He needs stripping of it because his leadership performance on Sunday was a disgrace and he was more bothered about arguing and inflaming the situation than calming it . Never been a captain and certainly not a role model either .

Rodri and Dias. They are clearly the vocal leaders.

Captain: Rodri
Vice Captain: Dias
If neither are on the pitch at the start, Manager names the Captain when he gives the line-up.
If neither end up on the pitch after the start, you give it to the senior player on the field.
I have no problem with the players picking who Captain and Vice are, but I think the manager should be the one who chooses them.
Walker is a disgrace as a Captain, both on and off the field.

From the outside perspective, Ruben is clearly the one.
Laser focus, high standards, vocal, organised and accountable. Always striving to be better and never hides. Old enough to be an established senior player but young enough to play regularly for hopefully many years to come.
When Rodri's back from injury he'd be a fantastic vice-captain as he also has many of those qualities.
The team chose Kyle and they know better than us their reasons for doing so. And, having given them the choice, it's very difficult to take that away without making them feel disenfranchised.
Ironically, if Kyle actually was a great leader, he'd have stepped down when his personal problems became public. I appreciate that no-one is ever a completely perfect role model, and you certainly can't expect footballers to live like monks, but with everything he's had going on I just don't see how it could be possible for him to prioritise the team and the captaincy and give the job his full attention.

If he was fit enough to start every game it would have to be Kev. Bright man, proven history of rallying the troops, exemplary character. The same could be said of Gundo were he in old form - I can imagine both having successful management careers. That said I think we should cut Kyle a bit of slack. If the players respect him that speaks for itself. I don't have two families (that I know of) but I don't run as fast I did when I was 27 either.

I wonder if the players really did pick Walker to be brutally honest.
He made that cringeworthy shite Wolf of Wall Street "I'm staying" video and was named captain shortly after Pep took him out or bloody sushi.
Would not surprise me one bit if him being made captain was part of that deal. That's my theory anyway.
Embarrassing all round if so.

Funny how this only comes up now we are in bad form. No issues with Walker last year when we came back and roared home to another title I guess?I wonder if the players really did pick Walker to be brutally honest.

Rodri, Dias and anyone else who's been suggested don't need a fucking armband to be a "captain". It's well known we have a captain's group. Walker literally just has to do the coin toss and photos with the mascots.
