If I was the England manager and if I could, I would bring back Chris Waddle, Peter Beardsley and Gary Lineker.

That is how much faith I have in the current squad and the pool of fresh talent available.

I am an England fan, and like many England fans I am disillusioned with what I am seeing – there is a lot of making up that England footballers have to do with fans.

The Euros were a new low – we went with a younger squad, including Dele Ali and Harry Kane, but they were equally as poor as the golden generation of Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard.

A Sutton United front: Professional and thorough, Macclesfield had no chance​

I think there is zero interest in this World Cup qualifier against Slovakia come next month, so the first job Sam Allardyce has is to get the supporters back in love with the team - and that will not be easy.

Then it is all about getting players to perform in an England shirt - I don’t know what the answer is – as soon as anyone wears the Three Lions their performance levels drop as much as 20 per cent.

It’s a mind-set thing - that is all it can be.

When it comes to the keeper Joe Hart, Allardyce has other choices – most keepers who have made the mistakes that Hart has made would be replaced.

Fraser Forster deserves a chance, he is the next in line, and he needs to do better than Joe Hart did in the Euros.

I have no sympathy for the top earners who don’t perform and are dropped, they are too busy putting on the aftershave or conditioner – those Liverpool players in the stupid Nivea ads, Hart doing the Head n Shoulders thing, they set themselves up for that fall.

As for the manager – Allardyce has to adapt to international football very quickly because if he loses a couple of games, I cannot see him getting an easy ride from England fans.

Should he have got the job? Probably, given the paucity of choices and those names now out of the frame.

We have lost Glenn Hoddle because of his unusual views some years ago, I think he was perfect for the job and he still makes the most sense when you hear him commentating.

Harry Redkanpp would have been a good England manager, but they went for Roy Hodgson.

Whoops: Roy Hodgson's England crumbled at Euro 2016

Sometimes you look at the choices the FA make and you think there were better options – you could go all the way back to Brian Clough – the greatest manager England never had.

But I am not sure it needs to be an English manager, fans would take anyone as long as they get results in major tournaments.

Sven-Goran Eriksson was a joke, Fabio Capello was a joke – but when you see someone like Antonio Conte’s passion and enthusiasm on the line, and you compare it to Hodgson fingering his nose for most the second half against Iceland and going redder and redder in the face because he did not know what to do – I know what my choice would be.

We all think we could manage the England team, and at the moment we all think we could do a better job.

I just hope, with all my heart, that Allardyce can turn it around.
