John Terry: Lord Triesman says FA right to take away captaincy

Former Football Association chairman Lord Triesman believes the FA had little choice but to strip John Terry of the England captaincy.

Triesman spoke to BBC Radio 5 live:

"I think the decision was inevitable and I'm very pleased and a bit relieved [FA chairman] David Bernstein has taken that decision. The only anxiety I have is it's taken rather too long to get to this point. The truth is a serious allegation [that is] not proved yet. In most organisations it would mean you simply could not go on as you were for this length of time.

I sometimes think football is in a bit of a bubble and the things that happen in the rest of the world don't apply to football. Well, I'm afraid they do".
