Twitter went a bit mental last night with all this so definitely seemed like something was happening. He has always talked staying as long as his health held up but with him needing a hip operation it would of been too much at his age. He has earned his retirement! Really weird for me as well, since I started watching football he has been their manager so going to be really weird seeing someone else take charge
Credit to the guy though, what has achieved and the way he has built that club up is something which we will possibly never see again. A lot of other managers have tried to topple him but everyone has failed, I reckon he might of gone last season had Man City not won the league but with his character he wasn't going to leave on a low note or talk of his empire crumbling! Can't say I liked the guy but always had a lot of respect for what he has achieved.
