Hey Guys....I'm afraid this decision had nothing to do with the VPP situation or the 'Sit-Out'; it was quite simply that I didn't want to renew my contract which expired 31st December. There was also no Tweet to this effect. All very self-centred to be honest.

Love the idea of being 'Tribune of the people' but sadly this is not the case.
