John Terry's England position 'not untenable', claims FA general secretary Alex Horne ahead of racism hearing It limits Roy Hodgson's choices. He has been playing well and done well for England. It was his decision and we respect that. Horne went on to say: "It's something that happened in a match - it shouldn't be taking a year to resolve but we feel we're reaching a conclusion on that. The delay to today's hearing has in part been because of Terry's counsel challenging the make-up of the disciplinary panel. The FA will only have one man on the panel with the rest independents including former Blackburn midfielder Stuart Ripley. Ripley, who now specialises in Sports Law with a particular emphasis on football, advises professional clubs, players and agents on a variety of sporting issues.
