And be replaced by whom.... Heaton, Forster...??

Who would you recommend?

 

Butland will be the long term GK, with Forster pushing him for No1.

If you look at the team/squad that played (ish) in the Euros, then ask who would be a guaranteed starter , plus who is a natural leader = no-one ! 

3 of 4 full backs did ok, no leaders. CB's not certain to start. Dier , very good but not a leader (yet?).  Ali , Lallana , ? No. Strikers, doubt it , and Rooney will struggle to get in when he turns out to be a bit part player at ManYoo. Sam will have to pick the best of a bad bunch or bring in a new face, Drinkwater, Noble? Cahill has as much chance as any but we don't have a Butcher,Robson etc anywhere near the squad.

The whole team was playing like a load of frightened children; why single out Rooney just because he has the armband?

Because his job as captain is mostly leading by example. He bottled it and the rest followed.

Joe Hart - you must be kidding !

All mouth in the tunnel when the cameras are on him and a total pussy on the pitch who's had a dreadful fall in form

Plus if you believe t'internet he also had an injunction out against K Price for private life revelations - so possibly one skeleton !

when there's no obvious candidate and Rooney should be 'retired' then go the Italy route - game by game basis and guy with most caps

 

 

Gonna shout Joe Hart here. Bags of experience, happy to bark from the sticks. No scandals in the closet iirc.

Have we ever had an England goalie as captain?

 

Or as @Red Army Faction says, let the seniors do the democratic thing and vote.
