How do we know he's shit?

It's mainly the stench of racism for me.
Is that his new fragrance: Racism by Terry.

Interested in the Bristol City vacancy.

Last year in Div 2, we only had the 11th best defence and shipped 20 more goals than Sheff Utd.

So far this season, we've already let in 62.
And case you're asking Sheff United have conceded 33.

Would he be missed?

That assumes that (a) he's the defensive coach and (b) Smith listens to him anyway.

For all we know his brief might just be to act as a conduit between Smith and the players. Or put out the bibs and cones.  Smith seems to place more stock in the opinion of O'Kelly.

It's interesting that first WBA and Boro last summer and now Brizzle think enough of him to consider him for the top job. 

I'm not totally against the idea.

His arrival in 2017 seemed to herald a new professionalism about the place. 

There was an interview with him at the tail end of his playing days showing the detailed notes he'd kept about training routines under previous managers.  Playing under good ones won't make him a good one, ofc.

And whilst I'd be tempted to say Terry with an experienced coach be the way to go, it didn't do much for Sherwood when he had Butch Wilkins as no 2.  Nor RDM with Steve Clarke.

I'd hope for better but then I hope for lots of things.

I don't blame him.

He's probably looking at Lampard managing Chelsea after a year winning nothing with Derby and seeing Smith look totally out of his depth at the Villa and thinking he's got nothing to lose.

Yes lot of incompetence and Terry is buried up to his neck in that pile of manure.

Think you'd end-up switching to the electric bike.

That's one that sounds the most like a Suede lyric!

Without realising, I had originally typed that you would breakdown with him on your back but then changed it!

It’s all Terry’s fault, at some point I am sure that Purslow, the Board and maybe even the Head Coach will intervene.

It's Terry's first coaching job, seems to me he's keeping his head down and learning the ropes like he said he would. Have we ever been so critical of a coach before? We really dont know if he's any good at it or not.

Might have been an idea to give him the responsibility of looking after one of the younger teams as well so at least the results could have given us a pointer as to his competence and suitability for the first team managers job.

The sheer incompetence of our centre backs and lack of defensive shape generally doesn't exactly speak volumes for Terry's coaching ability.

It was a farce of an appointment to begin with. Smith really needed experienced top coaches with him. Not a novice.

How does anyone actually know what he does well enough to make a defined judgement on him? For all we know he could have certain views that don’t align entirely with Dean Smith and in the end it’s the manager who makes the final call. We are putting entirely too much stock on him because of his name. I don’t get some of the vitriol towards him as a member of Aston Villa. He was superb as a player for us. He’s now a coach. He has never said one bad word about us. Always speaking highly of the club and fans even as a Chelsea player.
