Next year's captain

[Yarrgh]

Ash Williams. I'd love to see him bloated and in a mumu like Homer Simpson when he tried to gain loads of weight to be able to work from home. He could shout at people from the expanded dug out whilst he scoffed pizza and guzzled ale. Probably hoist him out at half time with a fork lift truck to give rousing speeches at half time in the dressing room. Don't have to play to captain this team. Inspirational, and lets be honest, no one is going to take him off our hands so I think we need to put him to use somehow, especially if Big Scam goes before all the excess gravy has been consumed.

Or Seamus Coleman.

Coleman is the absolute stand out candidate.

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

Seamus without a doubt. He's already been captain of Ireland.

Coleman is the obvious choice, with Rooney as backup.

Do all captains act like Steven Gerrard, though? Because let's face it, that's why you lot all hate Jags, isn't it? It's because he isn't like Gerrard. You hate Jagielka because he's not screaming at referees or making grandiose speeches about how he won't let things slip. Gerrard was the captain everyone wishes their team's captain could be.

A captain represents what the club stands for. He drives players on. A captain has the right to bollix his players on and off the pitch if necessary.

We havent had one for 5 years. Hence total lack of leadership.

They’re just soundbites. A captain is a token figure head. A bit of geeing up by a man who can shout has no real long term benefit

Most captains don't do anything except wear the armband. Does Vincent Kompany yell at players off the pitch? Michael Carrick? Whoever the goons' captain is?

Ashley Williams is good at shouting at people and bossing them around, but he is also rubbish.
