Terry wants more glory days


JOHN TERRY has underlined Chelsea's determination to reclaim the Premier League title under new boss Carlo Ancelotti.

Skipper Terry lifted the FA Cup on Saturday as the Blues brought the curtain down on a turbulent season with their first silverware since 2007.

In a letter sent to all Chelsea season ticket holders and members, the 28-year-old was quick to thank Guus Hiddink for transforming the team's fortunes.

But he also made it clear that finishing third in the league was simply not good enough.

Terry said: "I would like to say a special thank you to Guus, who has been just brilliant since he arrived here in February.

"He came at a difficult time when things looked like they were slipping away from us.

"To lead us to an FA Cup success and within a whisker of the Champions League final is a great achievement.

"That said, third place in the league isn't good enough for Chelsea anymore.

"It's our worst finish since Roman Abramovich bought the club and we all know we need to do better.

"It is fantastic to win the FA Cup but we want more and that's the way it needs to be for us these days.

"We will all enjoy the time we have off now and come back for pre-season as determined as ever.

"Of course, we are looking forward to achieving great things with the new manager."
