Terry: Wants clause written into deal
"When I was speaking about my contract, I was talking about a nine-year deal and maybe an option to manage at the end of it. I want to get my badges and make that decision at the end of my career."
In addition, speaking candidly about the first red card of his career against Spurs last November, Terry was adamant that suggestions he had racially abused England team-mate Ledley King were wide of the mark.
He said: "It certainly isn't the case. I'd never be that way. People who know me know I'm not like that."
