The John Terry Appreciation Thread

I don't know if they're the worst, and you can't really define the worst anyway. I do think they act like a mean heartless corporation. The type of corporation that would very rid of someone who had been there 50 years without so much as a thank you, and where those at the top can get away with anything.

As much as I'm a fan, if offered a job there I wouldn't take it. If they treat legends in the public eye this way, imagine how they treat "normal" staff members.

What are they supposed to do? Keep renewing his contract until he's 45? Or to put it another way, would you prefer if JT played for us next year at the detriment of the team's performance?

 
Really upsetting to think that that's the last time we'll have seen JT play for Chelsea.

They treat them very well as we were the first club to ensure all employees were paid a minimum of a living wage. As for the worst asknow almost any English clubs fans if they would swap their board/owner for ours and I suspect 95% would.

I would renew Terry's contract as long as he wants to play here without a second thought. Terry will know when his time is up, he wouldn't carry on playing if he didn't think he could do it anymore. 

It should be Terry's decision when he wants to leave the club. After everything he has given us fans, this should be his choice.

The only other club that treats their greats in a similar way is Real Madrid, it's one reason why football fans see them as a soulless club.

Terry is more than just a footballer to this club. It's not just on the field that he has been great, behind the scenes he has helped the club greatly. 

We aren't talking about just one of our legends here, he is our greatest in our history. No other club would do this to their best ever.

I can't argue against any of this, John Terry IS our greatest ever player without question, and I'm absolutely gutted if today was his final game. I actually hope he stays, as a player or a coach. I just don't agree that the board should be somehow cast as the villain, they only have the best intentions for the progress of the team.

This is, for me, the biggest legend in the history of the club, Mr. Chelsea....I just can't come to terms with it. I'm afraid of what happens when I'm no longer in denial about this...

Absolutely Devastating how our board treats our legends!!! First lamps, now JT.

well now you're giving too much privilege to JT.. I think the club gets the decision just about right on when to call time for our old servants with the exception of ivanovic (serbian-russian special connection??) ..

And yes, real madrid is a bad club, not only clubs legends but about every single player that they treat them whenever they want to as if some disposable commodity but to my amazement, players still see them as their dream club to join.. 

 
We'll give his wages to a bunch of foreign youngsters who will never play for us.

 
If they aren't going to give him a new contract then surely he must get a testimonial?
