R.I.P John Terry

His mum has the same philosophy, with head.

Hopefully he'll get the Chelsea job when Conte gets forced out next season.

Firstly, it was a struggle to find any Aston Villa fan who was jumping with delight at the arrival of a 36-year-old former England captain with no match fitness and a history of unsavoury incidents.

Secondly, it was Bruce and Xia themselves who were the most vocal cheerleaders for Terry’s signing, frotting themselves into a frenzy of self-congratulation. ‘Hey guys, look who we have landed! You might remember him from such things as That Night In Moscow, The Court Case and Chest-Beating: A Two-Step Guide.’

It is increasingly apparent that Bruce got sucked into the Terry retro-amnesis, delighting over the name rather than the player. This was the type of signing he could never manage at his previous, unfashionable clubs. He took the fact that Terry wanted to sign for him now as a testament to him as a manager and Villa as a club, when really it was all about Terry’s descent.

This was a fight for managerial relevance by a man who has suffered the sharpest of declines since being interviewed for the England job 13 months ago, paying the highest wages outside any top flight anywhere in the world for a 36-year-old in a position for which Villa already had options. They sold Nathan Baker to make room for Terry and Chris Samba, also on significant wages. Plenty of supporters would have been happy sticking with their lot.
