A very sad piece of news, which will make tomorrow's city centre parade even more poignant. To be honest, he probably suspects that his body might not last the vigours of another title hunting season and medical advice tells him that he needs to lower the intensity. Hopefully he may return in a coaching role. It might persuade The General to stay another year unless Pep already has his replacement contractually secured. My gut feeling is that Merlin and Dinho may follow soon. Good luck Sir Vincent in your future endeavours.
