England defender Danny Rose: Alan Shearer is right, the rest of the world is laughing at us

DANNY ROSE claims Alan Shearer was right to say the rest of the world is laughing at England.

The former Three Lions skipper spoke harshly about the FA and Sam Allardyce after the corruption scandal.

And Tottenham full-back Rose said, “I saw Alan Shearer say English football has become a laughing stock and it’s hard to say but I agree a bit.

"With a manager losing his job after one game, it’s not good in any sense and whatever stance the FA take after the four games, I hope the next England manager will be one for the long term and help us to improve in tournaments.”

Rose insists it is the players' job to clean up the mess after Allardyce left in disgrace after just 67 days in the job and Roy Hodgson axed after an embarrassing defeat to Iceland.

He added: “When Roy lost his job, we were all there together.

"It was a sad experience for me because we all knew at the time and we saw Roy’s face at the time.

"It wasn’t a nice experience and it made us feel guilty, as we should have been because we didn’t beat Iceland.

“There’s only so much stick a manager can take and there has to be a point where the players look at themselves and say, 'It’s not good enough.'

“With Sam, it came from nowhere. I was just thinking, 'Who will it be now?’ I don’t want to say it’s a mess, but it’s not nice for English football.

“Everyone, the players, the manager and all the staff, we’ve got to take it on ourselves to try to lift the opinion of English football over the next few games – starting with a positive performance on Saturday against Malta and then another positive performance against Slovenia.”
