Read on BBC Football Gossip that Terry could be our next manager to take over from Bruce. Not sure if he's done any badges. Suppose this is a step towards managing Chelsea.


It doesn't work like that though does it? I remember everyone presuming one day Bryan Robson would manage United.

Which he almost certainly would've done, had he been successful.

I'm still hopeful on that one

The management rumour strikes me as bullshit. Suppose we had another bad start and Bruce is under severe pressure to go as early as October/November. Surely theres no way Terry could take over and do the job that soon even if his contract he was supposed to be the immediate successor? You thought O'Leary was unpopular, I cant imagine this unpleasant human being taking over as Villa boss.

My real concern about him - putting aside the man off the pitch for a moment - if SB almost designs a defensive system for him ... some suggestion of three centre halves partly to make up for the pace side of things  ... and he pulls up in the second game where does that leave us? 

Big gamble. One I hope pays off as I wouldn't mind paying big bucks even to this horrible individual to see us promoted... but then I sold my soul to the Villa many many years ago

The rumour may well be bullshit.  But it's not a stretch to see John Terry looking at Steve Bruce and thinking he is on a sticky wicket with a bad start.  Roy Keane might have had similar ideas when he agreed to be Lamberk's no 2.

He only has to go back 12 months and see how patient Xia was with his mate Bobby di Matteo for reference.

Exactly. I honestly thought the same with Keane/Lambert. There's no doubt Bruce is under pressure this season but talk of him being replaced by a new signing would certainly heap it on him even more.

£5 million (wages and bonuses) is such an absurd amount to potentially be a significant signing in staying in this turgid league or going back up to the Premiership.

I would sooner us pay £5m to never see Baker in a Villa shirt again, oaf who couldn't pass wind.

Get him signed.

A John Terry thread, that has ended up with arguments about Brexit. I'm not even surprised.

Yes, a serious question. The first part, anyway.

I don't live where you live, so I've no idea what your sentence means.

Also, as someone who regularly reads this page, I think it's more than clear that you want Villa to sign John Terry. It's your opinion, I don't think you need to be defending it with such rigourous passion. It's just non stop, and slightly monotonous.

When/if he signs, you can buy the shirt, get his name on the back and lift an imaginary Championship trophy in your living room.

That's what I'm talking about.
