Hiddink was interviewed by David Davies on Radio 5's Sportsweek. They didn''t say it as Live so I think it was recorded in the recent past.

Hiddink is still in contact with Chelsea officials including Wilkins, but doesn't talk to them on a daily basis. He has spoken to Terry since he left.

He said that he thinks Terry will stay, but he was cagey. Suggested that Terry wants to fight for trophies, and is concerned that they may not do so. With his Chelsea connections I was expecting Hiddink to be very dismissive of City's bid, but it was just the opposite. He was very positive about City in general and the competition they would give the top 4.

I love that man more and more every day. He is absolutely spot on. Calm, collected but still has the tactical awareness of Ferguson and Mourinho. Once again, I could not agree more with the man.

It makes sense that Terry may be concerned, but will probably stay at Chelsea. It is also a good thing for football that City are getting involved with the 'top four'. Absoloutely spit on, Guus.
 
Well Hiddink didn't stay so I can't imagine he's in much of a position to say that he thinks Terry will.

He appeared to have a bond with the team. It wouldn't surprise me if he had a friendship with players like Frank Lampard and JT and he remained in touch.

I wish we kept him.
 
I think that it will be as simple as;

1/ Terry uses our interest to get new deal - not just salary - but more importantly 5 year contract
2/ Chelsea do not want to offer this - Kenyon is under instruction from RA to get the clubs finances under control and more towards self-sufficiency - breaking all the salary band is a way to cock this up - you would have cashley and lampard straight outside the door just for starters

3/ Chelsea decide to cave in and offer £150k and a 5 year deal
4/ But to their shock - that is not enough - Terry wants minimum, £175k - and this they are having problems giving him - just would totally fuck up their structure

5 So all the delay is whilst Kenyon and his agent negotiated and meanwhile the 'shadow' of Man City looms

Chances are they will cave in and they will come out with undying statements of love - but if Chelsea do not cave in - well then he will be a CITY player - might leave a bad taste as we are clearly not his preferred club and he would only be coming for the money - but a compromise that is probably good for club at this stage of the project - we need a leader
 
Forget all the power talkers, there's nowt like a grovelling plastic yank fan to sway your major career desicions. :-)

i think if terry doesnt say anything regarding his future in america and gets back in the uk without saying anything then we still havea good chance of getting him.

also lescott will be back in a few days aswell so we might see 2 new centrebacks very soon.

Remind anyone of the 'Carlos Please Stay' signs being brandished at OT? Lets hope for the same outcome!

It wouldn't surprise me if the length of the contract were quite an important issue. City know they'll have to offer him five years to get him to come here. Will Chelsea, however, be prepared now to commit to having him on their books until he's five months from his 34th birthday? If not, then the financial disparity between the two packages on offer to him will be that much greater. Wouldn't be altogether surprising (to me, at any rate) if Chelsea's stance on this turned out to be a decisive issue.
 
Its a shame but i think Terry will stay. Ancelotti has said "TRUST ME Terry is staying" That is a bold statement to make and he surely wouldn't risk saying this if it wasn't true especially in his early reign as Chelsea boss. How stupid would he look if he decided to leave.

Wouldn't surprise me if he ends up back at Stamford Bridge when the World Cup is over. But that prospect may be used against the current manager.

Do you expect a speedy resolution to Terry's situation? I think the player himself will find it very hard to live with the stress, and will have to make a decisive move when he returns from the States.

Unfortunately I think he is being set-up by his club, and the media as a player whose sole focus. That's being bought by fans of City and Chelsea. He's 29, and is a driven sportsmen. He wants everyone at CFC to be as committed to winning as he is, and this is a crucial decision for him. He leaves now, or stays at CFC until his career is effectively over.

he wouldnt he would just say he did everything but there was nothing he could do to stop him going
 
JT riding a police bike/segway/mall thingie on SSN, surely that's a secret message he's joining us! Yes?? (clutching at straws...) ;)

He seems very sure on the matter. Quite smug about it really.
 
Agree with Dyed. That's one of the first things about Terry that made my whistle, five years? FIVE? Chelsea are NOT going to offer him that. Is there anyone who thinks they'll do anything more than top-up his current deal without extending it? Additionally, for all we know, City have been working since January to put image right deals in place that simply require a signature or two - prior preparation prevents piss-poor performance. I doubt City are going to wait until Terry signs to begin working.

Yeah Ancelotti basically put his trust with the Chelsea fans on the line with that statement.

He must have been told from JT himself or by Abramovich that he's not going, whatever happens.

So they will ALL look like pillocks if he does move then. Doesn't mean he's staying.

Good points Brucie. We are as profesional as I can ever remember since ADUG took us over. We will be well prepared IF ( and that's the crux for me ) we get a chance to offically talk to JT.

Chelsea are clearly anxious about our ambition as they've tied up other key players to long term deals whilst in the US. As we've already seen they'll try everything they can to avoid letting JT talk to us. If he really is interested in us he's going to need to force the issue himself. I can't see Chelsea ever relenting to our advances, even at 35-40m, as this whole saga is worth much more than a player.
It's a matter of pride. The hunter has become the hunted.
