I have a feeling Fabio Capello is in close consultation with Carlo Ancelotti regarding John Terry. If so, this is a refreshing change from the history of bad blood which began when Ancelotti was a player in Capello’s Milan squad.
Terry is being given enough slack by his manager to straighten out his personal life. If he and his wife Toni Poole can attain some closure then the moral recriminations will fade. There appears to be a consensus in the England camp that Terry is just too invaluable as a leader to be thrown under the bus. I think Capello will monitor those developments with input from Ancelotti to gauge Terry’s level of imvolvement in the club. Friday is when Terry meets with Capello to decide whether he gets to keep the captaincy. .
