Capello to meet with FA over Terry remarks

Fabio Capello is expected to meet Football Association chairman David Bernstein as the fallout over the England captaincy continues.

The FA axed John Terry as captain after his trial for allegedly racially abusing QPR defender Anton Ferdinand was delayed until July, after the Euro 2012 finals have finished.

With England competing in the tournament it was decided that the Chelsea skipper should be removed from his post although he can still be picked in the squad.

However, Capello, who had removed Terry as captain in February 2010 before re-instating him, voiced his frustrations on Italian radio.

When asked whether he had agreed with the FA’s decision to axe Terry he replied: “No, absolutely not.”

“I have spoken to the chairman and I have said that, in my opinion, one cannot be punished until it’s official and the court – a non-sporting court, a civil court – has made a decision to decide if John Terry has done what he has been accused of.”

“I thought it was right that Terry should keep the captain’s armband.”

Capello is to now meet Bernstein in person to discuss the situation with the suggestion that his tenure could come to an end on Wednesday as they look to resolve their differences over the issue.
