Coleen and Becky’s trial is a waste of time – they should just sort it out over a glass of fizz says Lizzie Cundy

LET’S be honest, what a monumental waste of money this trial is . . . in the same week Bowelbabe Deborah James has raised more than £6million for Cancer Research UK.

A tweet which says the Rooneys and Vardys should quit now and donate all the money they would have spent in legal proceedings to her fund has gone viral. And rightly so.

Since this soap opera began there has been a global pandemic, a war in Ukraine and a cost-of-living crisis.

But yet it continues – giving all Wags a bad name.

Before getting this far, both parties should have stopped and thought: What would Victoria Beckham do?

She has had her own trials and tribulations but Posh has always kept her dignity.

This court case, however, has become a theatrical performance – about who can play their part best.

There’s the bitchiness, the sniggers and the sly jeers.

I mean, come on girls, this is schoolgirl pettiness.

I can’t say for sure what the driving force behind the battle is – jealousy, a fight over hierarchy, or Rebekah trying to claw back some pride?

Maybe her reputation means more to her than any amount of money.

With husband Jamie earning more than £7million a year, I guess these days money literally means nothing to Premier League footballers and their wives.

Waste of time

One meme says that if they weren’t so rich, the issue would be solved over a drunken row outside Wetherspoons – and that about sums it up.

Maybe these days these top-flight footballing families have more money than sense.

When I was married to former footballer Jason Cundy, my fellow Wags all had jobs of their own and we looked out for each other.

And if we did have differences, it would be solved over a glass of fizz and a bowl of nuts.

This case has divided the football community. I can’t name names, but I know more people supporting one side than the other.

I understand that Rebecca wanted to clear her name – she doesn’t want to be seen as a mole – but is having your personal life out in the open worth this?

For a woman, particularly among her friends, reputation, credibility and truth are extremely important and this is no different in the Wag circle.

But there are far better ways to solve an argument.

This is a waste of time and resources and the only winners will be the lawyers.

Football is meant to be a beautiful game, it’s time the ref blew the final whistle on this match.
