Tomaszk Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 My worry isn't with Terry leaving, it's that he takes our best young first-team coaches with him. The lads you see warming the side up before every match and who will be doing a large part of drills in the week. Going off to be an assistant manager and sole first-team coach will be a big step up for them. And a loss for us. Gerrard did exactly that with Rangers bringing a load of good coaches with him from Liverpool's youth team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That needs time and patience, not being thrown in to the lions den for promotion. this is the problem, the average manager span has cut drastically in recent times. Dean is currently the 8th longest serving Premier League manager and he has been here less than 2 and a half years. If we were in the Championship he would be the 6th longest serving manager Is no time for managers now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QldVilla Posted February 13, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 13, 2021 Terry is going to learn more exactly where he is and the opportunities that will come with remaining at Villa. He’s only 2.5 years into coaching, far too many rush their apprenticeship and get found out. Some will say he would want the Chelsea job some day, but personally think it would be a big noose around his neck. Can see him being the Villa manager one day, but he still has a lot to learn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrard did exactly that with Rangers bringing a load of good coaches with him from Liverpool's youth team. On the flip side (considering the money Terry is probably on) I think we'd be able to replace him with a really quality young coach. I like what Brentford did with Frank, getting in someone with a few years managerial experience who is happy to grow as part of a team and can step into the job if needed after a while. He has really helped the mentality of the players, but I don't think that would suddenly disappear with him leaving. Our young coaches would be mad to follow Terry to a championship job unless they are the 1 he picks as his assistant. For the others they are working at a club on the up with Terry likely to leave in the next few years and ROK approaching retirement leaving spaces on the senior coaching team.

Be odd to see a Liverpool legend at Rangers and a Chelsea legend at Celtic though. Christ. Celtic would be a worse move than Bournemouth. The way that the club has been ran over the last few years is shambolic. They’ve only won the league by default as Rangers had to start all over again. Rangers will win the SPL for the next 2 seasons easy because Celtic will have to overhaul how they do things. It will be more than that if Celtic don’t get their act together.

Zhan_Zhuang Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I'd be amazed if Celtic had Terry managing their club, he's the wrong nationality. That's how they think unfortunately! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always got the impression from the scottish people that I met that they were fairly welcoming. Come to think of it now, I mainly chatted to them about rugby although there was one guy who was a Dundee (not United) fan. Maybe the old firm football fans are a different breed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I think this would be a dreadful first job for him, really. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/john-terry-sheffield-united-radar-23846896 Quote John Terry has emerged as a contender for the vacant Sheffield United manager’s job. The Blades are searching for a high-profile boss after parting company with Chris Wilder last month. And former Chelsea and England captain Terry, who has made no secret of his desire to move into management, is on their radar. The 40-year-old joined Dean Smith’s backroom team at Aston Villa in October 2018 and helped them win promotion from the Championship that season via the play-offs. The experience he gained then appeals to Bramall Lane bigwigs, who want to push for an immediate return to the Premier League next season with the club on the brink of relegation from the top flight this time out.

cheltenham_villa Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 i suspect he will look to move on in the summer. Fair play to him, taking to years to just learn and study. Imagine the experience he gained last year and then also getting to be part of a team trying to imporve and progress. Hes got to work with someone like Grealish at the top of his game, hes got to work with a back 4 that needed to be stablilised. All without the intense pressure that being the main man brings. I wish more players would do the same, Lampard would i think have benefitted hugely with a similar approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rinse and repeat until it's time to become a TV pundit. Lovely jubbly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
