Nine years after creating one of the most marvellous miracles in the history of football and winning the Premier League, Leicester City have been relegated for the second time in the past two years.However, one man was there in both good and bad times, never forgetting the club that gave him a chance when no one else did and which helped him become what he is today – Jamie Vardy.Hence, it’s no wonder the Foxes’ captain took another downgrade to the Championship pretty badly, feeling personally obliged to apologize to the fans.Jamie Vardy released a brutal statement on Leicester City’s relegation from the Premier League 🤬💥🦊 pic.twitter.com/04PPA9mNOg— OneFootball (@OneFootball) April 22, 2025 In a message posted on his social media, Vardy was pretty harsh on himself and his teammates, claiming that “there are no excuses” and calling the season a “total embarrassment.””At this point, I don’t even know what to say. No words I have can ever express my feelings of anger and sadness with the way this season has gone. There are no excuses. Collectively, as players and as a club, we failed. There is simply no hiding, and I refuse to entertain any suggestion of doing so Having been at this club for so long, we’ve experienced so many highs and successes – and this season has been nothing but miserable and for me personally, a total embarrassment. It hurts, and I know you’re feeling it too.”Football needs players like himThe last paragraph of the striker’s post had a “To the fans” introduction.”I’m sorry. Sorry we haven’t performed, and sorry we end the 2025 season with such a s*** show.”Vardy’s contract with Leicester expires in June, though sources from England state the Foxes’ boss, Ruud van Nistelrooy, will almost certainly keep the captain for at least one more season.PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 34TuesdayMan.City – Aston Villa 2-1 (1-1)/Silva 7, Nunes 90+4 – Rashford 18 pen/Wednesday22:00: (1.42) Arsenal (4.40) Crystal Palace (8.00)Saturday14:30: (1.63) Chelsea (3.80) Everton (5.70)17:00: (1.67) Brighton (4.20) West Ham (5.00)17:00: (1.20) Newcastle (6.75) Ipswich (14.0)17:00: (5.00) Southampton (4.20) Fulham (1.65)17:00: (1.62) Wolverhampton (3.80) Leicester (5.80)SundaySun 16:00: (1.70) Bournemouth (4.20) Man.Utd.
