JOHN TERRY SHOULD GO TO SOUTH AFRICA

John Terry should go to South Africa but not as captain.Fabio Capello quite rightly as England manager should decide both matters.Capello thinks we over egg the role of England captain and Terry is the sort to shout and encourage on the field whether skipper or not.But  involving team-mates in these types of allegations should make the captain's role very difficult.However there is no question Terry should be in the England team to play in the World Cup.This is a private matter that has become a masssive media story.Capello is paid a huge salary with winning the World Cup his main aim.He is hardly going to shoot himself in the foot by leaving Terry out.He is not the only current England player to have been involved in bad publicity.Other potential England captains have media form but this is the biggest story yet and it will roll on for a while.Modern spin doctors believe in things blowing over...this one will take longer.Max Clifford and Capello will provide the next platform for different reasons and motives.Capello is strong and impressive.He is his own man and I am confident he will make the right decision.The League Managers Association have inivted me to a dinner for the England boss and Wembley.I look forward  to hearing him speak.Meanwhile I will comment on Capello's decision on Terry as soon as we know it.
