John Terry

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

I think Terry rushed a little bit with this announcement...

Chelsea still didn't decide his future...Waiting for the next manager.

I think he got a pretty strong hint and decided to act to try to get himself a new contract via fan uproar.

Now if the Chelsea board are asking Terry to wait until the next manager, that's fine (although I would have still disagreed, but fair enough). That's not what I'm angry about. What I'm angry about is Ivanovic gets an extension regardless, like he's Mr. Chelsea.

That's disrespectful. Terry is everything Chelsea. Literally everything. And the board are actually willing to let him go depending on what our next manager says. There has to be order in Chelsea. Taking away Mr. Chelsea is the last thing this club needs right now.

Ivanovic needs to be sold if Terry gets axed. If that extension given to him wasn't done with the intention of selling him and he continues to play a prominent role next season while JT gets dumped, then quite simply the new manager along with the board are fucking idiots.

Exactly.

No longer a football club, but a cut throat business. John has played his part in this though by speaking out now, but at 35 and at the end of the season there may be no takers. So he's now in the "shop window" for all to see until the season ends.

My own feeling is that he should not be allowed to leave, but should be offered a coaching role within the club, just like Giggs at United. The mans experience is invaluable and he is being allowed to go. Poor move if you ask me.......I sometimes fear we are losing our identity as a club. Fans revere the players and promote them to cult status, then the big-wigs just drum them out of the club........Sad..Very sad. Loyalty (especially like John has given us) should be rewarded, not discarded

[Sovieticus 743]

So they aren't sure if the new manager will want Terry, but they are sure that they'll want Ivanovic. What the actual fuck?

[BXL70 396]

Terry will turn 36 next year. It is time for Chelsea to renew its squad. Good decision.

[It's too big 625]

Well to be fair, Ivanovic is 31 years old, Terry is 35. Ivanovic has leader qualities and would be one of the more experienced players if Terry left.

Right now, and according to the board they see different...Miazga is the man.

I see a lot of people suggesting this is disgraceful of the Board to not renew Terry's contract and yadi yada... But I also see that these very same people have a very short — conveniently ? — memories.

 

Terry Senior was caught dealing cocaine ; Mrs Terry Senior was caught stealing clothes ; Terry Junior was allegedly caught facilitating tours of Cobham in a shady way ; Terry Junior was caught cheating his wife with the ex-wife of his ex-teammate ; Terry Junior was caught saying nasty racist things on the pitch ; etc, etc... Some might be false and some others might be blown out of proportions. Nonetheless, all these scandals — and more particularly the Bridge-gate and the Ferdinand-gate  — have been heavily used to indirectly attack our club and to try to derail many of our seasons. What did the club do ? They have backed him, all these years. I can assure you that anybody of you would be fired of your job on the spot if you were to be accused of racism — to be accused of racism today is like to be accused of paganism and witchcraft in Spain during the Inquisition or to be accused of being a Shia in Daesh's caliphate. Yet the club have backed him while it would have been so easy — especially because Benitez relegated him to the bench — to sack him like an old rag — and the whole football world would have congratulated Chelsea for doing so. And on top of that, that is the player that fucked up the penalty that would have won us our first Champions League ; and he let us down in the semi-final of the Champions League in 2012 — and consequently the final — by getting a stupid red card. It is highly likely that most of the club — at the exception of Liverpool, if you know what I mean — would have got rid of this problem of a player... Yet, during all those scandals, all those affairs, all those problematic moments... Chelsea has always backed their Captain while it would have been easier at several occasions to sell him than to back him up.

 

And now, despite all of that, some people have the sheer arrogance to accuse the board of being disrespectful ?? All of you, instead of playing your outraged virgins, you should be grateful toward this 'classless' and 'disrespectful' Board — because had not it been for this 'scum' of a Board, you lot would not have been able to watch your 'Captain, Leader, Legend' — he would not have stayed long enough to be called so anyway — for this past five years or so. Just keep that in mind... Ah, this whole 'who's the more outraged of us' contest is truly cringeworthy and pathetic, and is really becoming unbearable...

And what's funny is that the same members of the press who have spent years deriding Chelsea for Terry's many misdemeanours (some who advocated his sacking) are now bashing the club for simply saying NO AT THE MOMENT to a new deal for 35-year-old player (albeit captain, leader, legend etc etc etc).

This is all really just a big joke. I'm glad I don't take football seriously any more and can just laugh at stuff like this.

Yeah, but you're forgetting that the club was getting tax cuts by listing Terry's wages as charity....  

What the actual fuck are you even talking about? Yeah, Terry has been basically leaching off the club and taking advantage of their charitable hospitality of him to help his family's drug and theft mafia....

Or maybe, just maybe, the club thought that this is the best defender in the history of the premiere league and one of the best and most important player to have ever put on a Chelsea and that what he could still offer to the team BY FAR out-weighs any damage the media hysteria and exaggerations of his (and even more immorally, his family's) private lives. 

Every single board of a top club would have done the same and more for a player like Terry. Had the club decided to sell him in his prime, every single top English and European club would have been fighting for him.

If you are suggesting, even for a second, that the board had any reasons not sell Terry, or any other player, at any given moment, other than they thought it was financially and footballing wise in the best interest of the club; if you think that the board of a modern football club would just charitably do a player a favor out of the goodness of their hearts, then you haven't got the slightest idea how business management works.

Terry owes this board NOTHING. They have never done anything for him beyond fulfilling his contractual rights. On the other hand, JT has done so much more for this club than it says he has to on his contract. He's always gone the extra mile which showed how much he cared about the club and about its fans, be it watching and cheering on the youth teams on a regular basis, or offering advice and help to everyone at the club or reaching out to fans and talking and discussing with them during tough situations or regularly putting the best interest of the club before his personal health and long-term career. And THAT is why he will be immortal at this club long after this management and board have been forgotten.

But I do agree on one thing, it is pretty unbearably cringe-worthy and pathetic the shit you have to read on here some times...

@peace you post rare long articulate essays, that ocassionally hit the mark, this one is spectacularly way off.

Its the anti Chelsea bile from a T*ttenham fanzine, its the bitter ramblings of a trophy hungry Arsenal teenager in his bedroom, its a hateful jealous diatribe from a liverpool fan masturbating in a toilet. a post that can only reiterate the half truths from tabloid papers regarding the private life of the greatest player ever to play for Chelsea, the team you purport to support - tell us that you copied from a rival forum, and its a wind up, a sick joke.

WTF? What has the board done for us except be absolute shit recently? What has John done for us except give us his all for over 20 fucking years?

[Henrique 9,133]

Just was thinking: the club actually never told Terry that his contract won't be renewed, instead said the next manager will decide. So, why did he decide to make everything public? 

1- Other clubs will understand the is available in the summer and his word will atract good offers from the likes of MLS clubs.

2- The next manager will be left in a situation that he will feel forced to give Terry a contract extention to win over fans.

Its a win or win situation.
