"He doesnt always have an easy time with the fans, but I have seen a very different man to that image," Petrov told the Mirror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I'm not really sure John Terry is any worse of a person than the majority of rich footballers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Bruce does start badly then the new manager will be someone who can turn the ship around and make sure that we qualify for the playoffs at least. I can't imagine any scenario where our next manager would be someone who has zero management experience. Me too. I can't see any scenario in which AVFC would employ a complete cockwomble as manager. Oh wait................. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I think this is all being driven by a necessity to change the culture in and around the club, if he can change that then the guy's a miracle worker frankly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Maybe when DrT had his parting words with RDM, he asked him "So who was it that lead Chelsea to the CL win?" Maybe RDM's answer was "John Terry" so the contingency plan B is already in place if (when) Bruce fails to deliver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mjmooney Posted June 22, 2017 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2017 Can't say I'm a big fan of JT, but I'd be in favour of this signing, simply because it shows intent, and is likely to attract other players to the club. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Would be a massive statement and also quite exciting regarding what we could expect when we get back in the top flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 We are currently a championship team with a soft underbelly. I find it staggering that some are turning their noses up to John Terry. The comparisons to Lescott are also a bit silly imo. If the figures are true, Terry could almost certainly earn much more elsewhere. The bloke is a tosser, but he is also a winner so a potential promotion push is probably what appeals to him. He would be coming here for football reasons rather than financial reasons, he could prove to be a fantastic signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time he played last season he was a liability. He was on his heels and slow to react. Looked well of the pace no where near the Terry of old. It remains to be seen if the drop of divisions and quality in opponents is enough to offset his decline in quality. Hopefully it does because as you say he has qualities we do lack and need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could not agree more- I don't like the man and would not cross the road to shake his hand - however I think he will be a fantastic signing for the club, his experience, knowledge and desire to succeed could prove invaluable imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne bridge is a big boy, he can look after himself. I have been married for over 40 years and nicked her off a bloke in a night club.....it happens. You cannot succeed at this game and be mammby pammby. Remember......Andy Lochhead- Shaun Teale-George Curtis- Stan Lynn-Eamonn Deacy-Steve McMahon You need steel as well as the guile.
