    It's the win ratio during his time as manager that did it

    I think it's excellent news if he's Jackson's choice and terrible news if he's not. 

    For the avoidance of doubt, it doesn't matter one bit whether I think it's excellent or terrible news; what matters is how well he improves the team and how soon the improvement takes place.  

    Good luck Terry.

    He was Yeovil’s manager between 2009-2012 in League One. Then assistant manager to Gary Johnson when they got promoted in 2013.

    So even though Yeovil aren’t in the greatest place today, he has good prior experience at this level and the one above.

    And, I would like to be the first to say "he's only gone and done it, Tel".

    Two London lads. Terry’s 46 so a few years older than Jacko but not so much of an age gap that they won’t see eye to eye.

    I think them meeting during studies for their coaching badges is the most plausible explanation here.
    was just about to say i imagine they did their badges at the same time/place

    I suspect bringing in an assistant and whether it would be Jackson’s choice or not came up in his contract negotiations and whether his choice or not it will have been expected and perhaps we really could do with another voice on the first team staff

    I think for someone to be in various coaching roles for that long at one club is a very good sign these days in football. Especially as often when managers leave or get sacked the coaches will go with them.

    Hope JJ was higher in the class than Terence, going by his win ratio before getting demoted at Yeovil.

    I'm going to wait until it's on the OS and JJ explains his reasons.

    I really can't see this being a TS choice so assume Jackson has made this choice based on Skiverton's experience and skills but we shall see

    Annoying to have another TS at the club to confuse things.

    Sounds like great news. We need somebody qualified to help us in L1.

    I think think they’re looking more to his experience in non league football. Forward thinking and planning for the future.

    Sounds like a good appointment. Happy with this.

    He needs a song- one better than that dreadful one Euell has.

    Feels like he’s a mate of JJ’s to me. Hope that’s the case.
    Random as f if that was a Danish pick.

    should know all about the talent in the lower EFL and the National League .. he's an experienced football man and presumably his (as yet unconfirmed appointment) was endorsed by J J

    A surprising choice seeing that Yeovil have been in the NL for the last 2.5 years, but I'm sure it's Jacko's choice, rather than someone forced on him, and that's the crucial thing

    I've no problem with bringing in an outsider, indeed that's probably a good thing, as we have plenty of internal input into the team and do need outside opinions.

    At first glance it seems pretty odd but the more you think about it then it becomes a good appointment. Welcome Terry

    I heard he's Jackson choice after the Sandgaard's interviewed him from a list they found in Roddy's old desk drawer titled "football friends I never met" because  skivo and Jacko possibly did their badges together and gave each other a nod.

    Really don't see what the issue is
    Agree totally. He has all his badges, has experience in the role. What’s not to like (except his connection to that scummy club in West London).

    It's the new policy.  Everyone through the door needs to have TS initials.

    It might just be crazy enough a plan to work. 

    Bringing in Tom Smith from Orpington Rovers will be offset by signing Thiago Silva.  I can live with that.

    Unexpected but some fresh experience from outside the Charlton bubble isn’t a bad thing. Hopefully Euell is cool with it.
