Transfer Centre

TIMES:

John Terry's problems increased last night as Chelsea dropped two points in the Barclays Premier League title race with a 1-1 draw away to Hull City.

Tom Hicks and George Gillett Jr, the Liverpool owners, have less than six months to secure the £100million investment demanded by their creditors or they run the risk of being forced to put the club up for sale.

TELEGRAPH:

If John Terry needed any evidence of the depth of contempt for his behaviour, he found it here. From first whistle to last, the England captain was subjected to all manner of vilification from Hull City fans.

INDEPENDENT:

Liverpool's pursuit of £100million in new investment is being carried out on the orders of the club's bankers, it emerged yesterday, and with the managing director admitting he cannot "guarantee" success, the genuine possibility is emerging of owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett being forced to sell up this summer.

Fabio Capello and his advisers are concerned that further revelations about John Terry this weekend could undermine any decision on him continuing as England captain made before then and are considering delaying an announcement until Sunday at the very earliest.

GUARDIAN:

All Chelsea could take from this draw was a reminder that the return of the Premier League title will only be achieved with difficulty. Against opponents from the relegation zone, they needed a Didier Drogba equaliser merely to increase their lead over Manchester United to two points at the head of the table.

Alexandre Gaydamak will not force Portsmouth into administration even though the club missed last Sunday's deadline to pay their former owner a £9.5million instalment on the £30million he claims he is owed.

EXPRESS:

Harry Redknapp has launched a scathing attack on football's bad boys by blasting: "If they don't want to be role models, they shouldn't be in the game."

Avram Grant claims Portsmouth's owners may have condemned them to relegation having broken promises about players he could sign in the January transfer window.

MAIL:

John Terry began to show the strain after being given a verbal battering by Hull City fans on a night when Chelsea stumbled in their bid to extend their lead at the top of the Barclays Premier League.

Matthew Etherington insists he is winning his fight to overcome a gambling addiction and has been given a pay rise by Stoke to help him pay off his debts that spiralled to £800,000.

MIRROR:

Fabio Capello is veering towards letting John Terry stay as England captain - unless more damaging, scandalous revelations leak out.

England fans want Wayne Rooney as the new captain.

SUN:

Carlo Ancelotti refused to blame the John Terry affair as Chelsea blew the chance to go four points clear at the top of the Premier League.

Wayne Bridge will start his first game this year on Saturday in the wake of the John Terry revelations.

STAR:

John Terry's bad week got worse last night.

Avram Grant has admitted he will struggle to keep Portsmouth in the Premier League because the club's owners broke promises over signings.
