The John Terry Appreciation Thread

[Luckydevil1]

Just read it. I'm so happy he's staying.

Come on John, let's make this year a successful one!

Captain, Leader, Legend!

Exactly how I feel too, Liam. Very pleased if Conte had a hand in this

I think it is quite clear that players are a board decision with the occasional dictation from Roman. So I think Conte will have been consulted

I would be massively impressed if Conte carved out a role future role for JT at the club next year

 

[Ballack & Blu]

I Didn't really think there was ever a doubt, hope JT realises though this really might be his swan song, and he makes a smooth transition to the Dug out(eventually)

JT signs a new deal, Liverpool lose a final, great day

 

[Englishman]

Great news. I do hope it was Conte's call though.

Captain   leader   legend

The Sun are reporting he's taken a 100k per week cut to stay.

What a man.

 

[Scott Harris]

Great news. I do hope it was Conte's call though.

If he was then it would be a great way to get fans on side early on.

 

[BadBlue]

Great news, well done JT !

Reports are saying he has taken a 90k / week cut and snubbed lucrative deals in China, hats off JT ! 

 

[forbzy]

Great news for sure! I wonder if Ivan will be off instead. Certainly it is hard to imagine us keeping Ivan, JT, and Cahill.

Chelsea fans channel on their report of Terry's new deal said that Conte was involved in the decision. So sounds like he wanted him to stay aswell.

This is from the official statement. So Conte was involved 100%.The decision has been taken following the appointment of Antonio Conte as the club’s new manager last month, and consultation between Terry, Conte, the owner and the board

Oh so very happy! Well done JT.

Conte was intelligent enough to see that Terry will still provide so much to the club through his leadership and his ability as a defender.

It was clearly a no-brainer that he would stay and Conte merely reconfirmed what we were all thinking.

 

[Englishman]

If he was then it would be a great way to get fans on side early on.

Not only that but it would mean we haven't forced a player on him that he might not necessarily want, and he has enough confidence and clout with the board to keep JT.

 

[ForeverCarefree]

Would be nice to see one of the legends of the Roman era retire at the club.

 

[Van Butsen]

If he was then it would be a great way to get fans on side early on.

I'm hoping all the fans are behind him no matter what!

 

[General]

top bloke signed up for another year

congrats to the club, JT and us the fans

Would be nice to see one of the legends of the Roman era retire at the club.

(Unfortunately there don't seem to be any pictures of him and Paulo standing next to each other.)

 

[Charles Ryder]

I've seen a few...

Ah, Mrlsh, I miss him.

What a man.

Taking a 100k per week pay cut isn't a big deal when you're making 150k. Or at least it shouldn't be if you have common sense in terms of personal finance.

I think he was on 150k before, so this would bring him down to 50-60 which is very reasonable and appropriate in my opinion. I'm thrilled that he and the board were able to both see it that way.

How far along is he in his UEFA coaching badges? It takes 5 years to complete all the levels.

Having second thoughts apparently? Without wishing to cast aspersions perhaps he's genuinely just focused on playing atm
