New code of conduct gives FA right to sack captain in wake of Terry racism row
The FA’s new code of conduct for players includes the power to strip the England captain of the armband.
And all England stars have been warned that the FA reserve the right to ban them indefinitely from international football without the right of appeal.
Last week the national team’s players were presented with the 16-page A5 booklet that includes 33 dos and don’ts concerning ‘respect’, ‘professionalism’ and ‘communication’ for all representatives of the 24 national teams under the FA’s command.
