"We had several meetings. The club offers to stay for two or three years. On Wednesday morning, I received all the documents from my lawyer. I note that it is not easy to think about my future at my age. However, now the main thing is to decide what I want to do next. So far I see the reasons to resign. After all, I feel healthy and full of strength. True, there are times when I want to ask someone for help so that you have been replaced by a couple of years. I made a mistake back and said that I will leave my phrase now: I, of course, will leave, but not now.
