I woke up this morning, and for the first time in years i had a long lie in. It was the first day of my retirement and i felt like there was now a big hole in my life, I went out into the back garden with the kid, which i had never been able to do when I was playing, and that played a huge part in my retirement plans, more time with the wife and kids. I'll b able to teach Arron how to play football and cant wait. Hopefully ill be able to get back into football one day but not for another two or three years!
Next Day
I just got an unexpected phonecall, from a man named David Rae, chairman of Queen of the South, He just offered me the managers job at Palmerston Park, too all my blog readers, you are the only ones that know and i ask of you not to tell any of the press as i haven't made my mind yet and cant be bothered answering all of those low lifes questions. I dont even know anything about the club apart from they are in the First Division in Scotland which as far as im aware a very low standard of league but may be a good way to start a managerial career that i want to start sooner rather than later.
