Shocked Terry blames his Chelsea team-mates for getting Scolari the sack
John Terry last night pointed the finger at his Chelseateam-mates for getting Luiz Felipe Scolari the sack and admitted only 'two or three players' supported the Brazilian coach. In a remarkable admission, the England captain revealed that he is preparing to lift the lid on Scolari's turbulent seven-month spell at Stamford Bridge after tonight's friendly here against Euro 2008 champions Spain. Hours after it became clear that owner Roman Abramovich was bringing in Russia coach Guus Hiddink to replace Scolari, Terry said: 'I've got sympathy for Scolari and I'm very shocked by what's happened. He had my support, that's for sure. Two or three other players will say exactly the same thing. Which players revolted against Luiz Felipe Scolari at Chelsea? Have your say here.

Terry and his England team-mate Frank Lampard are believed to be the two players who remained behind Scolari until the bitter end. Sympathy: Terry says the players should take the blame for axing of ScolariThe England skipper added: 'I'm not affected by it. We have not been performing well individually and collectively as a squad and that falls on the manager's head. That's unfair because a few of us could have done better in our time with the manager. 'We started off very well, but form and results dipped. At the start, I was playing well for the first five or 10 games. Since then I could have been better. 'I'm my own worst critic and I know I need to improve my fitness and my game. That coincided with Chelsea's poor run of form and I could have done better. I hold my hands up to that.

Terry said Hiddink would stabilise the club. 'He's very astute,' said the defender. 'His teams play, they get the ball out from the back. I don't know too much more about him but we will have to wait to see.'
