If the FA were daft enough to make a chav like John Terry, with an off field record as long as your arm, the England captain, they surely had it coming to them.
He is a notoriously heavy drinker. He was known to urinate in a club; not Chelsea’s. He and other Chelsea players had disgraced themselves when, drunk in a Heathrow airport bar on the dreadful day of 9/11, they had stripped naked and jeered at distressed American passengers. Not to mention recent tales of how, allegedly, he was trying to set up clandestine £10,000 a pop tours of the Chelsea training centre at Cobham. Though you wonder who’d be daft enough to pay that.
Meanwhile, in recent weeks his own mother has been caught shop lifting while his father has been found dealing in cocaine. Hardly John’s own fault in either case but there’s an old saying about apples falling from trees.
England first game at the world cup is against the USA, will they need a team talk to gee them up for the match? Not likely, they will be well fired up once reminded of what the chav and his mates did.
The FA don’t have the guts to strip the captaincy from Terry, instead they wait till Capello come back and wait until after Sunday to see if more sleaze comes out on the weasel.
I would not only strip him of the captaincy but also drop him from the world cup squad.
qualities like trustworthiness, honour, loyalty, Leadership and comradeship should be part of what an England captain should stand for, sadly Terry possesses none of the above.
Ashley Cole is England’s first choice left back and rightly so, but what if he gets injured before the world cup? Wayne Bridge has already stated he wont play alongside Terry, it just shows his actions have brought the England captaincy into disrepute.
Imagine, if Terry had attempted to have an affair with Mrs Wayne Rooney or Mrs Steven Gerrard? Rather than reserve full-back Wayne Bridge, would the impact be different?.
It would be full-scale civil war, with Capello having to weigh the potential contribution of a combative central defender with two world-class attackers. The point is hypothetical but the principle remains rock solid. Principle generally does, drop the scumbag we can do just as well without the over rated chav.
