In fact, it was Ferdinand who started the mess in terms of the
designated captaincy until Gary Neville was given that role.
Prior to Ferdinand missing his drug test, he was one of the
frontrunners and was consistently the vice-captain to Keane -
following his suspension, however, the vice-captaincy shifted from
Nistelrooy(well, until he fell out with Fergie) to Scholes and
Giggs on seperate occasions. Clearly, it's an indication that the
current side has few who are of any serious leadership
material...
