Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy has given his verdict on the England manager situation: "I feel more sad than embarrassed by it. It's sad that the game and our nation is being looked upon in this way. 

"It just seems to continue, if you go back to what happened to Glenn Hoddle. Even the football aspect, Steve McClaren, Graham Taylor... Which manager of great experience and calibre would want the job? 

"We're in turmoil because of lots of different things. I'm certainly not going to condone what Sam has done because he has been foolish and stupid and jeopardised the best opportunity of his career but, overall, the job and what it brings is horrendous. 

"It's a big shame. I do think he was the right choice at this particular time and now we have to start again."
