To wonder why Rebecca Vardy is chief WAG when her husband isn't even playing?

It seems to me the sucess of the England team so far is that the players egos aren't put before their place in the team.

They are a young, proud team doing their best for their country.

Why then is Rebecca Vardy the WAG in chief when her bloke isn't even playing?

LuluJakey no could be about it. She is really nasty and was horrible on IAC, then when she realised she'd been accused of bullying Ian Lee she went and sought out his wife, stared her out with her cold dead eyes and said something along the lines of 'I want you know I am not a bully and I did not bully him". We all saw the horrible cow do it!

She's been shagging celebrities since she was a teenager and even did a kiss and tell on Peter Andre (I mean how desperate?!). I imagine she'll soon find another millionaire to leech off when she gets bored of Jamie.

she's the only WAG posting photos of private jets and horse faced selfies with her new veneers. The rest seem a fairly private bunch, to be fair to them.

Totally agree hyacinth

The rest of the Wags are letting their partners do the talking; Pickard was fucking amazing.

Yet someone whose partner isn't even playing, finds it appropriate to hog the limelight.

Just because you and me don't class it as work in the same way most people do, it is available for her to be paid for. There are lots of jobs that non famous people wouldn't necessarily class as work but they are doing a task for money so it's 'working' to them.

A lot of people married to celebs make money because of who they are married to. There's a demand for them by celeb magazines, reality shows etc whether we like it or not. I still don't think she's really harming anyone.

VB's "career" is heavily financed by her DH.

That's why she puts up with his crap.

Ah,but the mn mantra is family money,when you’re a family you share
According to mn logic

Toodamnhot · 07/07/2018 22:41

She is a queen bee type and it is probably best if you are on the right side of her. She was very unpleasant on I’m a celebrity, a bully who gets her way.

bearbehind · 07/07/2018 22:41

'Family money' and 'marrying for money' are not the same thing.

Vic Beckham has hung off his coattails since day one

Famous in her own right indeed!! She was just a spice girl

AlphaBravo · 07/07/2018 22:44

With the upbringing she had, she can do what the hell she wants. Poor cow, growing up with a childhood like that.

I didn't know she had been accused of bullying. That's obviously not ok if she did.

And not a fan of kiss and tell gossip either.

AlphaBravo · 07/07/2018 22:45

@bearbehind who the fuck is Pickard?! 😂

Pickford, was wonderful, however.

LipstickHandbagCoffee · 07/07/2018 22:46

Vic beckham was way more prosperous than david when they got together
She was in the ascendancy as a spice girl, he was on up at Man U
So actually he benefited from her fame,her notoriety

iknowimcoming · 07/07/2018 22:47

Perfectly - I agree to an extent re exes, however some of the stuff I know about her which is fact rather than hearsay, would lead me to say if you're pals with her in real life be careful, particularly if your husband is more handsome/rich/successful than hers .....

bearbehind · 07/07/2018 22:47

run your argument makes no sense.

You dismiss VB but can't name another Wag.

I can't stand VB but she was famous when she met DB, even if she now lives off Team Beckham.

Rebecca Vardy has done nothing as far as I can see.

And continues to live off her husbands infamy even though he's not even playing.

Fair enough. Smile

ManicUnicorn · 07/07/2018 22:53

Comparing her to VB is ridiculous. Whatever you think of VB she had her own career, in fact she just happened to be one of the most famous people in the world when she met and subsequently married David. He became the bigger star over time, but people forget that she was a Spice Girl and he was only an up and coming young player.

LipstickHandbagCoffee · 07/07/2018 22:54

Yup,at time VB and DB met she was more a celeb.he was on up.but she was stellar

RunMummyRun68 · 07/07/2018 22:55

I said the whole cast of housewives of cheshire.... Tanya,Dawn ward, Leanne.... ALL WAGS....third time saying it. And they are far far worse than Becky Vardy!!

So I can name some actuallySmile

SemperIdem · 07/07/2018 22:56

Rebecca Vardy seems a single minded sort.

I find it irritating that Victoria Beckham is disparaged as “riding on David’s coattails”. She was far more well known that David when they met, and is widely considered to be the mastermind behind “brand Beckham”. How different media perception, and therefore public,would be if she just played ball and grinned inanely all the time.

LipstickHandbagCoffee · 07/07/2018 22:57

Indeed,Victoria Beckham is an astute businesswoman
She’s on no one coat tails

arethereanyleftatall · 07/07/2018 22:59

Never heard of her.

MorningsEleven · 07/07/2018 23:01

did a kiss and tell on Peter Andre

She's a professional barrel-scraper.

SingingTunelessly · 07/07/2018 23:03

Agree about VB being successful before marrying DB. It just seems a bit sad that she now seems the desperate one hanging on to that cheating scumbag and people forget easily. He was a footballer who wasn’t even that great when the chips were down (petulant kick anyone?).

twattymctwatterson · 07/07/2018 23:04

It's the people who seem to know so much about this woman and others like her that are actually keeping her in a job.

SemperIdem · 07/07/2018 23:12

Victoria Beckham, for all her money, doesn’t strike me as a confident woman. I read her autobiography when I was in my teens, she’s a relatable person in her experiences and insecurities. Whereas her husband has more than enough confidence —arrogance— for two. He grins inanely at all times so the media and public love him.
