Row D Seat 7 0 Posted August 16, 2009 I would think he would stay longer than a year. He wouldnt get the job if he just said im retiring in a year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaker 0 Posted August 17, 2009 Surely if he''s told you this then its a statment of intent, not a rumour. You must be a very trusted friend for him to have told you this imformation! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so this makes this more plausable. He has cited pressure of jobs before as a reason for this and only stayed very briefl 1-2 months at Man City for this very reason. As such I would happily accept him on this premise as he is a man of such strong integrity that I believe the contract length is largely irrelevant as he will stay so long as his health allows. After all, what does a contract length matter anyway, at least we have less to pay off! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
