John Terry has revealed that his Chelsea team-mates would have 'screaming arguments' in the dressing room but insists at no point did player power undermine a manager at Stamford Bridge.
Suggestions that captain Terry and other influential figures in the squad were actually running the show rarely went away during his 19-year, 717-game career for the club.
Managers such as Avram Grant, Roberto Di Matteo and Andre Villas-Boas were allegedly sunk by player power and in 2015, Terry even had to deny dressing room forces curtailed Jose Mourinho's second stint.
But Terry, who returned to Chelsea as a consultant coach in January, insists the likes of Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba, Ashley Cole and Petr Cech were not too powerful behind the scenes.
