I think the fact that there's been no denial from JT about the rumours of him returning is a clear sign that something is happening behind the scenes. I predict something will be announced tomorrow....

What rumours? Is there something more concrete than instagram?

The press picked up on the story last night. I'll leave it to Mr Skillz to decide how credible the reports are. The only thing I'll say it that timing wise it adds up.

Bruce has been at his mum's funeral over the last couple of days so I doubt he's available to comment.  For me, this is a shit move for a bloke who's legs have gone.  He was brilliant with the other players, so bring him in as a coach instead, or assistant manager maybe?

I still have a small hunch that a future management role of some kind might be oiling the cogs.

His mum's funeral?  I know ye do burials a bit later than many countries but it's been, what, six months now!

I think given the state of the defence he’d be a very good option.

It’s a very sorry state of affairs to have one recognised centre half on our books, so it does make sense to bring Terry back.

To be honest after last season I’d love for him to return, however not just as only our only other option back there. Bruce is certainly blundering his way through this.

I'd bring in Terry, Huth and James Collins.

I heard from a good source they want Thierry Henri to take over with John Terry as his assistant.
Disclaimer: my good source is a local pisshead down the pub who reckons his brother spoke to a former player in asda.
