Mr Mosquito Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 It looks like John Terry may be released by Chelsea in the summer. The type of player that could really turn this club around were he to be made assistant player manager to Steve Cotterill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could still do a job in the Prem, and if not the prem then you'll have 24 Championship teams queuing up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Wayne Rooney appears to be a bit unsettled at Man Utd. Steve Lansdown could scrap the Ashston gate redevelopment and used the money to buy him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a feeling that John Terry will be a player manager somewhere soon, he's 33 years old and I hope he comes here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Mosquito Posted January 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Oh dear... ....well, we once had England's Terry Cooper as player manager and Scotland's Joe Jordan as player manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 He's been great for Chelsea. Legend infact, but a manager anywhere? He struggles with managing a sentence, or even his own sexual urges, not really football manager material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell me you don't see promotion to the Championship as a realistic possibility this season...? I think we can safely say that we won't be seeing John Terry in Bristol next season unless his team (whoever it is) draws us in the cup or his missus fancies some shopping! To be perfectly honest I see Terry as a one club man. If he is indeed released I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him retire from playing and join the Chelsea backroom staff.

Opeth67 Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 ...erm - we are a bottom league one club. Why on Earth would J Terry want to come here when, as Steve W said, he will no doubt get a move to another Premier Club and still get a decent income? Why would he want take a dramatic drop in his wages for the joy of playing for BCFC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summer 2015 then, and he might consider coming here as it's been reported that Chelsea are only offering him a one year contract for next season.

wendyredredrobin Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Reports (from press and contacts who have ben associated with him) seem to suggest that John Terry is a racist, is sexist, is divisive has a criminal family and is a totally vile man all around.

Murraysrightplum Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 He'll do something behind the scenes at Chelsea. Doesn't strike me as coach material.

I still don't understand why posters on here think John Terry will never make it to football management. He's the Chelsea captain at the moment so is successful at leading a top team on the pitch.

I think Red Goblin makes a good point with Cooper and Jordan. Indeed, maybe we'll be able to attract the likes of Terry Cooper and Joe Jordan here again. I'm pretty sure that we initially signed Terry Cooper as a player while we were a top flight club and above the now mighty Chelsea in the league !!!!!!! Then Terry Cooper returned as player manager after a spell with the Gas and it was the Cooper regime that attracted Joe Jordan to the club.

I think Red Goblin makes a good point with Cooper and Jordan. For every Cooper, Jordan & Hunter etc, who were brilliant for us back in the day, there is a David James who despite performances was a very expensive (wage wise). Thought he'd maybe take on a coaching role for us but modern day ex-Prem players are all multi-millionaires and non of them unless they REALLY love & miss the game or for whatever reason 'want to give something back to football' really need a 'pension' from lowly clubs anymore. Not sure if in this day and age excellent signings ala Cooper Hunter Jordan as twilight career players are likely to be seen too often anymore, simply due to lifestyles and the amounts of cash in topflight football (all decent ex-Prem pro's have 'F ** You' money now) money which in the 60's, 70's simply wasn't in the game. Players used to NEED the wages at the end of their top flight careers & were often grateful for the opportunities smaller league football offered, those days are gone, theres a huge gulf between what was the norm then and what is or will be the norm now... These multi-millionaire players would in most cases demand large wages that most clubs would struggle to afford, wages that to the players would seem like pea-nuts anyway & I'd imagine attitudes may well be like they're doing the clubs a favour, almost like giving to charity... as far as most clubs go such signings would involve a large investment for a relatively small term period of excitement & buzz in the stands which would often dwindle to disappointment, even upsetting dressing rooms etc with prima-donna attitudes. If only we could turn the football clock back to the days when it felt more like we were all in it together, I fear those days are long gone now..... Thanks Norm H, Joe J, Terry C.. etc for some great days & memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
