John Terry - Gone

[Toronto Villa]

He’s played for us, and he works for us as a coach so for the last few years he’s been dedicated to us and we paid and pay his wages. Why are some so obsessed about his ties to Chelsea. Should he just cut them off completely just because he’s with us? He’s was there from the time he was a kid and won literally everything with them as captain. It’s hardly a surprise he really, really likes them still and is very interested in how they do.

Perhaps he could have managed a celebration when we took the lead against them at VP recently then.

I think it's relevant in the context of professionalism once you reach management level.

There are probably better 'workplace' analogies you could apply it to, but I prefer to think of him as the footballing equivalent of that guy who lived abroad once, or was really popular back in school, or had a great experience at uni -- and hasn't shut up about it approaching his '40s. The whole "When I was in..." thing. A bit sad, like.

Sometimes wonder who pays Terry's wages and who he works for.

Priorities seem to be what's going on at Chelsea ( latest eg.... Declan Rice).

What has Declan Rice got to do with Chelsea?

I'm disaapointed at how few people call him by his correct name, Appleyard.

I've never understood this term.

Possibly the least funny thing on H&V ever.  Well maybe second least behind Glen Peens curling one out.

Come on, the side splitting why did Barry not take the penalty and Agent ......
are further examples of great wit

Ah yes.  And now I remember some idiot kept trying to get the name 'Airport Boy' to stick for Callum O'Hare.  Absolutely nobody else joined in, but that didn't stop him trying.

Harsh, Redsox was just trying to add a bit of light to the shade.

I'm considering taking a few mates down to Oxted on Saturday and forming a guard of honour at 3.26. It's possibly the only way he knows how to leave.

Nothing, other than trying to sign him.

The optics of working for us but apparently talking someone up for another club is not great though. Also, I'm not sure when exactly he will back from Portugal but as he needs to add 14 days before he can come back and coach, it leads to less then 2 weeks before the prem starts again. (Obviously Mount and Rice might be in the same boat). When does pre season start again?

Still I expect the club have ok'd it.

Nice quote fail.

The papers say they are trying to sign him or maybe they just met on holiday.

Quote fail - scraping the barrel aren’t we.

nice drink coming his way should it happen

Rice was at Chelsea as a boy so they possibly know each other (and are welcome to each other).

Who cares? Players who have played for us and score against us don’t celebrate. It’s stupid. He’s dedicated three of his playing/coaching career to us and been a consummate pro throughout, yet is still hated by some. It’s bizarre.

Yep, just a fuss over a holiday snap.

And he's been handsomely rewarded for his 'dedication'.
