Adams: "I like Alan a lot, but I would hate to stick him in there because it could destroy him.

"I loved playing against him and he comes across very well on TV, but I wouldn't like to throw him in among the pack of wolves awaiting him if he takes the national job.

"UEFA licences are there for a reason and if Alan gets them, fair play to him, but Marco van Basten had his before he took the Holland job."

To be honest, I couldn't agree more. He would be lined up to be shot at.

The GOALden Boy is legend as a player, not a manager, and what gives him the credentials for the job?

He has never managed a club at any level, and to offer his the biggest job in English football without proving he could do the job at all, is unthinkable.
