So what’s Terry got on Capello, recordings of discussions on tax evasion, video of him spanking Max Mosley, there has to be something because this decision cannot be the product of mature reflection. Is Terry even worth a place in the team? I wouldn’t let him captain a rowing boat with only him in it, I’d rather leave it to one of the barnacles on the hull. The guy is a plodding, whining, pedestrian, work-a-day centre half with negligible distribution skills, slightly better than average tackling and aerial skills and ordinary situational awareness; not a very prepossessing bill of goods.
If Capello imagines he’s getting a Stuart Pearce or Terry Butcher then he’s sadly mistaken.
