It could be a Butler masterstroke giving Roberts the vice captaincy.
Unless Frenchy Jean is a dog then Boycie is not going to start too often once Butler ditches the 5 at the back – hopefully a lot earlier than last season.
It’s not uncommon for the most talented footballer of a group to get frustrated with “lesser mortals”. Club vice captaincy which may well morph into team captaincy will surely encourage CR10 to be a bit more supportive of his team mates.
He is confident, positive in his play and he turns up every week. If he can inspire more of these things in the rest of the squad everyone wins.
