It would make sense all round, not just on the pitch but in the dressing room as well.
It would be desperate behind belief. Make us look like complete and utter numpties as a club.

How would it?

I think we look bigger numpties with Jedinak in the centre of defence getting our arses handed to us on a plate by the likes of Sheffield United, quite honestly.  I would think that even at 38, Terry is a lot more mobile than Jedinak, and is of course, a much, much better player.

They wouldn't have scored the first goal for a start.

Left back at right back
Center mid at center back
Center back at right back
Saviour coming in 2 months after we could have signed him, without a pre season and 8 games in to the season

It's fair to say Bruce has fucked up.

He did pre-season training with Marseilles I think.

More so than losing 4-1 to Sheffield?

Defintely makes the manager look like one, but I think we all knew that .

He didn't, he watched them whilst on a holiday.

He's an organiser, and we desperately need that.  Get him in.

Pictures of him training? I've not looked into it so I don't know how much or little he did.

To be fair to Bruce, I think he would have offered Terry a contract extension in May, had we had a pot to piss in at the time. Although that doesn't excuse him for doing nothing about the problem since the takeover.

I still have concerns about his legs, but as others have pointed out, the defensive organisation and leadership and team fight we'd been lacking for years were suddenly back in evidence last season, and now they've gone again. Disappointing that Chester hasn't been able to learn and take on that mantle for whatever reason, but that clearly not being the case, Terry is worth the money IMHO.
