Chelsea defender John Terry is close to giving up the job he treasures most in an effort to save squad morale ahead of the World Cup this summer. And that resignation could even come as early as today, as the pressure for him to be sacked continues to grow. Terry values being captain of his country more than anything else, but he recognizes that his actions could have potentially damaged the unity within the national squad. England boss Fabio Capello had been keen to wait to discover the depth of resentment within the rest of the England set-up before making a decision. However, there is a growing feeling that the Italian cannot allow the topic to dominate headlines for the five weeks leading up to England’s next match against Egypt in March. The England coach alone is the one with the power to sack his captain, but Terry is aware he could save Capello such a tough decision by resigning the captaincy himself.
