No problem with changing the captaincy now. And no problem with it being announced during the close season. My point is that the publuc announcement should be left to the last possible moment.
Those players' futures are in the melting pot. It's not fair on the players so what has the club got to gain? My wild theory is that they want to push season tickets at season ticket pushing time.
