I'm getting the sense that all sralex's ex-players that go into management try to emulate him by simply not getting involved with the nuts and bolts of training, whilst not having any Idea of what it actually was that he could do that made him so successful. They don't know cos they never saw it, how could they, he was rarely at training, they just have a stab at what they reckon it was.

So if Round's researching new players and Calderwood's taking training, WTF does he do?

Makes a right mess of the post match press conference.

And Terry is instilling the professionalism and attitude needed, don't forget that.

I don't understand how a manager can do his job effectively without spending significant time at the Training Ground with the players.
Maybe not every day but most days.
The first thing is what do the players think if the Manager can't be bothered to turn up?
I don't know how common this is at Villa but would be concerned if true.

That's why they is a large team of coaches. Bruce likely doesn't have time to be on the training pitch all day everyday with running a team. He likely has meetings with the executives, medical team, scouts, coaches, planning schedules, reviewing opposition videos, discussing contracts for players and staff etc etc.


No disrespect , canadian but having watched Villa this last twelve months, not sure Stevie wonder does any of the things you suggest. particularly watch videos of the opposition. maybe watches videoes of various eateries as he does seem to be piling the lard back on.

Never understand how an ex pro in his mid 50's who is the manager supposedly setting an example to his players can be so overweight. He has access to the best nutrition advice, medical and training facilities money can buy yet still looks like he has his head continually buried in the fridge. Strange

It's not even looking for alternative ways of saying 'mass hysteria'.

Back on the topic of John Terry. Is there a reason there isn't a captain's column in the programme now? I think he did one for the Hull game and none since.

Because he still writes one for Chelsea?

I was thinking at the weekend that we've never had a more anonymous captain. Nothing in the programme, nothing on the website, never on the telly giving interviews.

It's almost as if he doesn't give a shit.

Maybe he wants it that way because he doesn't want to overshadow the rest of the team.

Or he is saving his views for when he is writing his managers programme notes. ;)

As for Brucie, lay off him about his weight.

It is probably his glands.

I could warm to him if he's trying to make himself slightly visible.

Once he makes himself invisible then I might stop hating him.
