would love to see terry as one of conte's assistants, if the club had any sense surely they would be aiming for this, terry goes and so does the teams heart.

Perhaps JT was holding back a few potential leaders in our ranks?  Perhaps some of them wanted to take on more but felt they couldn't or didn't want to overshadow the man?

 
It's a sad day for us......the end of an era.

Good luck to JT

When he's done in China or the USA or Timbuctoo ! ......I want him back at CFC installed as a assistant coach in the Chelsea Academy end of OK !

 
I think it would be a great shame to have him go out like this, there's no harm keeping him on for another season as our main goal should be 4th position. What's really worrying is that we don't really have anyone to take over as captain that I would be 100% confident in.

 
Rumours circulating on Twitter that some fans are planning a 26th minute walkout at the Leicester game, I presume with the intention of returning for the second half. 

What does everyone think of this?

 
Understandable, but I think JT would want the fans to get behind the team. As someone else suggested, minute's applause in the 26th. Hopefully a f**k off big JT flag will make an appearance...

Bad form, positive praise is more appropriate.

 
I don't think it would be a very bad idea to be honest. It's time to finally let the board know they are (and have been) making decisions none of the fans agree with. I understand football is also a business and therefore sentiments can't always be taken into account. But so many decisions have been the wrong ones (in the eyes of many fans). Maybe it's time to let them know how we feel, cause it certainly feels like they aren't making an effort for us.

Absolutely ridiculous.

Hopefully anyone that does walk out keeps walking until they get to the Emirates. A much better fit for them.

I don't mind to be honest. We should really let them know how pissed off we are that they are doing this. No other club would let their greatest and most loyal player go like this. What they are doing is unforgivable in my opinion. We will most likely never have another player that has cared more about the club than John Terry.

The club is shameful for doing this. This one decision alone shows that the soul of the football club has been ripped away. We aren't a proper football club anymore, we are an embarrassment.

Agreed, there's really very little ways fans can voice their concerns where it would be heard and a mass walk out is one way to be heard.

Could be that Conte has made the decision in consultation with the Board and is telling Terry that it's a Board decision, so the new manager doesn't take the flak from the fans for showing Terry the door.

Yeah that crossed my mind. The other possibility that crossed my mind is that Conte said he doesn't feel strongly one way or the other, so whatever the board wants is okay for him.

 
Proper sent off is a must, or a testimonial game. We got rid of Lampard through the back door, like he isn't one of the greatest players ever to play for the club. If we can't respect our Legends how can new players respect the club? Hope this China bullsh*t is false and that Conte has some sense and gives JT an extension he needs leaders and we don't have plenty of them in this team.

I would love JT to get another season but accept that even if that does happen, we won't be seeing him play week in week out like he has. Time / age is catching up with him and although he is still a great player, you cannot expect a 35/36 year old to keep playing at that level (although we will have the "luxury" of no European football). We know he has never been quick, but I think the sending off against Sunderland showed how he is going to struggle to nick the ball like he has been able to in the past and will miss-time more and more tackles.

That could well be in the back of Conte's mind - if is looking to build a side for the next few seasons, you aren't going to include a player of JT's age in your plans.
