Good luck to him and hopefully he does us proud as a commanding CB and leader.Edit: Does Gabby being club captain suggest that Sherwood doesn't expect him to be a regular starter, or just that he sees him as good in the dressing room but not the best leader on the pitch?I've never understood 'club captain'. What's the point, is it just to appease someone who isn't going to be playing a lot as Ryu asked? Nor me.I imagine it is like being Bert Cooper in Mad Men.Captain Emeritus.I am of course devoting the rest of the day to imagining the characters from Mad Men as players/managers. Alex McLeish would be the secretary who runs over the English ad exec's foot with a lawn mower. Not sure who would be the guy who cut off his nipple and presented it to Peggy.

I think that Richards is a good choice; Clark doesn't need the pressure. Club captain is a role that in essence is like the father of the house in the Commons, an official title for not doing much other than having been around a long time.

I think they also get to be pointer-in-chief.
I'm hoping Okore still gets plenty of game time.
