'Darling has experience, Wright has potential'
We asked you who should don the skipper's armband for Norwich City should club captain Kenny McLean be Manning elect a young but vocal Jacob Wright? Go for a new voice in Harry Darling? Would captaincy entice Josh Sargent to stay?Here's who got your vote:Gary: Jacob Wright certainly seems to have the pedigree to lead the team. He has quality and intelligence beyond his years. Will be nice to give him the opportunity and think it will improve him Sarge, Wright or Darling for me. I can't imagine McLean will be playing much next season as we are set to purchase a defensive McLean is a huge part of the problem of recent years. He should not be captain on returning. Harry Darling has the experience and Wright has the Jacob Wright should be captain, or possibly Darling. In my opinion, Wright should stay captain even when Kenny returns because he [McLean] was a big part of why Norwich underachieved last season. We should sell Kenny and get in a new CDM who's actually good in that Some good signings, looking forward to this new season. The captain's role should go to Jacob Wright seemed to be captain vs Volendam a few days ago, but I sense Duffy is the likely candidate while McLean is out, given his age and From what I have seen from training and match videos it would be Harry Darling for me. He was barking orders and dishing out rollickings on a regular basis. Seems a natural leader and figure of I would definitely back Jacob Wright to have the armband. Despite only being at the club for half a season, he already seems like someone the squad respects and it feels like he has been here years. Assuming Sargent leaves, the only other alternatives are Jack Stacey or Emi I said last season that I could see Jacob Wright as a potential captain... and I stand by Looking like next captain could be Jacob Wright. Mature beyond his years and looking like a real leader. Otherwise, maybe Harry Darling. Kenny McLean to carry on as club I don't see Sargent staying, however I'd be delighted if this encouraged him to stay yellow and Seems like Jacob Wright will - he's young but he's clearly a leader and someone they are building the team around.

Marine Dept suspends skipper's licence, probes Pulau Perhentian night boat accident that killed three
KUALA TERENGGANU, July 1 — The licence of the skipper of the capsized tourist boat, which claimed three lives last Saturday, has been suspended pending the outcome of the investigation, said Marine Department Eastern Region deputy director Mohamad Halizam Samsuri. He said the boat's licence has also been revoked, as the vessel was found to be severely damaged. A committee has also been formed, under Section 334 of the Merchant Shipping Ordinance 1952, to investigate the tragedy and determine its exact cause, he added. 'The Marine Department has also suspended the boat driver's licence, pending the outcome of the police investigation into the suspected drug abuse offence. 'We will also investigate possible violations of laws or licence conditions. If any are found, stricter action will be taken, including the permanent revocation of the licence,' he said, when met at the Terengganu Marine Department office, today. Meanwhile, Mohamad Halizam also reminded boat operators and passengers to strictly adhere to the regulations stipulated under the licence conditions. He noted that, although the boat's licence remains valid until March next year, there were clear breaches of the law, including operating at night and carrying more passengers than the permitted limit. 'A small boat measuring 7.9 metres is only allowed to carry two crew members and a maximum of 10 passengers. Based on the police statement, none of the passengers were wearing life jackets. The skipper should have been more firm in ensuring that all passengers followed safety regulations,' he said. He added that his department conducts regular inspections of passenger boats, in collaboration with other agencies, including the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) and the Fisheries Department. 'All boat operators must undergo stringent tests before being granted a licence. Likewise, licensed boats must be properly inspected and equipped with adequate safety gear for passengers,' he said. In the 10.30 pm incident on Saturday, S. Arumugam, 40, his three-year-old daughter A. Sarrvihka, and a 10-year-old relative, V. Vennpani, tragically lost their lives. Two others were injured, while 10 passengers survived the tragedy. All the boat passengers, aged between three and 40, were returning from Pulau Perhentian Kecil to Pulau Perhentian Besar after dinner, when their boat was suddenly struck by large waves, causing it to capsize. — Bernama

Fisherman caught in diplomatic row with France breaks silence
A British fishing skipper whose boat was seized by the French has accused them of threatening his livelihood. Phil Parker said the French maritime authorities had seized 200 whelk pots and robbed him of £6,000 of fishing income by impounding his boat The Lady T for six days before releasing it for a bond of €30,000 (£25,200). He also faces a fine of €45,000 Euros (£38,000) on top of the bond if found guilty by a French court of 'non-authorised fishing in French waters' in a non-EU boat. Speaking publicly about the incident for the first time, Mr Parker told The Telegraph he intended to fight the case to the bitter end, claiming he had been only 288 metres into EU waters when his boat was stopped by the French. He has the backing of British fishing industry leaders, who have accused the Labour Government of selling out the British fleet, and said the treatment of the Lady T showed the French were not interested in partnership. The Lady T, based in Eastbourne, East Sussex, was intercepted by the Pluvier, a French navy ship, on May 22 for 'non-authorised fishing in French waters'. Four days later, the vessel, which was accused of fishing for whelks without an External Waters Licence, was allowed to return to Britain following the payment of the 30,000 Euros bond. Mr Parker said he failed to realise that his boat's licence to fish in the waters where he was stopped had not been renewed when he set sail. But he said the French maritime authorities behaved vindictively by impounding his boat rather than letting him off with a warning.
