The Under-21s lost all three of their group games, scoring only once en route, and went out of the competition at the first hurdle, with the FA having now decided it is time for a change at the top.The former Manchester City manager will leave his post on 30 June, with the FA now to start the process of finding a successor. Both Southgate and Appleton are expected to declare an interest and feature highly in its thoughts.Southgate, the former Middlesbrough manager who is currently working as a TV pundit, is the former head of elite development at the FA and played a major role in the conception and implementation of the Elite Player Performance Plan (EPPP) for youth football before leaving the post almost a year ago. He is now apparently ready to return to management and, given his knowledge and background, would potentially be able to build better relations with clubs to secure the release of their young talent.The senior manager, Roy Hodgson, would be receptive to working with Southgate but also enjoys a close relationship with Appleton, whose fledgling managerial career has already taken in short spells with Portsmouth, Blackpool and Blackburn Rovers. Indeed, Hodgson had been impressed with Appleton as a young coach at West Bromwich Albion Albion, where the 37-year-old also worked with Dan Ashworth, who has recently taken up the role of director of elite development at the FA.Other potential candidates include Phil Neville, a member of Pearce's coaching staff in Israel, and Peter Taylor, who is currently enjoying a short-term stint as manager of the Under-20s. Glenn Hoddle, mooted as a possibility for the role, has indicated he would be interested only if the current national set-up was overhauled.The Club England board will now deliberate ahead of making an appointment and, while there may be a friendly in August, the side are not due to play a competitive fixture until their next qualifying campaign kicks off in September."It is important the organisation now considers the best approach for the role of Under-21 coach and how this works best within the overall England structure before making any new appointment," said the FA chairman, David Bernstein, who will be replaced by Dyke next month. "I'd like to thank Stuart Pearce for his hard work. Nobody can doubt his commitment to the job throughout his time as Under-21 coach."He has done extremely well in qualifying for finals tournaments, but after the disappointment of the past two tournaments, we believe it is time to change coach. On behalf of everyone at the FA, I'd like to wish Stuart well for the future."Despite an excellent record in qualification, and having reached the final of the European Championships in 2009 where they lost to Germany, Pearce won only three of his 15 games at major tournaments. His side, albeit depleted with key personnel absent in Israel, lost to Italy, Norway and the hosts to return home pointless.Stuart PearceEngland Under-21sDominic Fifieldguardian.co.uk © 2013 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

The 34-year-old Manchester United defender says he could have answered the England manager Roy Hodgson's call but instead chose to extend his playing career.Ferdinand told the Sunday Sun: "Basically, I could play for another three or four years – or play two or three games for England and be finished in a year. It wasn't a contest."I couldn't sacrifice my fitness for the sake of a few more England caps. It would not have been fair on United, it would have been a disservice to the club and to England."Ferdinand also claimed that he considered quitting the game when Sir Alex Ferguson announced his retirement. "Sir Alex leaving did make me think: 'Is it time for me to go too?'" he added.The centre-back also revealed just how much his chronic back injury affected him. "Two or three years ago people were saying I was finished and I remember those dark days," he said. "I was in a depressive state, I will admit that. They weren't easy times and I couldn't play to the highest standard. You think negative thoughts. I had 18 months of being injured on and off."He said his two sons, Lorenz and Tate, had been the decisive factor. "My two boys are desperate to watch me playing for Manchester United. That was a big factor. They were being asked at school what was happening with me. They were coming home and saying, 'You aren't leaving are you, Dad? We want to see you playing for United.' It is only now they are properly getting into football. They are six and four and I want them to be able to remember me in a United shirt."Rio FerdinandEnglandManchester Unitedguardian.co.uk © 2013 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

Although Pearce has spoken of his desire to continue, England's dismal performances at the European Championship in Israel, where they finished bottom of their group after losing all three matches, have increased the pressure on the Football Association to make a change.The decision will be made by the Club England management board, with Greg Dyke, who will officially replace David Bernstein as FA chairman next month, involved in the discussions. Roy Hodgson, who watched the England Under-21 side lose against Norway and Israel, will also be consulted.Pearce defended his record after Tuesday's humiliating 1-0 defeat against Israel, by pointing to the four successive finals England have qualified for under his watch and saying that there needed to be "some middle ground" when his position is considered. He has, however, won only three of 15 tournament matches in normal time and, privately, is understood to be resigned to the fact that he is unlikely to be given the chance to carry on.Gareth Southgate, the former Middlesbrough manager, Peter Taylor, who has had two previous spells in charge of the Under-21s and will look after the Under-20s at the World Cup in Turkey this month, and Michael Appleton, who previously worked under Hodgson at West Bromwich Albion and remains close to the England coach, are the early frontrunners for the position. Paul Clement, who worked under Carlo Ancelotti at Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, is another possible candidate.In the wake of losing against Israel, Pearce refused to defend his players and said that they should take responsibility for their poor performances.Danny Rose, the Tottenham Hotspur full-back, and Jack Butland, the Stoke City goalkeeper, agreed with the manager's assessment and described the team's results as "embarrassing"."We haven't performed as well as we could have done, certainly not as good as we played in the qualifying stages," Rose said. "I know the players have been getting a bit of stick but I'd like to think we are all in it together. We were when we were winning, so we all should be when we are losing. It's very disappointing and very embarrassing."Asked whether the players had let Pearce down, Rose replied: "Definitely. He has put his trust in a lot of players, especially me. We don't know if this is going to be his last game, so to not win and not get a point is a real let down for him. That's what we have done."Although Rose said that expectation levels at home were unrealistic, he acknowledged the results in Israel were unacceptable. "I don't know why people automatically expect England to be contending for these competitions and winning them. We last won the World Cup in 1966 so I don't know why people put this expectation on England at all. But there is no excuse for not winning a game."Butland was at a loss to explain why an England team that came into the tournament on the back of nine straight victories had looked so abject. "We are embarrassed, we haven't done ourselves justice. We are a lot better than this but we can't keep saying this. We haven't proved it and we can only wonder why," Butland said."There is no one else to blame [but the players]. We were on the pitch, I hope [Stuart Pearce] stays in the job. He works extremely hard and does everything necessary to make sure we are successful."England Under-21sStuart PearceThe FARoy HodgsonStuart Jamesguardian.co.uk © 2013 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

Who is to blame?As the manager, Stuart Pearce has to accept responsibility for three dismal performances. The players, so woeful throughout, also have to take their share of the blame. There is, however, a much bigger picture to address.What we have seen in Israel highlights just how shallow the talent pool is in English football, which is not entirely surprising when the Premier League is so focused on commercial success, the clubs have little interest in the national team, managers are too worried about the next result to think about giving young players a chance, and there is a chronic shortage of highly qualified coaches.2. How does the Football Association come out of all this?Very badly. How does it look when the Under-21 manager is saying one thing – "we need our best players" – and Roy Hodgson, the senior coach, holds a completely different view and believes it is more important for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to be a substitute in a friendly? That disconnect points to a complete breakdown in communication at the top level within the FA and the absence of a clear strategy when it comes to tournament football.3. Is it time for Pearce to go?In a word, yes. Pearce defended his record in the wake of the Israel defeat, by pointing out England are the only nation to qualify for the last four European Championships. What he omitted to mention is that across that period they have won only three of 15 tournament matches in normal time and in the last two finals they have failed to get out of the group stage. The results and performances in Israel, where England looked tactically and technically inept, were the final nail in the coffin for Pearce.4. Who should get the job?A coach who has a proven track record in working with elite players. Someone like Paul Clement, Carlo Ancelotti's first-team coach at Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, would be ideal. René Meulensteen, the Manchester United coach, is another excellent candidate. But would Clement, Meulensteen – or any other top coach, for that matter – want to work for the FA and take a job that is hardly seen as a progressive career move? Another option is Glenn Hoddle but it is hard to see the FA being brave enough to go down that path. We are more likely to see Gareth Southgate, Peter Taylor or Michael Appleton appointed.5. Did anyone in the England Under-21 squad come out of the finals with any credit?Nathan Redmond, the Birmingham City winger who had never played at this level before, produced a few promising moments, and Andre Wisdom, whom Pearce believes should be England's Under-21 captain for the next two years, could not be faulted for his display against Israel. Otherwise it is hard to think of anyone who did themselves justice.6. Who was the biggest disappointment?Jonjo Shelvey would have to be near the top of the list. The Liverpool midfielder used the ball poorly, showed little inclination to work for the team and generally gave the impression that the tournament was getting in the way of his summer plans. Wilfried Zaha, who spent much of the Israel game running into cul-de-sacs, was another who fell well short of what Pearce would have expected. Some of the individual performances were so bad that it is little wonder some England players questioned whether a few of their team-mates wanted to be in Israel. That accusation could never be levelled at Jack Butland but the 20-year-old goalkeeper was below his best. Connor Wickham and Nathaniel Clyne also struggled.7. What has happened to Josh McEachran?Once hailed as one of the brightest talents in English football, McEachran has badly lost his way since breaking through at Chelsea under Ancelotti. The season before last he barely kicked a ball during a loan spell at Swansea, and in 2012-13 his form faded while on loan at Middlesbrough. Pearce played McEachran out of position when he came on as a substitute, on the left flank, in the Italy match, but even when the 20-year-old was deployed more centrally against Israel he made little impact. He is neat and tidy in possession but too often the game seems to take place around him. Age is on his side but there are now genuine doubts about whether he will become the player we hoped he would be. Another season-long loan in the Championship beckons.8. Who has worn an England shirt for the last time?Jason Steele, Declan Rudd, Clyne, Adam Smith, Steven Caulker, Craig Dawson, Tom Lees, Jordan Henderson, Jason Lowe, Danny Rose, Henri Lansbury, Nathan Delfouneso and Marvin Sordell are no longer eligible for the Under-21s. In truth, the majority of them are unlikely to ever pull on an English shirt again. Caulker and Henderson, who have both represented the senior England team under Hodgson, will need stellar seasons behind them to have any chance of being on the plane to Rio next year.9. Is there any fresh hope before the next Under-21 campaign?Of the 23-man squad here, Butland, Wisdom, Jack Robinson, Nathaniel Chalobah, McEachran, Zaha, Tom Ince, Shelvey, Redmond and Wickham are all eligible to play for the Under-21s again. As are Phil Jones, Jack Wilshere and Oxlade-Chamberlain, although there is more chance of Pearce staying on as manager than that trio going to the finals in the Czech Republic in 2015. The Southampton left-back Luke Shaw and the Liverpool winger Raheem Sterling, both of whom pulled out of the original squad for Israel, are likely to feature for the Under-21s next season. Sam Byram at Leeds and Chelsea's highly-rated Lewis Baker and Ruben Loftus-Cheek could be among the new faces.10. Will St George's Park, the national football centre, and the Elite Player Performance Plan (EPPP) prevent a repeat of what we have seen in Israel?The idea is that St George's Park will help to increase the number, as well as improve the standard, of coaches coming through, which is something the FA has neglected for years, leaving us well behind France, Italy, Germany and Spain. As for EPPP, the top clubs will have greater access to, and be able to spend more time with, the best young players. But speak to academy coaches and directors and most of them will say the same thing: the biggest problem is that there are so few pathways for a young English player to break into his club's first team. And that is something which it is hard to see changing.England Under-21sStuart PearceStuart Jamesguardian.co.uk © 2013 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

The Under-21s lost all three of their group games, scoring only once en route, and went out of the competition at the first hurdle, with the FA having now decided it is time for a change at the top.The former Manchester City manager will leave his post on 30 June, with the FA now to start the process of finding a successor. Both Southgate and Appleton are expected to declare an interest and feature highly in its thoughts.Southgate, the former Middlesbrough manager who is currently working as a TV pundit, is the former head of elite development at the FA and played a major role in the conception and implementation of the Elite Player Performance Plan (EPPP) for youth football before leaving the post almost a year ago. He is now apparently ready to return to management and, given his knowledge and background, would potentially be able to build better relations with clubs to secure the release of their young talent.The senior manager, Roy Hodgson, would be receptive to working with Southgate but also enjoys a close relationship with Appleton, whose fledgling managerial career has already taken in short spells with Portsmouth, Blackpool and Blackburn Rovers. Indeed, Hodgson had been impressed with Appleton as a young coach at West Bromwich Albion Albion, where the 37-year-old also worked with Dan Ashworth, who has recently taken up the role of director of elite development at the FA.Other potential candidates include Phil Neville, a member of Pearce's coaching staff in Israel, and Peter Taylor, who is currently enjoying a short-term stint as manager of the Under-20s. Glenn Hoddle, mooted as a possibility for the role, has indicated he would be interested only if the current national set-up was overhauled.The Club England board will now deliberate ahead of making an appointment and, while there may be a friendly in August, the side are not due to play a competitive fixture until their next qualifying campaign kicks off in September."It is important the organisation now considers the best approach for the role of Under-21 coach and how this works best within the overall England structure before making any new appointment," said the FA chairman, David Bernstein, who will be replaced by Dyke next month. "I'd like to thank Stuart Pearce for his hard work. Nobody can doubt his commitment to the job throughout his time as Under-21 coach."He has done extremely well in qualifying for finals tournaments, but after the disappointment of the past two tournaments, we believe it is time to change coach. On behalf of everyone at the FA, I'd like to wish Stuart well for the future."Despite an excellent record in qualification, and having reached the final of the European Championships in 2009 where they lost to Germany, Pearce won only three of his 15 games at major tournaments. His side, albeit depleted with key personnel absent in Israel, lost to Italy, Norway and the hosts to return home pointless.Stuart PearceEngland Under-21sDominic Fifieldguardian.co.uk © 2013 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

The 34-year-old Manchester United defender says he could have answered the England manager Roy Hodgson's call but instead chose to extend his playing career.Ferdinand told the Sunday Sun: "Basically, I could play for another three or four years – or play two or three games for England and be finished in a year. It wasn't a contest."I couldn't sacrifice my fitness for the sake of a few more England caps. It would not have been fair on United, it would have been a disservice to the club and to England."Ferdinand also claimed that he considered quitting the game when Sir Alex Ferguson announced his retirement. "Sir Alex leaving did make me think: 'Is it time for me to go too?'" he added.The centre-back also revealed just how much his chronic back injury affected him. "Two or three years ago people were saying I was finished and I remember those dark days," he said. "I was in a depressive state, I will admit that. They weren't easy times and I couldn't play to the highest standard. You think negative thoughts. I had 18 months of being injured on and off."He said his two sons, Lorenz and Tate, had been the decisive factor. "My two boys are desperate to watch me playing for Manchester United. That was a big factor. They were being asked at school what was happening with me. They were coming home and saying, 'You aren't leaving are you, Dad? We want to see you playing for United.' It is only now they are properly getting into football. They are six and four and I want them to be able to remember me in a United shirt."Rio FerdinandEnglandManchester Unitedguardian.co.uk © 2013 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

Although Pearce has spoken of his desire to continue, England's dismal performances at the European Championship in Israel, where they finished bottom of their group after losing all three matches, have increased the pressure on the Football Association to make a change.The decision will be made by the Club England management board, with Greg Dyke, who will officially replace David Bernstein as FA chairman next month, involved in the discussions. Roy Hodgson, who watched the England Under-21 side lose against Norway and Israel, will also be consulted.Pearce defended his record after Tuesday's humiliating 1-0 defeat against Israel, by pointing to the four successive finals England have qualified for under his watch and saying that there needed to be "some middle ground" when his position is considered. He has, however, won only three of 15 tournament matches in normal time and, privately, is understood to be resigned to the fact that he is unlikely to be given the chance to carry on.Gareth Southgate, the former Middlesbrough manager, Peter Taylor, who has had two previous spells in charge of the Under-21s and will look after the Under-20s at the World Cup in Turkey this month, and Michael Appleton, who previously worked under Hodgson at West Bromwich Albion and remains close to the England coach, are the early frontrunners for the position. Paul Clement, who worked under Carlo Ancelotti at Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, is another possible candidate.In the wake of losing against Israel, Pearce refused to defend his players and said that they should take responsibility for their poor performances.Danny Rose, the Tottenham Hotspur full-back, and Jack Butland, the Stoke City goalkeeper, agreed with the manager's assessment and described the team's results as "embarrassing"."We haven't performed as well as we could have done, certainly not as good as we played in the qualifying stages," Rose said. "I know the players have been getting a bit of stick but I'd like to think we are all in it together. We were when we were winning, so we all should be when we are losing. It's very disappointing and very embarrassing."Asked whether the players had let Pearce down, Rose replied: "Definitely. He has put his trust in a lot of players, especially me. We don't know if this is going to be his last game, so to not win and not get a point is a real let down for him. That's what we have done."Although Rose said that expectation levels at home were unrealistic, he acknowledged the results in Israel were unacceptable. "I don't know why people automatically expect England to be contending for these competitions and winning them. We last won the World Cup in 1966 so I don't know why people put this expectation on England at all. But there is no excuse for not winning a game."Butland was at a loss to explain why an England team that came into the tournament on the back of nine straight victories had looked so abject. "We are embarrassed, we haven't done ourselves justice. We are a lot better than this but we can't keep saying this. We haven't proved it and we can only wonder why," Butland said."There is no one else to blame [but the players]. We were on the pitch, I hope [Stuart Pearce] stays in the job. He works extremely hard and does everything necessary to make sure we are successful."England Under-21sStuart PearceThe FARoy HodgsonStuart Jamesguardian.co.uk © 2013 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

Who is to blame?As the manager, Stuart Pearce has to accept responsibility for three dismal performances. The players, so woeful throughout, also have to take their share of the blame. There is, however, a much bigger picture to address.What we have seen in Israel highlights just how shallow the talent pool is in English football, which is not entirely surprising when the Premier League is so focused on commercial success, the clubs have little interest in the national team, managers are too worried about the next result to think about giving young players a chance, and there is a chronic shortage of highly qualified coaches.2. How does the Football Association come out of all this?Very badly. How does it look when the Under-21 manager is saying one thing – "we need our best players" – and Roy Hodgson, the senior coach, holds a completely different view and believes it is more important for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to be a substitute in a friendly? That disconnect points to a complete breakdown in communication at the top level within the FA and the absence of a clear strategy when it comes to tournament football.3. Is it time for Pearce to go?In a word, yes. Pearce defended his record in the wake of the Israel defeat, by pointing out England are the only nation to qualify for the last four European Championships. What he omitted to mention is that across that period they have won only three of 15 tournament matches in normal time and in the last two finals they have failed to get out of the group stage. The results and performances in Israel, where England looked tactically and technically inept, were the final nail in the coffin for Pearce.4. Who should get the job?A coach who has a proven track record in working with elite players. Someone like Paul Clement, Carlo Ancelotti's first-team coach at Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, would be ideal. René Meulensteen, the Manchester United coach, is another excellent candidate. But would Clement, Meulensteen – or any other top coach, for that matter – want to work for the FA and take a job that is hardly seen as a progressive career move? Another option is Glenn Hoddle but it is hard to see the FA being brave enough to go down that path. We are more likely to see Gareth Southgate, Peter Taylor or Michael Appleton appointed.5. Did anyone in the England Under-21 squad come out of the finals with any credit?Nathan Redmond, the Birmingham City winger who had never played at this level before, produced a few promising moments, and Andre Wisdom, whom Pearce believes should be England's Under-21 captain for the next two years, could not be faulted for his display against Israel. Otherwise it is hard to think of anyone who did themselves justice.6. Who was the biggest disappointment?Jonjo Shelvey would have to be near the top of the list. The Liverpool midfielder used the ball poorly, showed little inclination to work for the team and generally gave the impression that the tournament was getting in the way of his summer plans. Wilfried Zaha, who spent much of the Israel game running into cul-de-sacs, was another who fell well short of what Pearce would have expected. Some of the individual performances were so bad that it is little wonder some England players questioned whether a few of their team-mates wanted to be in Israel. That accusation could never be levelled at Jack Butland but the 20-year-old goalkeeper was below his best. Connor Wickham and Nathaniel Clyne also struggled.7. What has happened to Josh McEachran?Once hailed as one of the brightest talents in English football, McEachran has badly lost his way since breaking through at Chelsea under Ancelotti. The season before last he barely kicked a ball during a loan spell at Swansea, and in 2012-13 his form faded while on loan at Middlesbrough. Pearce played McEachran out of position when he came on as a substitute, on the left flank, in the Italy match, but even when the 20-year-old was deployed more centrally against Israel he made little impact. He is neat and tidy in possession but too often the game seems to take place around him. Age is on his side but there are now genuine doubts about whether he will become the player we hoped he would be. Another season-long loan in the Championship beckons.8. Who has worn an England shirt for the last time?Jason Steele, Declan Rudd, Clyne, Adam Smith, Steven Caulker, Craig Dawson, Tom Lees, Jordan Henderson, Jason Lowe, Danny Rose, Henri Lansbury, Nathan Delfouneso and Marvin Sordell are no longer eligible for the Under-21s. In truth, the majority of them are unlikely to ever pull on an English shirt again. Caulker and Henderson, who have both represented the senior England team under Hodgson, will need stellar seasons behind them to have any chance of being on the plane to Rio next year.9. Is there any fresh hope before the next Under-21 campaign?Of the 23-man squad here, Butland, Wisdom, Jack Robinson, Nathaniel Chalobah, McEachran, Zaha, Tom Ince, Shelvey, Redmond and Wickham are all eligible to play for the Under-21s again. As are Phil Jones, Jack Wilshere and Oxlade-Chamberlain, although there is more chance of Pearce staying on as manager than that trio going to the finals in the Czech Republic in 2015. The Southampton left-back Luke Shaw and the Liverpool winger Raheem Sterling, both of whom pulled out of the original squad for Israel, are likely to feature for the Under-21s next season. Sam Byram at Leeds and Chelsea's highly-rated Lewis Baker and Ruben Loftus-Cheek could be among the new faces.10. Will St George's Park, the national football centre, and the Elite Player Performance Plan (EPPP) prevent a repeat of what we have seen in Israel?The idea is that St George's Park will help to increase the number, as well as improve the standard, of coaches coming through, which is something the FA has neglected for years, leaving us well behind France, Italy, Germany and Spain. As for EPPP, the top clubs will have greater access to, and be able to spend more time with, the best young players. But speak to academy coaches and directors and most of them will say the same thing: the biggest problem is that there are so few pathways for a young English player to break into his club's first team. And that is something which it is hard to see changing.England Under-21sStuart PearceStuart Jamesguardian.co.uk © 2013 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.
