FA To Dump Terry As Captain?

[chrispy]

From Football 365 -

Fabio Capello will reportedly be encouraged to demote John Terry as captain by the Football Association if he is appointed England coach.

It is claimed that the issue of captaincy will be discussed during the FA's meeting with Capello later today. While this is 'normal procedure when a new England manger is interviewed', the Daily Telegraph says that it carries 'particular sensitivity now' because 'leading FA mandarins have been unimpressed by Terry's behaviour on and off the pitch.'

'As well as being seen remonstrating with referees, the Chelsea captain has featured rather inelegantly on the front pages of some newspapers. Some within Soho Square feel that being England captain is an honour that bears certain responsibilities as a role model, not just for other players but for the millions who follow the national team,' the newspaper reports.

It's thought likely that David Beckham will captain England against Switzerland in February to mark the occasion of his 100th appearance.

Gerrard should be captain as he's one of the few players that deserves to be in there every game.

[Warren]

I think Neville should be captain

That was a rumour.

Also him being racist,unfaithful and a scumbag should have something to do with it as well

Chimbonda in that infamous game at White Hart Lane and Cleo Ferdinand has said there is a racist within the England team in his autobiography.

Yep, loads of rumours of him being a racist and a bigot. Got caught cheating as well. Treatment of referees as well.

Gerrard for captain
