The Football Association is set to remove the England captaincy from John Terry, the BBC has learned.
FA chairman David Bernstein has spoken to board members and the majority view is Terry should be stood down. He would still be available for selection for the national team. It would be the second time Terry, 31, has been stripped of the captaincy. He is due to stand trial in July over racial abuse allegations after an incident with QPR's Anton Ferdinand. The Chelsea defender has entered a plea of not guilty to the charge. Bernstein is expected to speak to England manager Fabio Capello about the issue on Friday. An official announcement could be made before the weekend. Capello has until now maintained the position that Terry is innocent until proven guilty and that he should be free to select him as his captain until his trial is over. There is some nervousness among board members as to how the Italian will react, with some fearing he will see it as undue interference in team affairs. But there is now an acceptance among the FA hierarchy that the matter should be taken out of his hands. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/16866149 |

Gerrard should be captain for the Euro's later this year, then once it is over it should be handed to a younger player to take the team forward.

Well steven Gerrard is my real favourite player anyway so I would hand the captaincy to him, in fact he should have been anyway.
He seems fit again and playing well so for sure Gerrard for me for Euro 2012 at the very least. |

I hope Joe Hart or Scott Parker is the next England captain, not that the role matters anymore.
