Leicester City and Rangers fans are growing increasingly weary over a transfer saga that just won't end. Foxes centre back Conor Coady was said to be set to switch to Ibrox following weeks of speculation. The ex-England player has also been trying to seemingly sell himself to whichever club wants him since January and probably before. And the Foxes' Blue Army support noticed and read about the St Helens-born footballer's antics; which have been taken as disrespectful by some, including myself.
Though the 32-year-old's move north, way north, may now be off. Obviously the update doesn't bode well for the Gers, whose fan base did appear to be strangely keen on the overpraised defender. More importantly and worryingly for City supporters - the latest could mean the overrated and ageing coady could stay at King Power Stadium. Now Scottish Sun Sport have speculated over the long-running courtship of Coady. But why is this now a potential non-starter for the Light Blues?
Foxes and Gers supporters grow weary of protracted proposed deal
You can't blame either support for getting fed up with this one. Evidently (see tweets below), the City faithful doesn't particularly want the well-paid Coady on their books. We see better options around and even in-house.
Coady 🤮

One of those with Coady. If he's gonna earn his wages, then fair play. If not, he can go.

Annoyed me last year, talks the talk (mostly online...) but then was awful in some of those games.
As crazy as it may sound

If we don’t sign a single player (exluding back up GK) but get rid of Coady/Faes/Soumare/JJ etc that’ll be a decent window
Last thing we need is panic deadline day signings like Eduoard again. Sooner not sign anyone #LCFC🦊
Meanwhile Rangers followers appeared to want the CB on their roster. Although, the timing is bad: the Ibrox outfit wanted the ex-Everton and Wolverhampton Wanderers star on the team for the Champions League Second Round Qualification meeting with Panathinaikos later on today.
Clearly that didn't happen; the man in question is with Leicester at their Austrian training camp. Now it is claimed that RFC fans are 'losing patience' with the Coady chronicles.
Conor Coady's Rangers transfer may be off
According to the Scots outlet, new City head coach Marti Cifuentes might want to retain Coady. The longer this goes on, they say, the less chance of an agreement.
Could Rangers' move for Conor Coady be off? 👀
