Captain for next season?

It has to be Parker doesn't it. Oldest more expierenced player. Be a better captain than Hangeland ever was.

I'd rather Stockdale - he encapsulates the attitude and personality the team needs, going forward. Committed, hard working, level headed.

He also has experience of a promotion campaign, is a senior player at the club (longest servant, i think), and was chosen as a starter because of his commanding influence over those around him (as highlighted by Felix).

stocko please

love his passion and enthusiasm


JackyFulham90

would like it to be Stockdale.
Think it will be Parker though he is the obvious choice

Blanco

I also think Stockdale would be a great captain. I can see Magath giving the armband to Parker though.

Forever Fulham

Bryan Ruiz and David Stockdale, co-captains.

I don't like a keeper as captain. He's not in a position to lead/encourage/criticize except on the defensive end. Ideally, a mid is best. I see Parker as a leader of sorts but can he keep up with the youngsters? 
Its not that I could and others couldn't.
Its that I did and others didn't.

Are we talking about the same quiet as mouse David Stockdale who can't even command/shout at his back 4? Madness, the guy is a million miles away from being captain material.

Agree I like a player on the field to be the captain instead of a goalie.
Anyone can blend into the crowd.  How will you standout when it counts?


Blanco

I thought Stockdale was quite verbal. What about Dan Burn? He shouted at the players quite a bit. Still young though.

Forever Fulham

They have to respect you as a player to be able to lead them.  After this World Cup--Bryan Ruiz.

I'm gonna go outside the box here and say, even though he's only 22, I wouldn't mind seeing Dan Burn as captain
@MattRhys63 - be warned, there will be a lot of nonsense

Burn would be my second choice.

Seems a natural leader and should be one of the first names on the team sheet.

Whether Felix views him as such an important feature of the squad, I'm not sure.

Think Burn could do the job in future but want more experience first.

If we sign McCormack then maybe give it to him, he had it at Leeds for a reason or have a look at the other new players that sign before the window shuts

I always thought a goalkeeper was on the field ;-)

Only one man for me, can't give it to anyone but Parker

Most Leeds fans agree Ross got the Captaincy to keep him at the club; not much to do with his personality.

Plus, it didn't do them much good - they were awful last year! Save for Ross, of course.
