Manager Fabio Capello has decided John Terry will not be captain of England.
After two weeks of intense speculation and scrutiny over allegations of an affair with the ex-girlfriend of former team-mate Wayne Bridge, the Chelsea defender will now be handing over the armband.
Cappello's former vice captain Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand gets the job for the time being, while Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard will be deputy.
John Terry stripped of England captaincy by Capello
While I'm no fan of JT, personally I don't believe he should have been sacked over his romantic misadventures (the stories alleging financial impropriety are another matter).
Terry's indiscretions did not take place on the football field, and it's odd that Rio Ferdinand is considered a more suitable candidate as captain, especially when he was left out of the England squad in 2003 after failing to attend a routine drugs test....
Oh - and as for those politicians who had their say on this saga, all I have to say is:
John Major and Edwina Currie
