Aston Villa fans have flocked to Twitter to slam assistant head coach John Terry after the latest news linking him with a move away from Villa Park.
This comes after Villa news Twitter account @AVFC_News shared a post on their official page that included an article from the Birmingham Mail on Terry’s latest comments about moving back to his former club Chelsea.
On being asked in a recent interview about a potential return to Stamford Bridge, Terry replied saying he will be back “one day” in the future.
Would you be happy to see John Terry leave Villa?
Yes, he's been useless
No, the team needs him
This post then gathered a lot of replies from Villa fans who were not happy with this latest revelation from their assistant head coach.
Here’s a sample of Villa fans responding to the post:

He’s a joke. Stolen a wage and quite frankly doesn’t care about Villa. Look at his Instagram and see where he’d rather be

The former Chelsea defender was made Villa’s assistant head coach alongside manager Dean Smith after spending the last season of his playing career at Villa Park in the 2017/18 season, in which he made 36 appearances for the club (per Transfermarkt). Now that these latest comments have come out from Terry on his intention to return to Chelsea in a coaching capacity, this has infuriated a lot of Villa fans on Twitter.
Good riddance!

See ya! I blame Terry and the European scouts for our position in the table.

What do we think?
Given that Terry spent the majority of his career at the London club, it’s understandable why he’d want to return there in the future, but it’s also understandable why these Villa fans would be a bit peeved with his latest comments when he is supposed to be completely focused on the club he’s currently at.
