Gary Neville should be sacked as England coach and replaced by one of his former international team-mates, says the man himself.

Sol Campbell believes England should replace Neville... with Sol Campbell.

The former England defender played 73 times for England between 1996 and 2007 and was asked by a fan at the Cheltenham Literature Festival what he would do to stop Roy Hodgson's side conceding so many goals.

Campbell's reply was emphatic: "Get rid of Gary Neville and get me in instead.


"I've done all the badges," he went on to explain. "I'm doing my coaching badges with the Welsh FA. I am on the last year of the pro licence.

"Whether I'm going to use it straightaway I'm not too sure. Whether I can use it here I don't know."

Neville, who earned 85 caps for England between 1995 and 2007, also works as a pundit for Sky Sports alongside helping Hodgson - something which has irked many due to his divided commitments.

But it was the issue of the badges which seemed to frustrate Campbell, who says he will look abroad for a coaching post if he is not given one by England.

"The career I have had should warrant me getting a job," he said.

Neville, in fact, does have UEFA A and B coaching licenses to his name.

Campbell was at the festival to talk about a new authorised biography of his life and career.

The former Arsenal and Tottenham defender previously said, very famously, that he should have been England captain because he believed he was the best defender in the world at the peak of his career.

"I had my colour to count against me - I should have captained my country more than three times. I was going toe-to-toe with Beckham and he got the captaincy," he said.

"But I was getting better and better. I became one of the best defenders in the world and then the best defender in the world and captain of my domestic side.

"But the better you get the further away you get (from the England captaincy). To me it's not right," he added.

"David was picked as captain and of course he ticked all the boxes. But what if every country adopted that kind of format? They don't.

Seems to be the ramblings of a deluded twit.
 

So the coaching badges he holds, he isnt even sure if they are valid in England. So its obviously cos he is black.

Can understand his point about the captaincy though.
 

He's a complete and utter bell end. I listened to a 'My Sporting Life' interview on TalkSport out of boredom one and he enraged me with his victim mentality.
 
The man is obsessed with being the victim, beyond even the wildest fantasies of the cultists across the park. He's convinced he can't get anywhere in coaching because he's black, when the truth is it's because he's clearly an utter, utter bell.
 

He only speaks to the media about being on the end of some form of racial discrimination. Anyone who comes out and claims to be the best in the world at what they do not in a tongue in cheek kind of way immediately comes across as a bell.
