Fabio Capello has reacted strongly after FA stripped Terry off captaincy as proceedings against him continue for racially abusing Anton Ferdinand.
The Football Association, in my opinion was within its rights and principally correct to remove the controversial captain as grave allegations overshadowed him. But on the other hand, Capello's reaction is also apprendible as a man of such authority was apparently not consulted when such a critical decision was being made about his team.
So lets take a look on reactions by a few English players followed by unreserved remarks by me:
Wayne Rooney:
My Comment: Spot on Wayne. This guy never fails to speak up and says what he feels is right.
Rio Ferdinand:
My Comment: Rio might see this as an opportunity to cement a permanent place in the team once again. But I doubt that he will be able to do this keeping in view his lingering back problem, new blood deserve a chance and should be allowed to play. Rio should be taken to the Euros as a sub. (This is coming from a United Fan)
Jack Wilshere:
My Comment: Wilshere is rightly thankful to Capello as he gave him the chance to show his mettle on the top level.
Kyle Walker:
My Comment: Walker is rightly thankful to Capello as he gave him the chance to show his mettle on the top level.
Glen Johnson:
My Comment: Capello might be a good man Johnson, but his departure may endanger your position. I think Micah Richard deserves a chance for his consistent performances and should be used against attacking teams.
Michael Owen:
My Comment: Dont be silly Owen, I know you will welcome the next manager by saying that he is the best for this job. But you still dont deserve a chance in the England team again, so start looking for a pundti's vacancy in a sports channel as you are well past your prime.
