The John Terry saga has affected the future of the entire English national team. Fabio Capello is gone, Harry Redknapp’s appointment is perhaps just a matter of time and Euro 2012 is around the corner…
When Capello heard that John Terry had been stripped by the FA from his England captaincy due to the on-going race row involving Anton Ferdinand, he told Rai1:
“I do not agree with that decision. I also talked with the chairman, saying that I think Terry can't be sanctioned until a court, a civil court not the sport one, judge him guilty or not about what he is accused of. That's why I think Terry should keep the captaincy.”
These public comments eventually provoked the FA’s anger. It was understood that Fabio Capello had breached his contract by openly criticizing England’s Football Association. Upon request, the Italian man attended a meeting on Wednesday with general secretary Alex Home and FA chairman David Bernstein. Moments later, the manager’s resignation hit the headlines.
This breaking news is not all that surprising. Many people actually believe that Capello and England should have parted company long ago while others maintain that the Italian was never the best man for the job, anyways.
For someone like Jack Wilshere, however, the point of view looks different. The 19-year-old player, who is being portrayed by some as the future engine of England’s midfield, posted the following words on Twitter following Capello’s resignation:
“Shocked about news on Fabio Capello...gutted to be honest, gave me my 1st cap and believed in me! Thank you Mr Capello! #GreatManager
“People have there [sic] own judgement on Capello but for a young player who was given the chance to play for my country at such a young age, he has shown great belief and trust in me so I can only thank him....
“massive influence on my career so far! Sad to see him go!”
Well, only few may feel sad to see Fabio Capello quit England after 4 unsuccessful years in charge of the national team. Capello’s record reads 28 wins, 8 draws and 6 defeats in 42 matches in charge of the Three Lions. These are not bad statistics but it must be noted that during his spell, England did not recover from their habit of under-performing.
“The question everyone is asking, fans and players, where do we go from here? Euro's is just around the corner and we have no manager?!?”
At least one million English fans might be wondering about that like Arsenal’s Jack Wilshere who left this note on his Twitter account. Indeed, there you have it. The 2012 European Championship is less than 6 months away from kicking off so England’s mission is to find immediate stability in order to avoid a repeat of their humiliating 2010 FIFA World Cup fiasco.
Harry Redknapp, above Alex Ferguson, is the hottest name on the list of replacement. His much-anticipated appointment at the head of England’s coaching staff may greatly change the currently blur vision of the Three Lions’ future.
Will Chelsea’s John Terry reclaim the captain’s armband? In which condition will the international career of veteran players such as Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard and Rio Ferdinand be?

“Well, well, well, this debacle claims yet another victim. Where does this stop. #madness No captain and no manager. 4 months from a major championship. What's going on.......”
