I disagree.
If something truly tragic were to happen to Joey Barton, and I mean TRULY tragic, I'd be cool with that.

Oh yeah, the guy is a scummer of the highest order, but if he doesn't like something he speaks out and that's worth a read to me. Especially as he is speaking against Big Man here - which I'd wager no other English player has the balls to do.
anyone seen his latest tweets? he says he will gladly go to jail for a month as it will make him a martyr of free speech. then he admits he didnt see or hear anything terry said yet told the world and jury he was guilty,
what a ****bucket
Fabio Capello has risked the wrath of his employers the Football Association after expressing his disapproval at their decision to strip John Terry of the England captaincy.
In candid interview with Italian state broadcaster Rai 1 Capello has openly backed the Chelsea man, who on Friday learnt he will not captain his country at the European Championship.
"I completely disagree with the FA about the John Terry decision and I have told that to the chairman," said Capello.
"The court will decide. It's going to be civil justice, not sports justice, to decide if John Terry committed that crime that he is accused of.
"I considered and still consider Terry as the England captain. I think we first should wait for the trial conclusion."
Terry is awaiting trial after being accused of racially abusing Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand in a Premier League game which took place in October. The case will be heard on July 9, just days after the end of Euro 2012.
FA chairman David Bernstein contacted the other members of the organisation's 12-strong board on Thursday to seek their views on Terry's captaincy, before informing both the player and Capello of their decision.
"Following the decision to adjourn the court case against John Terry to July, The Football Association confirm he will not captain the England team until the allegations against him are resolved," read a statement released on the FA's official website on Friday.
"The FA Board expected the trial to be concluded prior to the European Championship. Further to Wednesday's confirmation that the trial will not take place until after the tournament, the Board has discussed the matter in detail and has collectively decided it is in the interests of all parties that John has the responsibilities of captaincy removed at this time.
"This decision has been taken due to the higher profile nature of the England captaincy, on and off the pitch, and the additional demands and requirements expected of the captain leading into and during a tournament.
"The FA Board can confirm that he has not been excluded from the squad and that Fabio Capello is free to select him for the Holland fixture on 29 February and the European Championship.
"This decision in no way infers any suggestion of guilt in relation to the charge made against John Terry. The FA will be not be making any further comment on this matter."

SO...
Capello gets canned/resigns and buggers off. 'arry gets a 'Not guilty' verdict and immediately steps in as England manager. Spuds collapse and end up 15th while we take a top 4 slot along with Liverpool and the 2 manc clubs, chavs being beaten to 5th by a resurgent Swansea.
I'd take that.
Hope that the above happens as Harry would get tactically destroyed by any half decent English manager.
The King Is Back.
'Arry to get sent down, hopefully.Originally Posted by MaxPeck

I'd love to see 'Arry as England manager. It would stuff the Spuds and when England are still shit, which we will be, the press will stop bleating about how we need an English manager (which I agree is the ideal but won't change the fact that basically our players aren't as good as we like to think).
Spurs would just then get Capello and still be better than usSO...
