Quote from: Toronto Villa on August 13, 2020, 12:28:52 PMQuote from: Big Ming on August 13, 2020, 12:07:53 PMQuote from: Toronto Villa on August 13, 2020, 11:59:20 AMHe’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.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. And he's been handsomely rewarded for his 'dedication'.

And he's been handsomely rewarded for his 'dedication'.Did you expect him not to be paid or not to be paid what the person or club felt he is worth? How about anyone else who has managed or played for us? Are they not "dedicated" because they have been handsomely paid?

Quote from: gpbarr on August 06, 2020, 05:16:51 PMIf he goes, it'll be our best move of the summer. Not really sure why? I’ve got no idea how much or how little he contributes. I’d like to think that at least one of the players we bring in this summer has more of an impact than a coach potentially leaving. If they don’t we’ll have had a very bad summer.

If they don’t we’ll have had a very bad summer.Although the rest of the outfielders didn't help, defensively we were pants for 80% of last season. He presumably has responsibility for defensive coaching and last season we weren't organised at all. He was a good defender himself but good players don't always make good coaches.
As TV has correctly said - I’m more than happy with JTs professional application.If Jack god forbid ever coaches anywhere else when he retires I would cry if he was over zealous with a goal against us.Some just have issues they can’t get over.
Look, the gaffers have given us all the slap so let’s not make it worse.
