Chelsea skipper John Terry has called for a period of stability at Stamford Bridge after the managerial upheavals of the last couple of years.
Which probably explains why the club has so emphatically dismissed an audacious £30m bid from
Manchester City for their inspirational captain.
"We can confirm we have completely rejected an offer from Manchester City for
John Terry," a statement on the club's website read.
"It was made clear to City, for a second time following an approach last season, that we would not entertain any conversation on the subject.
"At the time John also reiterated his total commitment to
Chelsea. We would like to make it clear, and will not do so again, that John is not for sale."
Terry is looking forward to working under their new Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti and says: “It is important that we realise Ancelotti is going to be here for a good few years, he is going to bring in his own players, staff and training methods.
"We need to adapt to that and move Chelsea in the right direction. It is important that we get a bit of stability under Ancelotti for two or three years.
"We must get a settled team and a settled manager and really build and move things in the right direction."
