John Terry will not offer to resign as England captain

John Terry will not offer to resign as England captain following allegations of an affair with a team-mate's ex-girlfriend, BBC Sport understands.

England boss Fabio Capello is expected to hold talks with Terry on Friday.
The Football Association has made it clear the Italian alone will decide the 29-year-old Chelsea defender's fate.

Capello has been recovering from knee surgery at his holiday home in Switzerland and will return to London on Thursday.

He has been monitoring the fall-out from the Terry saga closely and has regularly spoken on the telephone to his trusted lieutenant Franco Baldini.

Baldini, England's general manager, held in-depth talks with four key FA board members on Monday - chairman Lord Triesman, chief executive Ian Watmore, director of communications Adrian Bevington and head of development Trevor Brooking.

They agreed that Capello alone would make the decision about Terry's future and that the priority was to make the right decision rather than a quick decision.

This is despite the fact that some members of the FA are eager for the issue to be resolved before England's manager attends the Euro 2012 qualifying draw in Warsaw on Sunday.

If Capello does make a decision before Sunday, it is believed he would then inform the assembled media in the Polish capital.

Terry is alleged to have had an extra-marital affair with Vanessa Perroncel, the former girlfriend of his England team-mate Wayne Bridge.

The French model is being advised by public relations guru Max Clifford, who claims Perroncel has already been offered £250,000 to tell her side of the story.

The possibility of Perroncel making further damaging revelations about Terry in a Sunday newspaper is another reason why Capello may want to wait before making a decision about his skipper.

Does he think hes above everyone or sumin, of course you should hand it over, some bloody role model you are to children. "HEY CHILDREN< WHEN UR OLDER SLEEP BEHIND YOUR WIFES BACK WITH YOUR BEST MATES WIFE AND GET HER PREGNANT", yeh course!

But there is one key word in this report. I don't know the details but it does say allegedly so surely it might not be true? In which case, why the hell should he resign? Lol.

[Andys]

Why should he resign captaincy over a matter that has nothing at all to do with football?

[Jack.Lfc]

Oh do get a grip.

[Meree.]

Why should he resign captaincy over a matter that has nothing at all to do with football?

Kinda agreed.
Although he is supposed to be setting an example for himself, the team and the fans.

''OH KIDS, ONE DAY IF YOU'RE ENGLAND CAPTAIN YOU CAN **** YOUR TEAM MATES MISSUS AND GET AWAY WWITH IT!! WOOP!!!!!!''

Pathetic.

Thing is you wouldn't lose a job in the ordinary world for this. It's his personal life. Don't condone it but has nothing to do with his ability as a captain or footballer.

[TickTockTickTock]

He's a ****, hope his ex wins all his money and leaves him with a gambling and alcohol addiction.

Saturday is gonna be funny, got Hunt to torment and Terry songs to sing. Can't wait for the trip down to the Bridge.
