JT has full Blues backing

Chelsea have thrown their full weight behind embattled captain John Terry. This comes after mounting calls for his head following tabloid revelations about his affair with the partner of a former team-mate. Terry, a married father of two, is alleged to have cavorted with Wayne Bridge’s girlfriend when Bridge was still a Chelsea player. Regardless of the revelations, the Blues skipper has the support of the club’s billionaire owner Roman Abramovich. "There is nothing but support for him at the club in a difficult time,” a club insider told The Sun newspaper on Monday. "The bottom line is this is a private matter. John has not done anything illegal and it's up to him how he deals with it. He's a valuable team member and one of the Chelsea family, his position at the club is not in any doubt."
