ooooh controversy (yes footy)

I would make Warren Barton 1st team Captain - leaves the big man to concentrate on his game and Wazza, I believe is a better team builder than Big Al (let him be the henchman).

TM,
Wazza would make a decent captain - as did RL - but it ain't gonna happen.
It seems to me the rest of the players have every respect for AS and would not expect him to be stripped of the captaincy. Accordingly, there's no way BR is going to risk any disharmony or unpleasantness, or p*ssing off his main striker, over this issue.

I always think that a defender would make a better captain, There is no way that Shearer would be stripped of his captaincy so perhaps we should be thinking about who should be the next captain in 3 or 4 years time. Would not Aaron Hughes be a strong candidate?

Aaron Hughes - excellent future candidate - the Frank Clarke (splg - sorry) of the next decade.

I agree with Aaron Hughes as a future captain,. but at the moment why not go the way Keegan did.....have Al as the CLUB captain, and Barton as the FIRST TEAM captain.

Best of both worlds and no one laoses any face surely.
