English Football captain- John Terry might resign as captain. He has come to this decision after the details of his affair with ex-Chelsea and England team-mate Wayne Bridge’s ex-girlfriend came to light.
John was earlier involved in scam where he apparently accepted money in return for a tour of Chelsea’s club facilities. Read here.
The Chelsea defender will speak with England coach Fabio Capello and FA officials to discover their thoughts on the latest off-field problem to engulf him.
Terry is close to giving up the job he treasures the most in order to save squad’s morale ahead of the World Cup this summer. Terry values being captain of his country more than anything else, but he recognises that his actions could have potentially damaged the unity within the national squad.
Terry has the Blues
Terry’s Chelsea team-mates showed their support for him after he scored the winner against Burnley on Saturday, there are players at other clubs who do not share the same feeling. Wayne Bridge’s current team-mates at Manchester City have shown support for the left-back by wearing ‘Team Bridge’ T-shirts under their kits in the match against Portsmouth. Other players in the England squad have also contacted former Blues left-back Bridge to offer their support and voice disgust at Terry’s behaviour. Players from other Premier League club’s have admitted they have lost respect for a natural born leader.
Wayne Bridge, the player on the otherside of the controversy has voiced out that as long as Terry remains in the England set-up, he doesn’t want to be considered for the squad even with a World Cup coming up. England Coach, Capello, wants a united squad when he travels to South Africa and remains with a tough decision to make. Terry seems to be close to ease his manager’s troubles by informing the FA that he can no longer remain in the role as England Captain.
