John Terry - Gone

[Walmley_Villa]

According to the Times we will have to pay him £560k if he fails to sign for another club or retires this Summer.

Yay! 🙄

Which isn't exactly right. We pay him for June as he is still under contract. We will then have to pay him for July if he doesn't sign for another club or retire during that month.

Who's beating themselves up? I'm just not going to make out like he's some legend we were lucky to have.

In 10 years time hopefully most people will forget he was ever here.

Hang on. If it’s true a contract is a contract like it or not.
It’s not his or Gabby’s or anyone else’s problem if Villa is being run by a rubbish gambler surely and if we offer those terms to him or anyone else we can’t turn round and cry foul.
If we’re bound by it then it’s the owners bloody fault. Villa is a business being run in a very, very shite way. Here’s further evidence of the fact.

Of what fact? We gave a standard one year contract to a player who did well for us.

You do realise that every professional player in the country has the same thing when released?

I'd suggest if anyone's to blame, it's probably Jimmy Hill.

[mr underhill]

Terry should take it on the chin.

Terry should take it on the chin.

Or, send him to Coventry.

Absolutely.
Just wondering why the negativity towards someone whose contribution exceeded more than just a season on the pitch?
Right just realized who I’m talking about.

And to a degree Marc Bosman.   Whilst not denying any footballers rights to have control of their own lives and careers,  that verdict played directly into the hands of the agents.  IMO.

Lampards ball sack?

So how is it the owners fault that we're bound to it and how is it further evidence we're being run shit?
