Terry will have a chance to say goodbye to the players and the fans.I was wrong about the timing and wish that I wasn't. He deserved an ovation at the last game and certainly didn't deserve the anonymous negativity.

Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Of course "resigning" from a job where your contract had run out is really just semantics.And speaking of semantics, Sandy wafts back to his days as a lawyer and goes full legalese in order to explain his view of the matter:“From our standpoint I think we are at the end of a seven-year run and we need to make a change in direction ... That’s often code phrase for changing positions and jobs and that I think is what we foresee here.”and “the unavoidable fallout from a change in manager is that coaching positions become question marks ... we will start [interviewing] in earnest over the next few days. We certainly don’t want to waste any time.”
