It's not about the handshake....



So Wayne Bridge didn't shake John Terry's hand.
Who's right and who's wrong? The debate will go on for a long time.

One thing's for sure though -nothing changes until something changes.
Wayne's emotional scars run deep. He has an axe to grind.
When people you trust let you down, it's a shock to the system -especially if you didn't see it coming.
He is angry, upset, let down, and humiliated.

John Terry will want to move on, put the whole thing behind him and try and make amends - for the sake of his family, his career - and himself. But that won't happen until Wayne allows it to.

The handshake is the physical demonstration (or not in this case) of respect, warmth and friendship. This very visual (in view of thousands) non display - says 'keep away'.

What Wayne needs badly - and now - is support to deal with his torment, guidance to overcome his anger and encouragement to rise above what is an awful situation for him. He can emerge stronger, wiser and the real winner. And if he gets into the right mindset-that of a true sports professional - he will put himself back in his rightful place as a worthy player for England in the World Cup. And he will have the whole country behind him.

In the right frame of mind - he will be extremely - and in a positive way - dangerous.
Feisty players win games.

So, Wayne, Mr. Mancini, or indeed Mr. Capello. Act quickly, and get in touch.
It's not about the handshake-it's much more than that.
