    Stripped of England captaincy for something he's allegedly done.

    He's Guilty, end of

    Guilty of being a total sleezeball, utterly rubbish role model who does not deserve the England Captaincy.

    The biggest problem with that is finding an England player who isn't. (and who is a regular choice for the starting line up).

    Regardless of the latest race row and whether or not he's guilty, I would be happy to never have him as captain again.

    Who do you pick?
    Cole - Sleezeball
    Ferdinand Sleezeball
    Rooney - Sleezeball
    Gerrard - Sleezeball

    That's why Terry gets away with being reinstated.

    Is there anyone (apart from Chelsea fans of course) that actually wanted / wants Terry as England captain anyway?, if ever his name is mentioned in any footy conversation I have heard or seen its always followed by the usual expletives, stories about p****** in pint glasses, the whole thing with Wayne Bridge etc and now the racist allegation nothing ever seems to be his fault either the guy is very very unlucky or and as i suspect a thoroughly unpleasant person, do we really want someone like this representing our country as an ambassador of football? no thank you not in my name

    It should be Jack Wilshere.

    It all depends on the gravity of his alleged crime. If he was facing a murder charge he'd be in the clink. Shoplifting, he'd carry on like Richard Madely. It's a tough call the racism allegation, perhaps they think his captaincy will be compromised whilst still awaiting trial, particular when he will be marshalling black team mates?

    He is accused of racially abusing his team mates brother and having an affair with anothers (ex)partner. Surely his very presence in the dressing room is disruptive at best?

    A QPR fan at work made a good point. Terry could have turned this around in his favour by saying that in the interests of the national team he was going to step down as captain as the court case was distracting the media and the team from the focus of Euro 2012. Say something along the lines of how he still wished to be considered for the national team etc

    I think Terry should have stood down voluntarily and said he was innocent but understood his captaincy would be devisive until the trial was over. But he didn't. The daft sod.

    Agree with that. He is going to be in the team for years to come and seems an ok lad, give him the armband.

    Far too big of an ego to do owt like that. I don't even think he is that popular amongst his club teammates. Stories in the past of him thinking he owns the club and lording it over all and sundry. Total w@nker.

    We'd be getting closer to a respectable member of society, Wilshere manages to limit himself to spitting at taxi drivers.

    I'd go along with that. Tell him he's got a secure place in the team, and give him the captaincy, making it clear that he is expected to be the role model that England wants, and not the succession of losers we've had previously.

    He never deserved to get the captains armband back in the first place - guilty or not. And he has been guilty of many other things that on there own should have lost him it.

    He's a fine example of what's gone badly wrong within the upper reaches of the game, and what money, greed, and self-interest will often excuse: massive profile, yet the most vile trouble and behaviour follows him around like a bad smell. And how do the FA recognise this? They allow him (until today) to be the Captain of our national side, which is frankly disgraceful. He, and everything he and his ilk stand for, disgusts me, removing him from the national squad and never picking him again should be the least he could expect if the FA actually stands for anything honourable any more.

    John Terry is a ****** of the highest order BUT at this stage nothing has been proven so he should be considered innocent as Dyson said/asked.

    Funny how someone can go to court for calling another grown man a name but the police don't even come out when you've been burgled.

    My current employer made it clear when I started that if I was ever arrested I would be suspended until either I was found guilty or not guilty or charges were dropped.
    My former employer made the same thing clear whilst adding that any arrest for a serious crime would result in me being sacked immediately so that newspapers could not report one of their employees being charged with a serious crime. They explained that if I was eventually found not guilty then I would be offered my job back and would be paid back money.
    My former former employer also had it in their handbook that any arrest could at their discretion result in a suspension pending the outcome of a trial.

    My friend was suspended for being arrested, the charges were dropped (got the wrong person apparently) and he returned to work.

    Isn't this standard practice in a lot of jobs? Why should a footballer be treated differently?
