In football we always say never rule anything out because it’s a funny game.” http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/07/03/john-terry-already-targeting-return-chelsea-manager-signing/ I suspect Bruce would just ask him if he is up for it, as a first stage. Terry will tell him straight if he thinks he still has the legs for the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Could Be Rotterdam Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 If Bruce isnt at the game on Sunday then Terrys leadership will be vital. If he wants to be a manager then Sunday will be a great test. Not that the coaches cant lead the team, but i see Terry as the one who will be giving the motivation. Be nice for him to experience a proper derby atmosphere too, none of the diluted London club rubbish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combined with the Coaches on the side you are right this will be a great test for JT if Bruce where not to be there Sunday. I feel all would keep it together and do well.

Think he will be a great manager. He could cut his teeth on our club, before he inevitably (sigh) goes off to manage Chelsea. I think it would be great if he stays on as an assistant.

dnmacf Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I understand he's studying for his coaching badges at present. I imagine that probably aids his understanding of the technical side of the game further. Although he's always been a player that has stood out for his natural understanding and reading of the game rather than any particularly dominant physical characteristics. I read a while back that Bayern Munich support players to gain coaching qualifications whilst still playing as they believe this furthers not only their career after the game, but also during. I believe Philipp Lahm was one example given - not a bad example right. I would wholeheartedly support JT beginning his coaching career at Villa although my head tells me he would be more likely to go to Chelsea. There's a chance they wouldn't have a role for him there however. I used to think he was a bit of a .... but I actually now hold quite a bit of admiration for the guy. Funny thing that... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I would be chuffed to see him stay on with us, in some capacity.....but i guess the lure of Chelsea is the stumbling block. I guess we will always be the bridesmaid, but , better to be a bridesmaid than one of the congregation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted February 10, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 10, 2018 As a footballer, he is genuinely one of the best English players of all time, and he’s without a doubt the best player in this league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the 2nd part absolutely. Would he make your top 10 all time English players? Off the top of my head you've got Gascoigne, Hoddle, Robson, Linekar, Shearer, Keegan, Owen, Shilton and maybe Beckham before you get to the '66 team.

DCJonah Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Got to be key tomorrow. It was already huge, its turned into a massive opportunity. You'd hope JT, chester and snodgrass can keep everyone composed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Imagine if he'd signed for them lot in the summer? You would take Terry into battle all day long. So pleased he signed for us and will be leading us out tomorrow. His 'big game' experience absolutely key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
