Terry pays for making the wrong headlines

JOHN TERRY has been sensationally sacked as England captain.

Fabio Capello delivered the news at a brief meeting inside Wembley Stadium yesterday after summoning the 29-year-old to a meeting to discuss the lurid headlines of the past week.

In confirming the decision, and installing Rio Ferdinand as replacement, Capello cited “what is best for all the England squad”, a clear reference to Terry’s one-time Chelsea team-mate Wayne Bridge, who has been left shattered by allegations of an affair between his former friend and ex-girlfriend Vanessa Perroncel.
