I thought he was an outstanding signing as a player and his experience in his own play, managing team mates - including bollocking them when  required - I think changed the minds of many on here.  For me his biggest value - and what we often miss now - was his ability to manage referee's.  Not sure he made the same impact of the field but I certainly wish him well for the future.

I'm stragely saddened by that. I had similar levels of contempt for him before he joined us that I felt for the likes of Dennis Wise, possibly even more so, but he's kept his head down and got on with learning his trade.

Share the same emotions as most people on here. Didnt want him at the start but now have total respect for the bloke. He contributed to our revival and thank him for that. If he comes back to VP as manager of another side, he will get the appreciation he deserves.

Wonder if he took his felt tips with him ?

Good luck I am sure that he will turn up at Swansea - but personally not too disappointed.

Strange to be leaving now, just a few weeks before the new, potentially exciting season of even further progress...clearly has something even more special than AVFC lined up, in his view.
Hope it's not connected with the Jack situation.
All the best to him whatever he does. I think he's been good for us and we've been brilliant for him.

Fair play to him he's always spoken well of us and no reason to believe he hasn't given his all. Always hard to judge the impact of assistant managers/coaches. Hopefully he wasn't the vital cog.

A big thank you to you JT. You have been a brilliant coach for us. Wish you all the best for the future.  May see you back as manager one day who knows!

Absolute Disaster for the Club just a few weeks before the start of the new season.
We need to get a big name in ASAP , always thought Terry was a good pull for signing players.

If Jack goes this could be a tragic summer

Clearly thinks he's done enough at Villa to get a job elsewhere, either at a "bigger" club as an assistant or something that in his mind approximates to a step up; or a manager/coaching role as no.1 elsewhere and wants to be in a position to apply for whatever job comes up that he fancies without compensation payments to Villa getting in the way.

Up to Villa to find a replacement defensive coach. Equally as important to player signings

I heard Martin Laursen speak during the Euros and he came across knowledgeable and the discussion also included some Villa 'fondness' etc. Based on not a lot someone like that would be a nice sentimental replacement, he might be a naff coach though (I've no idea) !

Deano will no doubt has some preferred candidates and let's hope he's allowed to mould things as he wants them.

He helped us and we helped him. I didn't hate him like some and always had an admiration for what he achieved and let's face it he has done pretty well in football.  Even so, he has blemished that for being a full kit wanker.  Will be interesting to see how his managerial career pans out.

I can't tell if this is satire or not?

Shame to lose him, but it was always going to happen one day.  He said fro day one he wanted to be a manager, but to learn his trade before jumping in.  Well, he's had 3 years as an assistant, so I'd have thought now was as good a time as any to look for a job as the boss elsewhere.

I actually respect his decision to leave now, rather than spend the season 'considering' job offers as they arise.  Much better for us, I think, and he could easily have stayed with one eye on the exit. I appreciate that.

Why is it a disaster? What has he brought?

Yeah, same with me.  Wouldn't have predicted this when he joined, but I'm a bit disappointed that he's off.


Best of luck to the guy.  Hope his & Villa's paths cross again at some point.
