Tbh Terry strikes me as a bit of a yes man. Also he must do the most Instagram posts of any football coach ever.

I don't think he is. He also isn't the boss and is learning the trade so sometimes you have to agree with the top dog.

To be fair not many coaches have 4.4m followers. Aston Villa football club have 272k followers.

A yes man who allegedly got a number of his managers the sack by going above their head.

Think it was only AVB but he totally alienated all the players and was paranoid to the point he even tried to ban the players from talking to Mourinhio on their mobiles ... 

i cant recall the manager now as there have been so many but the morning after one of them got sacked , Terry walked up to all the directors having breakfast and called them a bunch of words removed 

so probably not 100% a yes man :)

He should be a yes man. He’s job is to assist Smith, not tell him what to do. 

Couldn't disagree more. Further, I don't think this is what Dean would even want.

I’m sure he offers his ideas and suggestions but ultimately Smith will make the decisions. 

I don’t even know what a yes man means for an assistant or why the original poster thinks he is one.

Hause said at the weekend that JT is helping him out with his positional sense playing on the wrong side. On insta, Mings has put a coaching drill up run by JT saying how he’s still learning. It’s good to see that his coaching is going well, and the defence is improving.

John Terry strikes me as a guy who's totally in love with football. He's becoming a more assertive coach as he gains confidence in his role, and surely the players benefit from rubbing shoulders with a footballing icon on a daily basis. 

He will move onwards and upwards imo, so let's enjoy the part he's playing in improving Villa while he's here.

For this reason, having him here improves our profile. Huge name in the game and loads of Chelsea, England and Terry fans around the world are now very much exposed to Villa. That has to be a good thing. 

I think it would be a sad day when he leaves because, despite his past errors, he is a model pro and has that passion for the game and the drive to win that football fans love. I’d love it if we could get promoted whilst he is here (and thankfully I think we will as I’m certain we are going up this year).

Am pretty sure all the Coaches support one an other, they all have an area of expertise. The way Smith made it sound is that any of the other Coaches can challange him on anything if they feel they are right.

It does sound as though being a manager is becoming a thing of the past, that Coaching is the way forward. Seem more and more clubs are taking teams of Coaches on, there's no one man then to take the full blame, they all share responsibility and can have more eyes on a problem and think it out as a group.

Coaching sounds alot different to a managers role where they are not top dog and everyone has to say yes sir.

I think the job has evolved and so much more detail to focus on....coaches are more dedicated to the training ground and stick to what they know best.....transfers and recruitment is left to the money men after the managers recommendations.

i guess its like lawyers and doctors, who once did it all, but now it has to be specialists to focus on the detail.....GP's and solicitors do the general stuff.

What happened to the conspiracys? Disappeared with our winning streak? 

If we're doing badly, everybody at the club is doing a terrible job.

If we're doing well they're all doing a great job.

 

This is how it works.
