Percy is a good journalist, Telegraph or not.

Surprised that Terry and Smith only spoke on the phone prior to their recruiting and didn't have a number of physical meetings together during the process.

Didn't John Percy say we were looking at a manager who wasn't even in the betting?

I think that was Alan Nixon - he later said he was talking about Patrick Vieira.

Yes, Nixon's name popped in my head just after I posted.

Looking at it from Terry's perspective, it's a fantastic opportunity to work daily with such a great Coach. It's a very smart move on his side and should help him develop into the Manager he wants to be long term. Comparisons with Lampard should be shelved for a few years. Let's see where both are in 5 years time. My money is firmly on Terry.

Yep.  Terry is going down a road called 'Mourinho' whereas Lampard is going down one called 'Paul Ince'

I agree RCF and also shows Terry has the right mindset and  no "airs and graces" and wants to develop himself in his chosen path.

If you listen to the Brentford fans wishing Smith all the best as it was a lifelong ambition to come to Villa, then I really hope in a good few years and when he is ready we can do the same when JT eventually takes up a Managers role elsewhere - especially if it was with Chelsea

Although we maybe a bigger team than them by then  ;)

By then our new owners will have bought Stamford bridge and turned it into a shopping centre and Chelsea will play their home games at craven cottage.

Just a quick request - can we now please stop all the Appleyard shit and give our assistant coach some basic respect by calling him by his real name.

It's only about five, maybe three, people on an internet forum who call him Appleyard you know. Nothing to worry about really.
