Harry's the one: Paul Gascoigne also wants Redknapp to take over

Gascoigne, the star of the 1990 World Cup, jokingly ruled himself out of contention.

'I've had to turn the job down myself because I've got a busy schedule at the moment,' he added.

Meanwhile, former England defender Danny Mills criticised the FA for their handling of the situation and claimed the Euro 2012 campaign will be compromised as a result.

'It think the FA have handled this very badly,' he told Radio Five Live.

'He's obviously decided enough's enough and walked out. He's almost dropped England right in it.

'There's an awful lot of preparation that has gone in it (Euro 2012). It just causes disruption. There will be speculation that people don't need.

'Players will be asked about Capello, the new manager and about John Terry.

'He's justified in his decision. Do England need this leading into a major tournament?'

Mills was also sceptical about whether Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp, the favourite to take over the reins, would be able to juggle the England job with his duties at Spurs.
