Poll: Has Terry made the correct decision after ending England career?
Sep 23, 2012 10:40:00 PM
In the wake of his retirement from international football, on the eve of his hearing in front of an FA disciplinary panel, has the Chelsea man made the right choice?
POLLJohn Terry has announced his retirement from international football on the eve of an FA disciplinary hearing regarding allegations of racially abusing Anton Ferdinand.
Terry won 78 caps for England since making his debut in 2003, scoring six goals as he became a regular in the centre of the Three Lions’ defence.
He played in the 2004 and 2012 European Championships as well as the 2006 and 2010 World Cups, captaining the side on 34 occasions.

In July, he was cleared of similar charges at Westminster Magistrates’ Court, but was charged by the FA just a fortnight later for allegedly using "abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour."
Now, we are asking: has he made the right decision to retire from England duty?
Is he correct to state that his position has become “untenable” because of his impending appearance in front of the FA’s disciplinary panel? Having been found innocent in a court of law, is he right to feel the FA’s pursuance of charges against him undermine his position within the national side?
Or is he incorrect to end his career now, and to feel that he is being forced out of the side by the FA panel? Should he have tried to cope with the scandal, and remain available for selection by manager Roy Hodgson in the long-term?
So, has Terry made the right decision to retire now? Had his position in the England squad become untenable? Or has he made one of the biggest mistakes of his career?

Ayodele Olas (@Olasking) tweeted: "If Mourinho is so good let him take over from Sunderland or QPR and let's see if he can win the Champions League, then I will respect him."
I feel like people complaining that top coaches only take over top clubs are missing the point. Taking over lesser clubs would squash their ambition - just look at Pep Guardiola, going from Barcelona to Bayern Munich.
Azam Nor Edwards (@AzamEdwards) tweeted: "Real Madrid are too big for him. Chelsea only just right club for him I thought."
And Chelsea are favourites to swoop him back up, though Paris Saint-Germain,officially managerless Manchester City and Monaco are all outside contenders.

Florentino Perez also addressed Real Madrid's approach for Paris Saint-Germain coach Carlo Ancelotti: "I want to express my utmost respect for the PSG and their owners. A few days ago, the CEO went to the PSG to see whether it was possible that he could come and they said no. That is an issue that we will address tomorrow, we have a few days to think on it. There are several candidates [not just Ancelotti]."

The Florentino Perez press conference is complete. There will undoubtedly be a few straggling quotes knocking about which I've yet to put in here, I'll keep a look out.
In the meantime, get in touch on Twitter to have your say on whether you think sacking Jose Mourinho was the right choice by Real Madrid!
