There's something about the way Chelsea is run that I've never liked, from the way they booted out Lampard, to the way they treated many of the star managers and players who have been at the Stamford Bridge helm. But nothing upsets me more than this John Terry saga. How can you not offer Mr Fantastic a deal? He's what Chelsea is all about and represented the club since he was 17!!!!!! He's won trophies, accolades as he was all ever present in last season's title win. he's been the back bone of what Chelsea are today and the success story that they've been in past 12 years, I think it's a disgrace how a club can treat their star man like this.
Okay John Terry has had his problems, is known for being arrogant self centred and not done himself any favours off the pitch in recent years. But it's what you do on the pitch week in, week out what matters, if we are going to judge players on what they do outside of football most would be judged harshly. I've been following football for nearly 14 years, I play as a centre back like JT does, I've watched the greats like Ferdinand, Campbell, Maldini and Cannavaro play and they inspired me to love the art of defending. But Terry's stats and CV speaks for itself and he's always been a defender I've many admired, Chelsea need his guile and experience if they are to be the top team they aspire to be. If I was on that Chelsea board I would be doing everything I can to make sure he retires at the club.
It saddens my heart that in modern day football clubs cannot honour or at least honour their star/one man club players we hardly see it in this era where players are giving their all to be a one team player. Okay Chelsea have the resources to replace him that's not the point, it's about showing gratitude and giving players the send off they deserve. Not treating them like a stripper once you've done with their services.
