John Terry - Gone

I hope he stays for at least another season.

I know that there's a high likelihood that this'll get me booted off the site, but.... I disagree.

I hope we've signed someone better, because we could now afford them.

Ban him! Lynch him!

Just seen the goal from yesterday, granted I’m no fan of his but I was expecting something more than the ball bobbling a few inches sideways for the pass after the comments here!

If only if what he did in the moment was that simple. We get it Chris you don’t like him.

In all honesty I think it's somewhere in the middle.  What he did is what I'd expect from most players (and certainly any defender) in that position but far too often you see players get a rush of blood and try to lash it into the top corner instead of playing the lay off for a tap in.

Agreed. I'm what you'd call, I suppose, a Terry "fan" now, but that touch just showed his experience and a level head.

Those are the two things that he's offered us this season which, in my opinion, we'd have been a lot worse off without.

I hated Terry before he signed, but on the pitch he has been class and a joy to watch. I am surprised about the results with and without him though. Stats? Or something in it?

[Simon Page]

For me it was a joy. Everyone else is falling on their arse and wildly swinging at anything that moves, yet he just calmly took it all in and played it perfectly. It's probably as much of a commentary on the lack of composure of most players as it is a moment of sublime skill.

[Richard E]

He's confirmed that his contract provides for him to stay for another year if we get promotion.

This is a really nice interview from JT.

[wittonwarrior]

To be fair he was damaged goods before signing for us.  His anti social behaviour and gambling rumours have done him no favours. 

He is obviously looking to pursue a career in the game after retirement so has had to be sqeeky clean. 

Saying  all of the above until he was injured before Christmas was proper class and since his return has  been good if not quite as assured as he was pre-injury

[Alinushavfc]

JT îs here for another season.

[Steve67]

I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised if Steve Bruce stepped down, due to the tremendously bad family experience the poor bloke has suffered this season.  I don't think any of us could blame him. If we are still in the Championship, Terry gets the gig for continuity reasons. If we go up, probably not.

[Ad@m]

I'd rather we didn't go back to the days of being a training ground for crap and/or inexperienced managers.

We're Aston Villa - to manage us should be the pinnacle of most managers careers, not an easy place to learn your trade.

[Chris Jameson]

If Villa go up and he does stay, Villa at Stamford Bridge will be the most vomit inducing match in the club's history should the number 26 allow himself to be selected.

He has always said that he won't play against Chelsea.

[frank black]

I would rather he stayed if we don’t go up, rather than if we do.
