Next manager?

[Jon Crofts]

Terry 'n' Terry I like it.

From what I've read, whoever comes in as Manager, Terry is lined up to be Assistant/First team Coach.

I can’t believe I would say this, but I really hope so. I was so impressed with him last season. He’s a real winner and loves the game.

Blimey, just seen thierry Henry in another Clio advert.  He'll have to give those up!  Unless Purslow can persuade them to become our stadium sponsors.  Any thing to add to the pot.

In the summer I was dead against it.  However, given that a sense of almost total apathy has developed over me especially this season to date I now think fcuk it anything is worth a punt just to try and make the place exciting again.  At least they’re winners.

I remember Henry talking about seeing Arsenal players congratulating each other at Newcastle on the final day a few years ago and saying they have nothing to celebrate about finishing fourth and beating Spurs.

For me Henry/Terry or Faria/Terry has numerous pluses along with any number of question marks. But I feel the pluses ultimately outweigh any obvious negatives in both cases.

I'm not really getting why Terry is being thoughtof as that likely. I mean didn't he leave before the new owners came in so they wouldn't have much of a prior relationship with him. That doesn't rule him out certainly but  if Bruce tried to get him back and the club vetoed it........well if they rated him that highly wouldn't they have found the money, and it was there judging by the aborted bid for the fulham player. Doesn't add up to me.

[Toronto Villa]

And while it might make Mr Jameson's eyeballs emit vomit Terry back at the club and back to organise what was last year a pretty good defence is only a positive. It will help Chester no end and it will help Nyland. Keep the goals down to a goal or under conceded a game from now on and we will always give ourselves a better than even chance of winning with the attacking players we have. Right now we are a shambles at the back and Bruce & co had no idea how use our very talented midfielders and forwards.

If it happens, let's purge it out of our systems before the inevitable groan-inducing tabloid cliche: T.N'.T. !

[achilles]

Henry to coach our forwards and Terry to coach and work with our defenders, with Wenger as the DOF/Manager.

I know I am just dreaming!

[Chris Jameson]

I can’t help thinking that the former Chelsea number 26 is going to be in the style of the Stuart Pearce management/coaching, all about rolling your sleeves up and showing some PASHUN! That’s the nicest thing I can think of to say about him.

[Little Class]

Thierry and Terry -  a masterstroke or cardiac arrest.  If it goes wrong, then Dean Smith next summer....

nah, he's probably the opposite of that. Certainly he was more into the preperation/diet/technical aspects of the game from what i could gather.

[clash city rocker]

Bruce is an experienced manager and just see where that has got us....possibly the worst defensive unit I have ever seen at villa park.

So we rule out all experienced managers?

This is a huge gamble if it happens. I would have preferred if he came in with someone in as DOF.

Not saying rule out experienced managers.just saying that experienced managers are not always the answer.

To be fair to Terry he has looked after himself, fitness wise and joined the 21st century in terms of fitness and nutrition.

[Allan C]

I have to disagree Chris. I think the Henry/Terry combination has the potential to be the best managerial signing we have ever made. I think both will be fantastic coaches
