Terry, who was captain of the club for much of the Abramovich era, posted a message to the previous regime ahead of the first home game officially under Boehly’s stewardship.
He wrote on social media: “As we enter into a new era under new ownership, I want to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to Marina, Bruce and Eugene for all of their fantastic and hard work at our great football club. You have all helped us become the BEST, winning every trophy in world football.
