John Terry's Chelsea Career Deserved so Much More Than to Go out with a Whimper

Guus Hiddink summed up the mood of every Chelsea fan on Saturday.

"If he doesn't play for Chelsea again, it is sad," the interim boss said. Hiddink was referring to John Terry, whose red card in the 3-2 loss to Sunderland was potentially the last action of his Chelsea career.

Terry revealed in January that he wouldn't be offered a new contract to remain at Stamford Bridge beyond this season. The club contradicted that notion by suggesting any decision wouldn't be made until a new manager was appointed. Well, they have one in Antonio Conte, and a lack of movement since the announcement of his appointment in early April suggests Terry's assertion was correct.
