England Under-21 manager Stuart Pearce does not want a 'witch hunt' of John Terry after the recent revelations regarding his private life.
Chelsea and England captain Terry has been the subject of great media attention after it was revealed he allegedly had an affair with the ex-girlfriend of England team-mate Wayne Bridge.
The story has dominated the front and back pages in recent days, and the 29-year-old centre-half received a hostile reception from Burnley fans whilst playing for the Blues at the weekend, and from Hull City fans on Tuesday night.
Many have argued that Terry's position as England captain is now untenable, although Three Lions boss Fabio Capello has yet to make an announcement on the issue.
The Italian tactician is expected to have a meeting with Terry on Thursday or Friday, and while Pearce says the final decision rests with Capello, he is keen to avoid a 'witch hunt'.
"Fabio will certainly be wanting to be a dominant voice," he told Sky Sports.
"I couldn't see anyone else going above Fabio and making statements or decisions in respect to who captains the side above Fabio, I can't see that happening.
"I think the last decision should always be the manager's decision on whatever goes on.
"The one thing I would say is John Terry is a fantastic captain, in footballing terms on and off the pitch I think he is a selfless professional and his form is fantastic for his country.
"So I'm not a big lover of witch hunts of people which I'm afraid our country tends to follow a little bit these days.
"The bottom line is John, his family and everyone concerned in the matter - it's a matter for those people and not the likes of other people who haven't got a vested interest in what goes on."
Correct me if I'm wrong but every thing this cunt has done has been related to football.
