If it's family reasons we can't moan too much (but we will).
However: All the noises coming out of Norway were if he was offered the Villa job, he'd take it. Didn't his very own quotes to that newspaper say as much? But that it was all hypothetical, as he hadn't received an offer.
Now -when it appears we have actually offered him the gig, he says no. Setting aside my natural Villa bias, that is almost funny.
