England full-back Danny Rose has claimed that Alan Shearer was right to describe the state of the national side as a "laughing stock" after manager Sam Allardyce was forced to step down just one match into his reign.

The former Three Lions striker launched a scathing attack on English football after a media sting caught Allardyce offering advice on how to circumnavigate FA rules on third-party ownership of players.

Gareth Southgate will now take interim charge of the team until the end of the year, and Rose is hopeful that the next permanent boss will be around for the long haul.

"I saw Alan Shearer say English football has become a laughing stock and it's hard to say but I agree a bit with a manager losing his job after one game. It's not good in any sense and whatever stance the FA take after the four games [under Southgate], I hope the next England manager will be one for the long term and help us to improve a bit in tournaments," he told reporters.

"When Roy Hodgson lost his job, we were all there together. It was a sad experience for me because we all knew at the time and we saw Roy's face at the time. There's only so much stick a manager can take and there has to be a point where the players look at themselves and say 'it's not good enough'. With Sam, it came from nowhere. I was just thinking 'who will it be now?'.

"I don't want to say it's a mess, but it's not nice for English football. Everyone, the players, the manager and all the staff, we've got to take it on ourselves to try to lift the opinion of English football over the next few games - starting with a positive performance on Saturday against Malta and then another positive performance against Slovenia."

Rose was part of the side for Allardyce's sole match in charge of the national team - a 1-0 win over Slovakia last month.
