I agree. I don't think there's any conspiracy behind his leaving. As you say, just looking at pictures he looks increasingly exhausted. And I can't see him going anywhere other than back to Barcelona. I certainly don't think he'd be tempted by Chelsea. Although I also think he'd be a big risk for another big team. Nobody could deny his success but he had that with a team he largely inherited from the academy rather than built, and we know he isn't great with pressure.
Wigan's up-turn is just weird to me. They're just lucky it came in time to save their season.
