Vardy's missus was with Dennis Wise in the jungle. They just went to a party. I've got no problems with that. They do have a social life too.
 
Claude Puel has been talking about his relationship with Jamie Vardy

No. It did not cause my departure from Leicester. To be honest, I had a good relationship with Jamie (Vardy). You shouldn’t believe everything that you read or you hear. Jamie is an endearing guy, a very good player. Aside from that, there are moments where one might perform, where one might perform less, Jamie had some struggles at the beginning of the season. He was injured for a long time, he didn’t have much of a pre-season after the World Cup. He had some ground to make up, and he did so. He will continue to perform, now and in the future.”

Claude Puel’s downfall at Leicester City was partly caused by the language barrier, Papy Mendy has revealed.

Puel spoke decent English but according to midfielder and fellow Frenchman Mendy, the former boss occasionally struggled to explain his ideas.

That is no issue for new manager Rodgers, and Mendy believes there has been an immediate impact.

“The coach (Puel) spoke good English but some players were sometimes not sure what he wanted,” Mendy told L’Equipe.


Not good coming from a french player especially one of Puel’s players

Vardy obviously had a good enough relationship that he was comfortable enough to dress up as Spiderman to piss around in training.

That is all on Puel - should have sorted that issue straight away.

Raneiri's English was rather rubbish as well but he was able to get his point across - be it with translators or bribery with pizza.

If his fellow Frenchman couldn't understand him, it's not a surprise no one else had a clue!
 
Hmm, I have looked at this team and think that whilst they have a lot of talent, many of them see just unintelligent which explains some of the daft things they do on the pitch but also doesn’t surprise me that they wouldn’t be capable of understanding Puel whether that was accent related or just that he talked ****e. He should have known his audience and dumbed it down though
 
Brendan Rodgers has said Andy King could still have a future here. Puel aside every manager has liked Kingy and used him

Me personally I would keep him as a squad player
