John Terry Was Made a Pariah by the FA and Owes England Nothing

Here we go again. A new England manager replaces a failed regime and as he bids to lead the country into a new era, but it's John Terry who still dominates the conversation.

According to reports, Sam Allardyce had given serious consideration to including the Chelsea captain in his first Three Lions squad. That was announced on Sunday after the latest round of Premier League fixtures came to an end, with Terry's exclusion showing that Big Sam eventually had other ideas.

The Mirror has gone so far as to suggest that it was The FA's powerbrokers who got cold feet over the idea of a potential recall for Terry.
