So it's highly likely that at this moment in time City know Terry's plans... hence the confidence that we can get him... NB: I said at this moment in time... things can change!
Of course, Hughes' comments last week were literally speaking on behalf of John Terry and the reason why Chelsea got annoyed and leaked threatened legal action.
The reason they haven't is clear, aside from the fact they would be seen as the biggest hypocrites in town.
Beckham threatened all the papers when his affair with Rebecca Loos came out, but he never actually did, because he was bang to rights but for the purposes of getting his denial out there, it worked.
My own opinion is that Chelsea board have been playing catch-up but are now firmly setting the agenda in terms of how they look good, whether he stays or not.
City can only sit back and watch how it plays out, we have done all we can.
We cannot legislate for Terry's final state of mind, he is human after all. And no agent, however close, will have final say.
