Warnock - I could manage England
Hoops boss feels England need more excitement in their game
QPR boss Neil Warnock believes he could manage England more effectively than Fabio Capello, but feels his 'sense of humour' rules him out of the running for the post.
"I could do the England job, no problem. But there's not a cat in hell's chance of them giving me the job because I've got a sense of humour. "
Neil Warnock Quotes of the week
Speculation is rife over who will succeed Italian coach Capello when he steps down after Euro 2012, with the Football Association having suggested they would prefer an Englishman to take over the role.
Warnock, who has secured seven promotions over a 30-year managerial career, believes he could inspire the enthusiasm he feels the Three Lions are lacking under their current boss.
But despite his experience, the 62-year-old believes it is his personality which puts him out of the frame.
"I could do the England job, no problem," Warnock told the Daily Mail. "But there's not a cat in hell's chance of them giving me the job because I've got a sense of humour."
He added: "If QPR were top two or three at Christmas then maybe they would start thinking of me, but the FA will give it to whoever is fashionable or flavour of the month at the time.
"The problem with the job is that half the country would want you, half would say you don't have any international experience, half would say I've got seven promotions and half would say it doesn't count."
Despite England qualifying for Euro 2012, the national side are still coming under fire, and Warnock believes criticisms of a lack of excitement in their game are accurate.
The Hoops boss feels an English manager would be able to motivate the players to reignite some much-needed enthusiasm.
"I don't enjoy watching a team that takes 25 passes to get to the halfway line, it's not excitement," he said.
"At the moment we see tippy-tappy football with passes across the back four because players are afraid to make a mistake. Enjoy it lads, that's why you're out there.
"I'm a fan at heart and I like to be in a stadium where there are "oohs" and "aahs", keepers making saves, headers, chances and corners.
"That's excitement, sending people away happy and believing they have just seen something that gets the blood pumping. I'm not sure people walk away from Wembley after an international feeling the same way."
Passion
He added: "An Englishman could get far more passion and enthusiasm from England's players than Fabio Capello.
"The dressing room would have more understanding. England's players don't look as though they enjoy playing for England and I can't understand that.
"There is no humour in that dressing room and as good a manager as Fabio Capello is meant to be, it's difficult to motivate players and get more out of them if you don't have a sense of humour."
