The whole situation will increase followers, media clicks, and media mentions etc. They will profit far more than the court costs now and in the future. They both struggle with media retention, particularly Vardy, because they are pretty dull and this is just great news for them all round.
All the while everyone loves to talk about what they're arguing about which is effectively nothing at all, but people just keep lapping the nothingness up.
Are we becoming a country full of slippery liars? Boris just lies, and smirks when they playback video proof of his lies. Here we have a court case where people can swear under oath that phones are at the bottom of the sea, laptops are broken, and passwords have been forgotten, in order to conceal evidence. It is embarrassing.
Where DID Rebekah Vardy go when she left the courtroom? To punch a wall at her utter stupidity in bringing this case? JANE FRYER watches the Wagatha Christie drama unfold
JANE FRYER: Mrs Justice Steyn (main with Coleen Rooney in court) would surely be forgiven if she'd spent the weekend wallowing in a stack of Halsbury's Statutes, yearning to wrestle once again with a juicy Saudi arms deal or a tricky case about Guantanamo Bay inmates and trying to blank out anything and everything Wag. But most of us are quite happy to have the extraordinary events of last week seared forever onto our brains. Everything from the car crash of Rebekah Vardy's (right, outside court) evidence (and several of her court outfits) to the restrained air-casted, Gucci-garnished dignity of Coleen. The precise proportions of Peter Andre's teeny acorn; the ups and downs in the Rooney (inset left Coleen and husband Wayne seen leaving court in good spirits) marriage. And the agony writ large across Wayne's big pink face as he slouched, suddenly loyal as a lurcher, beside his surprisingly diminutive wife.
'We can sit where we like, **** off': FA official was nearly 'in tears' after finding Rebekah Vardy's friends in her reserved seats at Euro 2016 game - when WAG moved places to 'maximise her media attention', Wagatha Christie trial hears
Former FA family liaison officer, Harpreet Robertson, told how Rebekah ditched her allocated seats so she could sit behind Coleen Rooney for the clash between England and Wales. The court had previously heard Rebekah sat behind Coleen to 'maximise media attention' and it led to 'a commotion' with members of Rebekah's party and ended up causing security concerns. Mrs Robertson dismissed Rebekah's claims that she ended up sitting behind Coleen because the WAG had taken her seats and she 'didn't want to make a fuss'.
Vardys take a POUNDING in £3m Wagatha Christie war: Coleen Rooney's lawyer accuses rival WAG of 'lying on oath' and 'DELETING evidence'... before turning his guns on her husband Jamie for refusing to appear in court then issuing PR statement
Celebrity lawyer David Sherborne claimed Mrs Vardy's case 'disintegrated' during the week-long trial in an eviscerating attack on the wife of Premier League footballer Jamie Vardy at the Royal Courts of Justice. Mr Vardy also came in for criticism, with Mr Sherborne suggesting he was deliberately not called as a witness to avoid giving evidence under oath. Instead he gave a statement outside accusing Wayne Rooney of talking 'nonsense' about his wife. He said that Mrs Vardy's case had 'almost entirely disintegrated' over the course of the trial, which entered its seventh day. He added: 'Anyone could be forgiven for wondering how on earth this case has been allowed to get this far. She [Coleen] finds herself at the end of a seven-day libel trial, and for what?' Referring to the 'disappearance' of the WhatsApp messages between Rebekah and her agent and publicist Caroline Watt, Mr Sherborne said her explanation that the loss happened during export to her solicitors was 'impossible.' The fact Ms Watt's phone was 'dropped in the north sea' during a trip to Scotland was 'fishy enough', Mr Sherborne said. 'There is only one conclusion and that is that Mrs Vardy deleted the WhatsApp chat and it was a deliberate lie to cover up her wrongdoing. There is no other plausible explanation. The only conclusion the court can reach is that she deleted the WhatsApp chat and then lied under oath about it', he told Mrs Justice Steyn. It came as MailOnline revealed that Coleen and Wayne Rooney have gone on their summer holidays with their four sons rather than head to the High Court for the crescendo of the ' Wagatha Christie ' libel trial. A source told MailOnline: 'It's been a long and gruelling process for both Wayne and Coleen and they didn't want to disappoint their children.'
DAN WOOTTON: I understand Rebekah Vardy's frustration but watching the Wagatha Christie courtroom catastrophe has convinced me she made the biggest mistake of her life by legally pursuing Coleen Rooney
DAN WOOTTON: What a personal and professional disaster Wagatha Christie has been. Thanks to Britain's ridiculous libel laws, the burden lies on Coleen to establish on a balance of probabilities that her bombshell Instagram post is substantially true, something that's very difficult to do. But, regardless of the judge's verdict, for pursuing this futile, selfish and unwise legal action through the courts, I'm sad to admit it's the Vardys who will suffer the bigger reputational consequences.
They think it's all over... it is for now! Rebekah Vardy and Coleen Rooney's £3M Wagatha Christie libel war concludes after seven days, 20 court sketches and thousands of social media asides as warring WAGs are left with WEEKS to wait for judge's ruling
After seven days of testimony and dozens of court sketches in a libel trial that has captivated the nation, Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy face waiting weeks for the ruling.
Rebekah Vardy BLAMES agent for press leaks: WAG's QC says her 'biggest mistake' was 'trusting' aide who lost mobile in 'Davy Jones' locker'... but insists Coleen Rooney's Wagatha Christie 'theory is misconceived'
Mrs Vardy's barrister Hugh Tomlinson QC said that his client is a victim - and now accepts the possibility that her friend and former agent Caroline Watt may have been the source of the leaks
Never mind who wins, which COURT SKETCH came out on top? Digital doodle of duelling barristers is latest image from Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy's £3M Wagatha Christie war to take Twitter by storm... but which one is YOUR favourite?
From shocking revelations to catty exchanges and floods of tears, the battle between the two women has dominated the headlines and taken over social media.
Jamie Vardy is blasted by Coleen Rooney's lawyer for REFUSING to give evidence in £3M Wagatha Christie libel trial... but being 'perfectly willing' to issue PR statement attacking Wayne Rooney OUTSIDE court
Celebrity lawyer David Sherborne claimed Mrs Vardy's case had 'disintegrated' during the week-long trial in an eviscerating attack on the wife of Premier League footballer Jamie.
The Wagatha Christie files in full: Coleen Rooney's Instagram 'pyjama post' of Wayne Rooney at centre of £3M case and ALL the images used in 'sting' are released by court... plus Rebekah Vardy's foul-mouthed texts to husband Jamie
Today the lawyers for both sides agreed to release this fascinating bundle of hundreds of documents which have formed the evidence throughout the seven-day case at the High Court. As the judge, Mrs. Justice Steyn, considers the evidence for both sides and weighs up whether or not Rebekah was libelled and should receive damages from Coleen for her bombshell social media accusation, we can now reveal for the first time many of the Instagram posts (pictured left, centre and right) and WhatsApp messages which the lawyers have been poring over for the last two and a half years. Top of the bill is the famous but never published photo from Coleen's private Instagram account showing Wayne in bed with three of his sons in spotted pyjamas. Coleen told the court that she only posted the image including weighing on her private account because she did not want to fuel stories about Wayne reuniting with his wife after the couple's marriage faltered when he was caught drink driving in another woman's car. On her public Instagram account Coleen only posted a photo of herself with her then three sons Kai, Klay and Kit, wearing matching pyjamas. But she was angered a few days later, when a story appeared in The Sun clearly based on the private image. Coleen then posted to her followers: 'The GRASS strikes again!!!! I put that picture on wondering if it would appear in that horrible newspaper you're accepted as one of my friends.' The lawyers for both sides agreed to release this fascinating bundle of hundreds of documents which have formed the evidence throughout the seven-day case at the High Court.

“Thought it might go to penalties,” the former England player tweeted with regards to the verdict.
“Vardy scores rare own goal,” he added in a subsequent tweet.
