Henry/Terry excites me - experience or not, they were both part of football dynasties and at the very top of the game - feel it would really motivate and inspire the team.
The football would be boring under Faria.
QuoteHenry/Terry excites me - experience or not, they were both part of football dynasties and at the very top of the game - feel it would really motivate and inspire the team.It might give an initial uplift. But as we have seen with Roy Keane and countless many others, it's only worth an intro. If you act like a knob (Keane) or start to phone it in because you believe the job is beneath you (O'Leary) players soon get wise to that. It doesn't matter then what you achieved in your own playing career. That's why there's a reasonable argument to go with a manager who had an undistinguished playing career. They have innovated as managers because they've had to. And once you start thinking that way, you're always looking to stay ahead of the curve. As opposed to a Strachan/ O'Neill/ Pardew deadhead.In fairness to Terry, he did seem genuinely popular around the place and was cited by many players as a good example re training and preparation. If he is involved at all, I can't see him giving it any less than 100 per cent. But the job being what it is is still too big for a pair of novices.

On what grounds do you base your claim that it will only be an initial uplift?Also, is having a distinguished playing career another reason to lump against Henry, along with no experience? How about his skin colour? I haven't seen that mentioned yet.

Faria can come back when he's won that lot rather just making the tea for the bloke that did
