Just how i dreamt it.......
Unbelievably it is being reported that Henry is the number 1 and John Terry will be his assistant (with the possibility of playing)
That would be mental
I like it
Just how i dreamt it.......
I like the sounds of this appointment to and if the players don’t up there game with those two then there’s no hope..
Yes it comes with risks attached but gerrard n Lampard seem to be doing ok
Go for it I say
Reports suggest Henry's knowledge of the game is second to none, who's to say he's attack minded though just by virtue of his playing days? I hope that he is and we get JT to shore up the defence through to January - only the top 2 teams in this league can be considered to be "in-form". Recall Suliman and Elphick if the loan terms allow it, Jedi in front of the back 4 with a midfield 3 of McGinn, Jack & Hourihane.
Bolasie and Tammy up front, use the full backs to provide the width.
JT has just announced his retirement from football.
I'm reading everywhere that the Henry/ Terry combo is a done deal. I think this is a huge gamble but an exciting one. Those two know how to win and win trophies. Hope this comes to pass. Make it so.
What Oz said.
As i sit here in Helsinki looking at all the hype, im just thinking; the clocks ticking!
11.28 pm and still no news, Dave! We can check again at 11.29.
I was totally against Henry joining us as manager in the summer, but I guess we are in a different place now. Definitely a gamble, but the combination of their offensive and defensive nous, coupled with Terry's experience of Villa and playing in the Championship last season could be amazing, if they gel. I did read that Henry is very popular with Hazard and co, so maybe he can add that va va voom (sorry ) to Villa.
I guess we have this window open to us now. , so we might as well climb through it and see what adventure it leads us on.
I'm a bit surprised at Terry's announcement that he is retiring from playing, given our need for a defensive player, at least until Christmas?
I feel like I'm selling my soul to the devil 're Terry, but despite my personal feelings about him, I can't deny he was really good for Villa last season. I guess we're recruiting a new coach for Villa though, not a new friend for me.
