Chelsea hit back over Terry allegations

CHELSEA have defended captain John Terry over allegations that he took secret cash payments to lay on a behind-the-scenes tour of the club’s training ground.

It was claimed that Terry arranged the backstage visit by an undercover reporter without permission from Carlo Ancelotti. Terry, who earns £160,000-a-week, was claimed to have taken a £10,000 payment, £8,000 of which he wanted to go to the ‘Make A Wish’ charity for children, with the other £2,000 going to a middleman.

But Ancelotti leapt to Terry’s defence last night, insisting he had done nothing wrong.
