Don’t get me wrong, Vardy’s not been great. No one has. But he’s nearly 40, he’s not the same Vardy anymore and he’s playing in one of the worst teams we’ve ever seen. Even if first touch and lay-offs have been awful all season. He’ll know that he won’t play Prem football again. But at least he’s come out and said something, unlike our owners who will either urge us to renew our season tickets or tell us they’ll do another ‘inquiry’.
