It's not very often people actually want to leave Aston Villa. And that a great testament to the club. I know but Lampard started off at Derby. If he wants to tick over at villa fair enough. But there seems enough decent jobs out there at the mo - Watford, Bristol C, Bournemouth.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since then has been wrong on this and on Belotti last summer. I think he got lucky by the looks of it!! He also said Watkins done by mid next week, but I think any of us could say that at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not very often people actually want to leave Aston Villa. And that a great testament to the club. Not sure job security matters to JT. As an elite footballer in the era of massive salaries, he's been set up for life financially. Whatever he does from now on will be driven by personal ambition. I suspect he won't be able to resist leaving Villa at some point, but if he's sensible he'll stick around for a while. Lots of valuable lessons to be learnt watching a team progress from mid-table in the Championship to hopefully being a stable mid table / top 10 team in the PL. My sense is on match days, Smith defers more to Terry than he does to O'Kelly, but he rates O'Kelly more on the training ground. Could well be wrong, but just a hunch from watching how they all interact. Will be interesting to see how the balance shifts with Shakespeare involved. It's definitely a possibility that Terry leaves this summer, but IMO he'd benefit from one more season of watching things develop at Villa. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HongKongVillan Posted August 9, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted August 9, 2020 With all the talks of him being a manager to a championship team, now with Lampard's Chelsea being finished for the season, i wonder if there will be any temptation of them trying to get JT as part of their backroom staff, especially all the talks of getting their defence sorted (obviously no one knows whether JT was responsible for our defence this season) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 This has been key for most clubs I imagine and no doubt it took longer for some clubs than others to get with the times. Quote We often hear about the Roman revolution of 2003, where Abramovich’s spending elevated an ascending Chelsea into a European power. But long before that there was another whole stage of growth, which saw the Blues go from no-hopers into a modern club. After coming through the youth team, where players would tuck in to burgers and chips and not think much about their bodies beyond the end of a training session, he was there when three Italian players who changed the way the club thought about the game outside the pitch: “We were lucky at Chelsea because we signed Zola, Gullit and Vialli and they turned up at the training ground and said, ‘where’s the food, where’s the protein? We need a bigger gym, we need to stretch more’. “They took it to another level and I was really lucky to be around those players at that stage of my career.” https://www.chelsea-news.co/2020/09/john-terry-explained-three-foreign-signings-took-chelsea-another-level/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
