useless Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 The rumour is that John Gregory is going to be Rooney's assistant. Being bottom of the table I would have thought they'd be going for someone with more experience than Terry or Rooney, especially with the new owners.

Better off having Gregory as the manager and Rooney as the assistant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregory has been out of football at this level though for a long time. God knows how that will turn out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has hardly managed for years and I fail to see how he has any relationship with Rooney off the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised if he chose the 'easier' route. He was such a competitor throughout his career and has often spoken about wanting to manage himself. I think this will be his last season, and he's been a thoroughly great addition (so thanks Bruce). I really credit him (along with Jedinak, Whelan, Chester) with helping instil a better culture in that dressing room. It was rotten, even under Di Matteo. I'll wish him the best in his next opportunity when he does go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 A big testament to Dean Smith that Terry has stayed here as long as he has, and will be an even bigger statement if he doesnt take up a role someone else when rumours start linking him with jobs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah not for me If it is true then he should have done more about it at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyjavfc Posted November 17, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 17, 2020 Carlton Cole may be telling the truth or may be full of it, but I do think that most clubs would think twice before appointing Terry as manager. His murky racism accusation would definitely generate negative headlines and coverage in this age of BLM, taking the knee and the FA diversity code. I know he has held the coaching role at villa without any issues, but there is a different level of scrutiny and expectation in the top job...as Greg Clarke found our recently. I notice Malkay Mackay has struggled for work recently...I wonder if that is the same issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 BBC are showing a documentary next week on Anton Ferdinand and racism in football. I think Terry will be centre stage of a media storm for the weekend. Apparently he turned down the opportunity to be in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WallisFrizz Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I’ve just read an article about the tv doc. Apparently Ferdinand said he didn’t want the doc to centre around him vs Terry but given JTs profile in the game I think it is inevitable. I wonder how the black Villa players feel about it, particularly Mings who has been (quite rightly) very vocal about racism issues and went on the BLM March. If Derby were looking at hiring him, would it put them off? It’s also not great for us given the announcement yesterday that we top the table for reports of fan abuse, albeit 13 incidents. It maybe an uncomfortable few days at BMH. Or may be not, maybe he’ll just ride out the storm and move on again. Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll all be playing at the same time as it's aired so that's one way of Terry at least avoiding it. IIRC FA found him guility but the court case didn't.
