So the John Terry to Manchester City saga continues. After keeping quiet up to this point about the whole thing, Man City bossman, Mark Hughes, has let his feelings be known about the whole situation.
“We would like to think we could offer John a different challenge,” Hughes said. “He’s been at Chelsea a long time and I know from my own experience as a player that when you have been with a club for a long time you get to a point when you think you need a new challenge and that a change of scenery would re-ignite certain things within you.
“It is not a question of finance, or money, it is about a different challenge, and John being at a different stage in his life and his career, and maybe that is why there hasn’t been a response [to commit himself to Chelsea] because John is seriously thinking in those terms. I went through that process myself as a player and I can understand if that is the way he is thinking.”
Mark Hughes trying to appeal to the “challenge for a player” side of John Hughes? Does this sort of thing have any sway on how JT, aka “Mr. Chelsea,” goes about making his decision to stay or go?
