Ares9139 Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/8495604.stm Wow, didn't see this coming. I kind of half anticipated Terry leaving, not really believing it would happen, but certainly didn't see Rio taking over, I was fairly sure it would be Gerrard. So, what do people think of this?

Ares9139 Posted February 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I recall Rio having done the duties before now, when Terry was injured, didn't think he'd be offered the permanent position though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reason I think he didn't is because he may not always be in the team if they switch midfield around like they do. The whole thing stinks though.

Ares9139 Posted February 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I agree that the pressure will be on, but I think it was the right call.

HappyHamer Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 If he's going to be the first choice for the World Cup, then David James would be a good captain. He's the most senior member of the squad, and has recently altered the terms of his contract with Portsmouth in an effort to alleviate the financial problems they are currently having. IMO he is a good role model for England players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ares9139 Posted February 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 But what capello is saying hes not a good role model? well neither is steven gerrard or rio I don't agree about Rio at all, that was several years ago, he's performed the role before and his alleged offences weren't as disgraceful as Terry's. I sort of agree about Gerrard though, although he's not going to be captain, but if he were it would be a bit of a double standard. That said, I think there's a difference between a drunken fight and cheating on your wife and going behind a team-mate's back that lasted for a while, publicity surrounding the Terry scandal has been far bigger as well.

The only other contender is Robert Green and Capello just doesn't seem to rate him. I think Lampard or Barry are among the "cleaner" members of the squad, but they're not captain material, and we need Rooney to concentrate on his game.

I think considering that Gerrard is captain at the 'Pool and Rio has been captain before, they're the obvious choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonyoda Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Personally i dont care about his personal life in the slightest, seeing a footballer cheat doesn't mean all the kids are going to grow up sleeping around. Gerrard has never performed in an England shirt, amazing for Liverpool but i'd pick Lampard over him everytime. Was reading the daily mail at work yesterday (either that or the times) and noticed 2 things, Terrys wife was clearly besides herself, whilst sunning herself in Dubai or someplace without the children & also the USA had the exact same situation in 1998 with John Harkes, who was captain, sleeping with another players wife, their manager did exactly the same thing by stripping him of the captaincy & has regretted it ever since saying it was the main reason for their poor performance. Just my view, interesting read eh. Oh yeah, Happy Birthday HappyHamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I think Terry has let himself down, he showed on Saturday that he can cope with the pressure, but IMO the FA are spineless. By deciding to leave the decision solely to Capello, they were hoping to avoid the hard decision and the inevitable press backlash regardless of the decision Fabio made.

Rumblin Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 It wouldn't be good for England to drop Terry from the squad, so I can see why they kept him on. Gerrard, Lampard, and Rooney all expressed that they did not want to captain role. Also, Capello stated ?When I chose John Terry as captain, I also selected a vice-captain and also named a third choice," he added. "There is no reason to change this decision." All in all I say it was the right move for England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
