Chelsea defender Ashley Cole has been advised to quit Twitter after derogatory comments he posted on the social network site risked putting his future with club and country on the line.
Cole labelled the Football Association a “bunch of t***s” on Friday for accusing him of “evolving” his statement supporting John Terry’s defence against the charge he racially abused Anton Ferdinand.
The England left-back swiftly apologised for his remarks but is facing disciplinary action from both Chelsea and the FA, with club boss Roberto Di Matteo confirming on Saturday that the Blues are likely to punish him.
Cole’s place in the Three Lions team has also been brought into question but the player does not believe the incident will negatively impact his international career, though he has now been told to ditch Twitter for good to avoid any further embarrassment.
