It is becoming more obvious that the FA are to strip John Terry of his England captaincy.

In view that he has not been found guilt yet, is this fair?

If so should Harry Redknapp also be sacked as Manager of Spurs, even though he has also not yet been found guilty?

> Quick question - leaving aside the charge of racism - did John Terry cheat on his own wife with the ex-girlfriend of a team mate?

Wikipedia sums it all up - the swear filter should have a field day with this ...

Controversies

In September 2001, Terry and three teammates were fined two weeks wages by Chelsea for an incident involving players and American tourists at a Heathrow airport bar in the immediate aftermath of the September 11 attacks. In January 2002 Terry, Chelsea team mate Jody Morris and Des Byrne of Wimbledon were charged with assault and affray after a confrontation with a nightclub bouncer. Terry was banned from selection for the England team for the duration of the case, though he was ultimately cleared of all charges. In the same month, Terry was fined £60 for parking his Bentley in a disabled bay. In 2009, Terry was investigated by Chelsea and the FA for allegedly taking money from an undercover reporter for a private tour of Chelsea's training ground. The club responded that it was "confident that at no time did Terry ask for or accept money in relation to visits to the training ground."

In January 2010, a super-injunction was imposed by a High Court judge preventing the media from reporting allegations that Terry had had a four-month affair in late 2009 with Vanessa Perroncel, the former girlfriend of Wayne Bridge, his former Chelsea and England teammate. The injunction was lifted a week later, and the British media – especially the tabloid press – covered the rumours in great detail in the days following. On 3 October 2010, The News of the World printed an apology to Perroncel both for breaching her privacy and because the stories were untrue. Perroncel maintains that the alleged affair never took place. The allegations led to Capello dropping Terry from the England captaincy on 5 February 2010, replacing him with Rio Ferdinand. Terry was reinstated as captain the following year.

On 2 November 2011, Terry was placed under police investigation following an allegation of racist abuse made at Anton Ferdinand during a match versus Queens Park Rangers. Video footage circulated on the internet led to accusations that Terry called Ferdinand a "Fluffing black Lady Veg". In response to the video footage, Terry claimed that he was actually asking Ferdinand, "Oi, Anton, do you think I called you a black Lady Veg?" On 25 November 2011, Terry was interviewed under caution by the police. On 21 December 2011, he was charged with using racist language by the Crown Prosecution Service.
didn't he also spit at carlos tevez, or am i imagining that ?
He 'allegedly' spat at him yes, in the Champions League final.
Blimey - and this is the best we can get to captain our national side???
By the way, thanks Ellipsis!
Although I can't stand John Terry, it's rather like hanging a man before the trial!
not really neti, as has been said on here, it's fairly common to be suspended from work while under investigation.

Yes but do you really believe he will get reinstated if proven innocent?

I don't, and there is the difference.
There will be no point reinstating him.

Football is not like most jobs.

This was his last chance of glory in a England shirt. Imagine for a second if he is found not guilty......



I don't like Terry at all btw but this should be resolved now.
<<should Harry Redknapp also be sacked as Manager of Spurs>>

That is the business of his employers, the club's owners and no one else.

Who is asked by the sport's governing body to lead the team that represents this country is a different matter.
Mick, wasn't it Terry who asked for the case to be adjourned? Only got himself to blame, if so.
If the captain of the England team was appointed for each match at the commencement of traing all this hooha and hot air would be avoided.
The FA strip him of the England Captaincy and his Chelsea team mates are unwilling to leap to his defence until the end of the football season.

Looks like people in the know are edging their bets on the outcome of the trial.
Question Author
Gromit has it been said which or how many of his team mates are against him?

Seems the English Manager is far from happy with the FA, for removing Terry's Captaincy before he has been found guilty.
