We could not go into Euro 2012 with the captain awaiting trial for racially abusing another player, it would be disruptive, there was reportedly large discontent amongst the England players, and if we somehow fluked our way to the trophy there would be the risk of someone who was about to be convicted for racial abuse being forever associated with the imagery of the title. It just wasn't a realistic prospect.
couldn't agree more
