Hmmmm that may not be as set in stone as we thought.


Yeah, I'm pretty sure he was just being overly emotional in that interview and his comments were more to do with bitter feelings about the persistent rumours around the 2010 World Cup, rather than any real intention to stay on. To be honest that interview kind of illustrates why he should move on. His emotional detachment has always been one of his strengths, but he seems to be losing it. I like Ricki enough, and respect what he's done enough, to not want to see him became a bitter old man who's a candidate for a heart attack.

He probably shouldn't have given that interview in the heat of the moment, that's for sure.

Anything's possible though I suppose.
