John Terry - Gone

[Allan C]

It’s the first time I’ve bought a news paper in about 15 years after hearing about JT’s interview in The Times today. It’s a really good read and I’d recommend it. It’s very obvious that he loves it here and I hope he signs an extension

[LeeB]

There was a point last season where it was questioned what he bought to us as a coach. I think the improvements seen in all of our defenders this season have put that to rest.

Cheers, will seek it out. Like the headline quote from JT  "I’d love to manage a top club, but I’d turn down Spurs’".

I wouldn't be surprised if he managed us one day.

He’s been nothing but the consummate professional since coming to us as a player and coach. And I cannot imagine how it hasn’t rubbed off positively on the club at every level to have someone around who has won so much.

I have mentioned more than once on here how he took an interest in my sons career as a trainee chef when my son was working at The Belfry and Terry was staying there. Also how he made sure that during a Villa Christmas
party visit at Acorns he made sure he spoke to every member of the Acorns staff, all of the kids and all of the kids families. This was despite the female Villa employee who was in charge of the visit trying to rush through the visit as quickly as possible.

As acting president of the Craig Shakespeare fan club, I reject the implications the above post makes. Terry was here last season and our defending was pants. Top man Craig arrived this season and sorted it out.

If he wants to manage a top club, turning down Spurs kind of goes without saying!!!

You might want to look at the manager and how he was trying to play every game as a big part as to why the defence was pants. The tactics were incredibly naive and especially when you consider how many goals we conceded late on. I am sure Terry has made mistakes as a coach as he learned on the job. But Targett, Mings and most certainly Konsa are better than last year. Even Hause never lets us down. And that we defend better as a team isn’t just Terry but Dean Smith as well as he realized you cannot be that open all the time at this level. And yes I am sure Craig Shakespeare has added knowledge and wisdom too. It’s been a collective effort aided also by the arrivals of Emi and Cash.

I also think Souness was right, and that the groundsmen deserve credit for cutting the grass slightly longer.

Story that deserves being repeatedly told though. Had my misgivings about him when he joined, but you have to say he's been a model pro & an absolute credit to the club.

Terry and Snodgrass were fantastic that season in the 2nd division. Proper decent hard working footballers who seemed to both get the Villa from the off.

[LukeJames]

Wondered about this at the beginning. Couldnt of been more wrong, been nothing short of exemplary since stepping through the door. The ultimate professional.

That is worth knowing and repeating. Most people do some bad shit in their lives and some good stuff too, life’s complicated and all that, it’s obviously magnified with top footballers.
I never liked him without knowing him, but have to say I’ve been hugely impressed with how he’s essentially kept out of the limelight, virtually never providing quotes or interviews in the media, never once looking like he could undermine Smith, which could of happened with his much bigger media profile.
And the post about him and Snodgrass in 2017/2018 is bang on.

I think I heard on the Football Ramble that Spurs fans were singing that Lesley King was better than him on Sunday, and Terry’s reaction was to go out of the dugout and hold up an imaginary trophy. Top bantz.
