I respect Jamie Vardy a lot, I think he is a fantastic player – he still has a lot to offer Leicester. But I think what is important is we don’t get dragged into a sideshow about everything that has happened in the past, which everyone is aware has been dealt with from a legal point of view. My job is to focus on Birmingham trying to win the game.

Rebekah Vardy lost her legal case against Coleen Rooney, leaving her with a substantial legal bill, reportedly of about £3m. After a two-week trial, which became a cultural talking point last year, the high court ruled that Rebekah must pay 90% of Coleen’s court costs. Birmingham entertain Leicester, the Championship leaders, at St Andrew’s hoping to improve on their run of two wins from 10 matches since Rooney replaced John Eustace in October. The 38-year-old previously suggested England should have lured Vardy out of retirement to partner Harry Kane at Euro 2020.
Rooney keen to avoid ‘Wagatha Christie’ sideshow as Birmingham face LeicesterWayne Rooney has stressed the importance of him and his Birmingham City players ignoring the “Wagatha Christie” backdrop to their match against Leicester City. Rooney said Birmingham could not afford to “get dragged into a sideshow” after the game was moved to Monday after being selected for a prime-time slot on Sky Sports. The match will probably be watched by millions but viewers may be disappointed that Jamie Vardy is set to miss out through injury. The broadcaster would have been hoping for former England teammates Rooney, the Birmingham manager, and Vardy to face each other for the first time since the libel case between Coleen and Rebekah, their respective wives, but the Leicester forward is not expected to feature because of a knee problem.
At the time, he said: “I know some people may be surprised at this, especially with the legal case between my wife and Jamie’s wife, but this is my honest football opinion. ”Asked this week whether he had a better relationship with Vardy than perhaps the public realise, Rooney replied: “I played with him for England, the same as I played with many players for England. He is not someone who I have ever had a relationship with, outside of being away on a training camp or being in games with him.
