The ex-Newcastle striker has never managed anyone ... at any level ... but the seems to be campaign for the man to throw his hat in the ring for the 'Biggest Job In Football'.

The player himself, says he's stunned to be a potential candidate to be the next England boss.

Shearer: "I am surprised as anyone to see my name up there.

"I think there are many more candidates above me with a lot more experience than I have.

"I've taken my coaching badges and my A and B licences and management does interest me at some stage.

"But when that is don't know.Right now I'm happy with what I am doing as a pundit for the BBC.

"I think it is a great job for someone. I believe there are some very good players in that England squad. It is just about getting the best out of them."

It seems he has won over the nation because as Michael Owen, John Terry, Steven Gerrard and the rest all defended Steve McClaren and insisted he was the right man for the job ... Shearer stood up and told the truth ... the England manager was clueless!
