Yep, but quite apart from that, a team needs to be able to change and adapt systems to match those which other temas are playing. having just one system is like playing rock/paper/scissors and playing rock every single time.
This inablity to adapt from a single system was Steve Coppell's failing in 2007/08.

Pretty sure it was actually making som shit signings and having your best players stop performing.

I know it does not mean he did not do it, and he may well be a thick racist, but as a footballer he is a role model.
Chelsea captain. CL winner. PL winner. One of the best 5 defenders the league has seen.
As a person maybe not but you cannot doubt his quality as a footballer.
Agreed, if you wanted someone to come in and be a role model for defenders based on football ability only, you'd be hard pressed to find someone better than Terry.
+1
Basically my point. Hence my saying I would not mind him as a manager at all.
Yeah as somebody to look upto as a person, might not be all that. But he would
1) Sort the oxf*rd out of our defence
2) Know enough people in the game to be able to get us some loans
3) Motivate our players. Imagine being a young player in the Academy or under 23s and having him as a manager, somebody you watched lead England out to World Cups and win CL's with Chelsea. They would be chomping at the bit to work with him.
4) He would be hungry and eager to manage a team and prove he can cut it.
If we judge people or vilify things on things they may have done and then basically tell them we do not want them as a club, we would have a very slim oxf*rd choice of managers to choose from.

I’m not sure why you’re phrasing this as a hypothetical and not a known.
We recently had one of the best defenders to play in this country in recent years as our manager. It didn’t sort our defence out. Lots of young players talked about it being good to have him around (although frankly I very much doubt the likes of McIntyre and Holmes can sincerely remember Stam leaving United in 2001 or were following his progress at Lazio in 2004…) but he ultimately only really bought through a couple of young players.
Knowing people in the game isn’t really an obstacle for us. The club has had plenty of good loans in recent years - Ejaria from Liverpool, Baker from Chelsea, Martinez from Arsenal, etc.
Derby have a recent England captain as their manager - and unlike Terry, he’s an actual Champions League winner rather than someone who just watched Ryan Bertrand win. How much more motivated do you think that has made them? What about Arteta at Arsenal? Pirlo at Juventus? Campbell at Southend? The Neville brothers? Lampard at Chelsea? Solskjaer?
Hungry and eager manager - probably applies more to managers who aren’t established multi-millionaires with successful media careers. And you know what - most of them haven’t been convicted of racism by the FA.
Maybe Terry turns out to be the next Cruyff. Fine. But there’s really no reason to think he will be and a very good reason to think he won’t be.
(And off topic, but for me the top 5 centre backs in Premier League history would be Ferdinand, Kompany, Van Dijk, Carvalho, and Adams, with Terry alongside the likes of Campbell and Vidic in the group below)

Notts Royal 1 win out of 5 in a reasonably decent start opposition-wise. Pauno has to be under pressure now. He’s far from convincing
