Capello’s Next Move: Drop Wayne Bridge
Frankly, we were surprised that Fabio Capello stripped John Terry of the England captaincy. We’re not saying it’s not deserved or justified – but we just don’t see the point. By making an example of Terry, Capello reminded everyone that he alone calls the shots in the England setup. But Capello also said he based his decision on what’s best for the England squad – and in the wake of his decision, which heaps even more shame on Terry, we fear England’s hopes for a good World Cup are now in a shambles.

Dear Footy Factor,
JT gone. Rio elevated. Gerrard second in line.
Now let’s see if I understand that?
JT, a great leader on the field, is removed because of (apparently) morality issues. (Huh? Remember the Prince of Wales and Camilla?). Even if all the allegations are true, he didn’t do anything illegal.
Rio, a so-so leader who skipped a drug test. We have to assume the worst when someone skips a drug test, and the regulatory authorities did so in Rio’s case. Drug taking, as you know, is illegal.
I rest my case.

what a mess. i would have thought that missing a drug test is worse then scoring with a mates ex (let’s remember bridge had broken up with the woman when jt bedded her). plus let’s not forget rio’s famous lack of concentration on the pitch. dropping bridge will just give more fuel to the tabloid press–so that’s not a good idea. best thing to do is ensure bridge and jt focus on their football not their extra curricular activities and demand peace in the dressing room.
