I don’t like goalkeepers as captain but he is town through and through now, so good luck Macca.

Club captain or on pitch skipper?


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Would rather have an outfield captain but understand why. Wish him all the best and hope that there’s enough leadership around the pitch.

Wondering if Hendrie will wear the arm band as he's the vice captain...
In all honesty I don't really think it matters who's wearing the arm band during open play, I'd expect the more experienced players to take it upon themselves and show leadership skills and get into the players who aren't performing...

Its very well timed good PR from the club isn't it *cough cough*. But in all seriousness though it should of been Macca as soon as Dizza left


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number and he asked me: What's an IQ? - George Best

Not a good idea, in my opinion.
Whilst James has to be respected, surely there is an outfield player who could do the job well, other than the toss of the coin before the start.
We've had some admirable captains, especially from midfield, Joe Waters and Paul Groves to name two.
This, to me, is a strange decision, to add to my doubts about MJ.

It's just an armband really, a ceremonial piece of cloth.

You'll still have natural leaders and those who follow, both on and off the pitch.  As long as the balance is there in the squad it doesn't really matter who tosses a coin with the referee at the start of the game.

That said, nice and fitting for McKeown to get the nod.  

With Hendrie getting the vote as the deputy, I wonder if the talk about Davis leaving/wanting to leave still has legs.  Would have fancied Jolley picking him for one of the roles otherwise.
