Readers back Gerrard for England captaincy

Submitted by Andrew Slevison on Sun, 02/07/2010 - 23:39

In a recent poll conducted on tribalfootball.com, readers prefer Liverpool’s Steven Gerrard for the captaincy role rather than Manchester United’s Rio Ferdinand who replaced John Terry during the week.

England manager Fabio Capello stripped Terry of the mantle after news emerged over his affair with ex-Chelsea teammate Wayne Bridge’s former girlfriend and immediately installed Ferdinand to lead the Three Lions.

But tribalfootball.com readers believe Gerrard would be a better leader for the nation to compete in sport’s biggest tournament which kicks off in June this year.

The Reds midfielder so far has 65% of votes compared with Ferdinand’s 35%.

Vote for who you think should be England skipper at the bottom of tribalfootball.com’s homepage.

Sick Konto_kuda, if u think u r gd enough why is the need to employ an Italian (Capello) to become England coach? Leave the decision to Capello since he is the right man who knows what is happening in the dressing room. He who trains and coach the England team knows little Than U (wat a joke). As for Rio not being captain for United does not mean he cannot be captain of England.United have better Captain in Gary and Rio has more Experience than Gerrard. Gerrard may be a good captain 4 LooserFools but Capello knows LITTLE than u (hahahahahaha).If u still want Gerrard 2b captain ask him to play on his own ALONE.By the way we need Captain just to lead the players on the field. U can have 11 captains on the field but only 1 can wear the ARMBAND (Do U Understand,Idiot???)
