AvfcRigo82 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Just now, villarocker said: Is there any chance John Terry could manage us through to the end of this season on a caretaker basis? With the comments from Bruce in the press about what a great example he sets and how he'd make a great manager etc maybe the board will give him a shout as player manager? Cheaper option plus see what he is made of to see if they can fast track him into his first managerial role? Only once our promotion hopes are ended on all levels he may be worth letting have a crack at it perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 He's recently been training with top players and coaches so will have a clear knowledge of training methods from last season's Premier League winning club.Maybe he would change our coaches and training methods?

I see where you are at with the notion of this suggestion, for me all it would be like is someone who has just lumbered a roulette machine with everything and lost it, -this move/suggestion would be like throwing in the last of your change in a hope you claw it all back, but reality it is chasing and could land up losing everything altogether and come away with nothing.

Well its a thought or alternative thats all, not a "set in tablets of stone"statement. funny how Alex Neil has turned Preston fortunes around since he has his better players back from injury. Its fine thinking you know the answer, bully for you.....but be ready to have those theories tested at times, with a bit more humility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've already lost everything though. We will not get promoted under Bruce. Even if we make the play offs (which I don't think we will anyway) we will not get through them. Giving Terry a go at least buys us a Lottery ticket and in the summer we can get a new permanent manager at the best time to do so. Or maybe Terry will be a good manager and totally transform the team. That's why I feel it's no lose. Edited December 30, 2017 by sidcow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 The bit that I don't quite understand is how can some fresh faces from the academy be any worse than seasoned pro's who look like they have an error in them due to the slow laboured approach from their play. surely its no more of a risk.....even 45 minutes, if he feels they can't last 90 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre Green, Jack Doyle-Hayes, Callum O'Hare & Rushan Hepburn Murphy (Davis) too. All would serve food for thought, we need a manager that has the ability of thought! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Bruce has said we are down to our bare bones today with Whelan and Davis out ill. So just our keeper from Man U, our captain last year, our £8m defender, one of our best players last year, one of the best CMs in the league last year, England u21 regular, our top goalscorer, one of the best wingers in the league and our £15m striker. Poor Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
