"He hasn't got the personality for it."

Allardyce also blamed the psychological barrier and Gary Neville for England's shambolic tournament.

"The players let him down in the end. I think maybe he [Hodgson] was too indecisive.

"You're the manager, you do what you want, not what anyone else wants."
