Jamie Vardy becomes co-owner of Rochester Rhinos (American Football Team "Soccer")

[LinekersLugs]

Thier house is forsale , being marketed privately via Kings West but that doesn’t mean anything as they have a couple of houses, I’m sure it’s a given he is off to America next summer

There's a surprise a paper putting 2 and 2 together and getting 22 from it to give them a sensational head line.

He has a contract for one more season doesn't he?

 

My guess is that they'll have an extended summer holiday now and around Christmas, Rebekah will move to America to set up home and Jamie will join her out there at the end of next season.

I would be surprised if this doesn’t happen.

Hope he sees out his career here. I can understand the desire for another pay day coming into the profession fairly late but I’d love to see him stay here until he retires and to keep pushing goal scoring records. Such a great influence on the team.

[Sampson]

Don’t mind him going to the US in a few years, but I’d the really gutted if all this crap led to him leaving the club early while he’s still got it.

[mod hero]

This trial is gonna cost Vards a lot of money if they lose. Surely needs stay with us for a couple of years to claw back some dough 💷

 

Rebekah Vardy really is an unlikable woman.

[Jon the Hat]

He is not going to play for RNYFC if he goes to the US, would turn up at one of the bug MLS sides.

[Sampson]

Not going to link to a tabloid, but she allegedly said the reports of them going to the US are catagorically untrue in the mirror.

Jamie Vardy's Rochester New York FC ceases operations

MLS Next Pro team Rochester New York FC has ceased operations.

Rochester made the announcement on March 10, citing insufficient funds “coupled with other challenges resulted in no path to sustainability.”

The team had a longstanding history under its previous iteration, the Rochester Rhinos, before it took a hiatus in 2017 and returned as Rochester New York FC in 2021 under new ownership. 

A new ownership group took over, including Leicester striker Jamie Vardy. At that time, Vardy expressed excitement over an opportunity to invest in American football: “I’ve been looking at opportunities in the United States for a while, but there was something about Rochester and the Rhinos that just felt right.”

Following the rebrand, the club began play in MLS Next Pro in 2022 as the only team in the third-tier league not to be affiliated with a MLS franchise. 

It only lasted one year.

“While our first year was fraught with challenges, we nonetheless persevered and qualified for the playoffs,” the club said in a statement. “As we began the offseason it became apparent that to stay competitive, we would need a significantly greater investment in many aspects of the club.

“Despite increased attendance, including the addition of nearly 600 temporary seats at our last match, the unfortunate reality is the current infrastructure coupled with other challenges resulted in no path to sustainability.

“We were in advanced discussions with an ownership group to acquire a majority interest in RNYFC. However, the purchasing group decided not to proceed earlier this week as we were moving to close. This left us with no time and no choice but to decline fielding a team in 2023.”

Becky: "Get us into the Owners Box for the footy in New York"

 

Jamie:  "Job done"

 

This was never going to work.
