Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has slammed Chelsea for their poor treatment of legendary captain John Terry.

Terry made an emotional address to the Stamford Bridge crowd following the final game of the season on Sunday and many believe that the defender is now set to leave his beloved club.

Carragher has been left disappointed at how Chelsea have handled the Terry situation and has gone on to state that a player of his legendary stature deserved a much better send off.

Carragher said on Sky Sports: "He's been an integral part of what Chelsea have done over the last 10 years or so, the success they've had and the trophies they've won. The one criticism you'd have of the club at times, plenty of times, is they've lacked a little bit of class in different situations.

"To have a figure like [Terry] and the way it's been played out over the last few months, with arguably Chelsea's greatest ever player, to be left hanging there like that. It doesn't seem like a send off to me the way it should have been done and the way it should have been handled by the club.

"To come out with a statement three or four days ago that they'd offered him a contract, it felt to me that they were backing him into a corner when it should be something they do together, whatever that may be."
