Wio as captain ?

[waspish]

The point is not the captain arm band but Rio gets in the side
at all he's a liability he could break down anytime with his back
problems and plus he's gone as a player

the manager looks like an umpa lumpa!!!!!

 

[mancitygaz]

Too much emphasis is put on the 'role model'
They all fuck up
It's got to be about what they do on the pitch
Who would you rather playing for us?
Sorry WB and JT but I judge you as footballers not mates

I Wouldn't be surprised if the press are already digging into RF's off field activities at this very moment...

personally i could not give two fucks what anybody does in there private life's,but what i will tell you is England have lost a bloody good leader here whether it makes a difference i do not know personally i think it will.

however wio oh ffs why!

Interim!!! 2 friendlies then into the world cup!!
Wio captain, sorry it's over before it has started for us.
Shrek, Lampard, Gerrard but..............Wio! Christ

Interim includes the WC.

surely not interim then

Sorry mate, but I disagree here.

The captain is the leader of the dressing room. Obviously Bridgy and JT both had friends in there, and it made JT's position impossible to carry on. Splitting the dressing room is shit for morale. In the modern game, 90% of the captain's responsibilities are off the field.

Ok so lets just drop him from the squad altogether, the split would still be there and we lose the best CH we have,
Imo he's too instrumental to Englands chances in the summer and all this bollox has gone way to far.
All this will be forgotten if and when he has a good WC.

This is the compromise. Don't forget that captain also has to do a lot of sponsorship stuff and the like of, and the FA probably had a big impact on this decision.

You could probably find flaws with any of the potential England captains.

Luckily I couldn't give less of a fuck who captains England.

Well I could and I want England to do well in S.A, not saying you don't, but it is a major factor.
