fuchsntf Posted 22 July 2014 Share Posted 22 July 2014 We've had good thread/posts mentioning Gerrards Retirement. But who is now upto it.!!!! Who is/are your choices for England captain.???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_w Posted 22 July 2014 Share Posted 22 July 2014 I don't think we should bother appointing a captain, it won't make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purpleronnie Posted 22 July 2014 Share Posted 22 July 2014 Maybe we should just rotate the captaincy like Italy do, but that won't happen we give far too much credence to the captaincy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never really understood why it's such a big deal. It's not like cricket where the captain is integral to how the team play/are positioned throughout the match.

Captain... Posted 22 July 2014 Share Posted 22 July 2014 Alistair Cook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon the Hat Posted 22 July 2014 Share Posted 22 July 2014 Rotate it. If not then Joe Hart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MattP Posted 22 July 2014 Share Posted 22 July 2014 Fcuking hell, imagine wanting to go for a chat with your captain and having to explain your problems to an overgrown illiterate chimp? Maybe the FA and ECB are having a captain off to see who can wind up the press and fans more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain... Posted 22 July 2014 Share Posted 22 July 2014 Maybe we should just rotate the captaincy like Italy do, but that won't happen we give far too much credence to the captaincy. How does it actually work in Italy then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the nail. I agree Hodgson should go out, and say Hes going to leave it open until the Europen championship qualification has been confirmed, and then see further. Neither in Football nor cricket, do you play individually good or bad because who you captain is. In cricket, the bowlers may be more reliant on a descision of the day. Footballer couldnt give a toss, (rightly so).!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkon84 Posted 22 July 2014 Share Posted 22 July 2014 How does it actually work in Italy then? I could be wrong, but doesn't it just simply go to the most capped player? It's just an armband after all. The Italian view is that they are all professionals and should be capable of leading on the pitch in their own ways.

Fair enough, that would be Rooney then, but then it eliminates the whole undroppable aspect of the captain. The only reason Hart is being mentioned is that he is probably the most likely to be an ever present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MattP Posted 22 July 2014 Share Posted 22 July 2014 Has another country ever appointed as big an oaf as this to the national captaincy? Here's another thing we do wrong that Spain, Italy, Holland, Germany etc don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adster Posted 22 July 2014 Share Posted 22 July 2014 I personally think Gary Cahill should get it. But knowing England and the FA Hodgson will give it to bloody Rooney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trav Le Bleu Posted 22 July 2014 Share Posted 22 July 2014 Alistair Cook I was really hoping this was with regards to him doing a u-turn on not resigning. I think Boycott was spot on in saying he's just being selfish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pride_Of_The_Midlands Posted 22 July 2014 Share Posted 22 July 2014 Maybe we should just rotate the captaincy like Italy do, but that won't happen we give far too much credence to the captaincy. ? Buffon is the captain of Italy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKCJ Posted 22 July 2014 Share Posted 22 July 2014 ? Buffon is the captain of Italy. Yeah we should follow their magnificent example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 22 July 2014 Share Posted 22 July 2014 Most people choose their most capped player as the captain...everyone says we should copy them. That'll be Rooney then. The person no one wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandad. Posted 22 July 2014 Share Posted 22 July 2014 Hart for me. Rooney has been close to being dropped for a while, giving him the captaincy will completely neglect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tielemans63 Posted 24 July 2014 Share Posted 24 July 2014 I'd go for Hart as well. Seems to have a great attitude, came across as the most patriotic player in Brazil and is a good communicator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
