No, the club told his agent over the phone no. 

He can do whatever the heck he wants with that info and he decided that the fans deserve to know. He's obviously not happy with the decision and why should he be? He's done everything for this club and lead it to every major honor possible. He's also worked his heart out in training to still be the best defender at the club despite his age only to be rewarded with being let go while the wort player in the league gets a renewal. 

He can work any angle he wishes to. 

So when does Terry's time at the club come to an end? When he's 45? Who decides? Terry himself? The fans?

The board*. Yes, they can obviously do whatever they want and I can call them disgraceful morons with no values nor, worse, any football intelligence for it.

When he's not still the best defender in our team! Either when he does not wish to play any longer or when he does not still offer A LOT for the club. 

Forget that it's Terry and forget that he's the legend and captain, if we are letting the contract of any of our nailed starters and key players in the team just expire, everyone would be livid because it is plain stupid business first and foremost and because it weakens the team without even gaining anything in return.

And I can call JT the same for handling this situation like this.

[Blue_Fox_ 2,086]

Calm down guys, Miazga is going to be our new leader, captain, legend!

Is he even going to be replaced by someone useful? I wouldn't be surprised if we buy Vermaelen in the summer.

[Stats 7,053]

Baffled. I mean he started the season off quite bad like the rest of the team but since Hiddink has come in he has been much more solid. WTF is going on. He is worthy of a 1 year deal. Does not make sense at all.

Yeah, good luck with that..

JT is a fantastic footballer but a cretin of a human.

No disrespect Chou, but Terry is your favourite player and I think that sentiment is overriding any rationality on your part.

No matter when Terry left there was always going to be this reaction.

The smart thing to do with people like Terry (and Lampard) would be to keep them at the club in a sub-role and I don't know, teach the kids while keeping them focused at the same time. He's not worse than any other defender you have and Ivanovic gets a new fucking contract. And then people get mad when Lamps signs for City.

No english spine ,moving staduim sound familar ffs ,another season playing 20 odd games passing his experience on would be worth $£€£€¥ the rest is priceless,this board r bustingmyballsfc!!!

Good that you know him personally. Speaking about football like we do here, saying he is a fantastic footballer would have sufficed.

Any man that cheats on his wife and children isn't a top man in my books.

At the end of the day, you'd be shunned away from all CFC pubs, shunned away from all Chelsea players who have played in our team with Terry, if you aren't torn by this. Imagine wearing a Barcelona kit, walking into the local pub and proclaiming you don't care about Xavi or Puyol leaving. Imagine walking into a Rome pub full of Roma fans, yourself included, to then share how fine you are with Totti's contract not being renewed. Imagine the day Del Piero left Juve, do you think any supporters were passive about the old geezer who's seen better days leaving? 

 

Now let's take a great player who's old. Di Natate. If Udinese decide to stop offering him contracts, i don't know what will happen, the stadium might be torn down.

Every club's supporters have turned around saying "wait, what?" after letting Pirlo leave. 

Tis nonsensical.

No offense, but didn't he pork a teammate's wife and then secretly paid for the abortion?

I'd say that's pretty shitty.

Not that it matters.

That's just your (uninformed) opinion. I don't know him personally so I can't say otherwise. But anyway none of that has any relevance what so ever to how much of a stupid decision that only weakens the CLUB this is.

No disrespect, but most of the content of your posts on this so far has been based speculative conclusions (he only cares about himself and is manipulating the fans, Iva will be sold anyway, no future manager would want him in the team...etc.) while you have actually failed to address any of the points I've raised in response and just moved onto another point in each post. Not sure how you can subsequently accuse anyone of irrationality.

And since you feel the need to question my personal motivations for this opinion, let me as well tell you that I think you're trying a bit too much to swim against the flow and be controversial.

Last sentence is also obviously false. Of course had we, say, signed a couple of top defenders and JT had found himself on the bench for most of the matches then the reaction of most Chelsea fans would have been VERY different.

It's hard to unimformed when he betrayed his wife and family. That is a pretty strikingly obvious trait of a person that I don't have much respect for.

I don't know about the abortion part, sounds really made up, and the rest of the story you could only read from the Chelsea and especially Terry hating press. Afaik JT and Bridge's wife continue denying those accusations. And yes, not that it matters, everybody knows he can be a dick but we are talking football here, and the main point that should have been stressed was that he is a fantastic footballer, not the cretin part.
