Anybody else think that Vidic has been given vice-captaincy as a stip in his new contract?
Crossed my mind, however I think it was more a reward. It's also important to develop other leaders - Giggsy and Nev aren't spring chickens and Rio has hardly been fit in the last 8 to 10 months.
He's also captain of his country (well was against us) and leads my example so I think Vida is an excellent choice.
