Yesterday, the interim manager position at Chelsea became available, and apparently John Terry wanted to take it.
Well of course he did. Terry is Mr. Chelsea. He has blue blood and loves the club through and through. He’s had coaching experience, and we know he could have sorted that dressing room out.

But he always had no chance. Can you imagine Terry coming in and telling this lot what for? Can you imagine him coming in and telling the owners and sporting directors everything they are doing wrong? Will never happen, the Chelsea owners don’t want that smoke.
But Terry was apparently keen on stepping in anyway, but of course that role has now been given to Callum McFarlane who seems to be another Blueco favourite.

The Daily Mail report they were told by someone close to John Terry that he would have loved to work with Chelsea’s squad, and that the feeling might even be mutual inside the changing room.
I’m sure every player in that squad would love to work under Terry, a legend of the club and one of the best ever players to turn out for us. He would demand their respect and instil a strong mentality.
There are expected to be between five to ten candidates to become Chelsea’s next manager with there admiration for Cesc Fabregas according to reports that came out yesterday.
Liam Rosenior’s fallout with certain groups in the Chelsea dressing room was apparently key to his downfall, and it was apparently the Spanish speaking players who disliked him the most.
