Mark Hughes begs John Terry to talk to him – Is this ethical?

The disgusting and unethical tapping-up of John Terry by Man City continues, with Mark Hughes making a public plea to Terry to move to the Eastlands.

He said: “We would like to think we could offer him a different challenge,”.

“From my own experience, when you have been with a club a long time, you maybe get to a point when you need a new challenge, when you think a change of scenery would just re-ignite certain things within you.

“It is not a question of money. It’s about a different challenge, a different stage in his life and career, and maybe that’s why there hasn’t been a response because John is seriously thinking in those terms.

“I went through that process myself and I can understand if that is the way he is thinking.

“We made an offer to Chelsea and I’ve made known my feelings about John Terry.

“He’s an outstanding player and an outstanding person. We’d like the opportunity to speak to him but as yet that hasn’t been forthcoming.”

What happened to loyalty and “honouring” contracts? I thought there was a code of conduct between managers that said they won’t talk about other team’s players until (or only if) a transfer fee has been agreed between the two clubs?

Do man City think that their money puts them above all that? Talk about arrogant!

What do the fans think of this development?
