<a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Gary%20Neville" target="_blank">The former United defender</a> took over as Valencia head coach in a <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/12/gary-neville-hands-england-boost-after.html" target="_blank">shock move at the beginning of December</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In four games his only win has come against lowly Barakaldo in the Copa del Rey while there have been Liga draws with Eibar and Getafe as well as the Champions League defeat to Lyon.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He has been touted as a possible manager of both <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Manchester%20United" target="_blank">United</a> and <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/England%20Football%20Team" target="_blank">England</a> - and with the pressure on <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Louis%20Van%20Gaal" target="_blank">Louis van Gaal</a>, and <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Roy%20Hodgson" target="_blank">Roy Hodgson</a>'s contract up in the summer, it has been suggested he could make that move sooner than later.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
However the 40-year-old believes he could be in Spain for the long-haul.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Me being the England manager in six months or me being the Manchester United manager in six months – I can assure you it’s not going to happen,” Neville told the Telegraph.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“And it shouldn’t happen. Simple as that. I am removing any doubt that anybody should be thinking in that way. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"You see these things and its nonsense. Honestly, nonsense. I am happy here doing what I am doing. I am happy working under Roy. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
THE FA chief executive Martin Glenn insists tomorrow's friendly between England and France is of huge global significance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
England host France just four days after 129 people were killed in attacks in Paris.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The French Football Federation insisted the game had to go ahead despite the FA offering to cancel it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And Glenn believes it's a chance for football to stand up to terrorism.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"This is going to have massive global significance - the first major event since Friday. It is a chance to demonstrate terrorism can't win," he said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We can't afford to let this act of terror cow us."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The FA have also called on fans to arrive earlier than normal to aid security checks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All bags will be checked before access is allowed into the stadium, and more security officers have been drafted in to create a stronger and more visible presence for the 70,000 spectators who are expected.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The FA has not been told of any threat to the match but the fact a suicide bomber attempted to gain access to the Stade de France on Friday night has highlighted the fact that sports events may be a future target.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Glenn added: "We'd like fans to turn up a bit earlier as there will be more security checks and police around the area."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The lyrics of the French national anthem, La Marseillaise, will be displayed on the big screens so that all fans can join in the singing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Wembley's giant arch will shine in red, white and blue while the French flag and national slogan of 'Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite' will be shown displayed on LED screens on Wembley Way.</div>

There will be a minute's silence before kick-off and both teams will wear black armbands to remember the 129 people killed in Friday's attacks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"7.55pm is when the game will really begin as we show our solidarity with France," said Glenn.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Manager Roy Hodgson admitted the context of the game had changed massively - and it was now about standing with the French rather than the result of the match itself.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said: "All we can do really is make certain we play the best game possible, but unfortunately whichever way we think about it we can't deny there's something hanging over this game which is far far greater than a football match and a football result.</div>

"We'll do our best on the football field and I'm sure these young players will get great experience and they won't let the country down, but I believe tomorrow night is going to be a little bit more around us showing solidarity and people writing about this football match being played and the reasons for this match being played, rather than necessarily what actually happens on the field."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 68-year-old also admits he is going into the unknown when it comes to how the match itself might play out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He added: "I really can't imagine how this game's going to go and what sort of football is going to be played quite simply because I've never been in this situation before. I've never played a game four days after a tragedy of this immense proportion, but the game is to go ahead and we will prepare and try to play the best game we can play.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"But I can't deny that there are other issues here which are greater than the game of football."</div>

Hodgson said that none of the England players had told him they did not want to play the friendly as a result of Friday's attacks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He also said his side would have had no problem if France had wanted to call the game off.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Our players, like everyone in the world, were devastated by the news," the England coach said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We would have been perfectly content had the decision been taken that, because of the events, the game would have been called off, we'd have accepted that without any discussion or any comment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"But we were told the game was to go ahead and we've tried to do our best to prepare accordingly, and I don't think there's anybody in particular who would have a reason to say 'I don't want to play the game'.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"But a lot of those French players are involved in English football so there's an enormous empathy between them, but not enough for any of our players to come to myself or Martin to say 'because of what's happened we don't want to play the game'."</div>

WAYNE ROONEY is set to miss out as England face European champions Spain in Alicante on Friday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/England%20Football%20Team" target="_blank">The Three Lions</a> skipper is being 'rested' according to boss <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Roy%20Hodgson" target="_blank">Roy Hodgson</a>, but question marks over his form will continue.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Rooney, <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Manchester%20United" target="_blank">Manchester United</a>'s top scorer in all competitions this season, has been under fire after a difficult start to the campaign.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Wayne%20Rooney" target="_blank">The 30-year-old</a> has scored just two Premier League goals for <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Louis%20Van%20Gaal" target="_blank">Louis van Gaal</a>'s side and he was subbed in their 2-0 win over West Brom.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Dutch boss has however stuck by him, and Hodgson has too, but now it seems he's looking at his options ahead of next summer's Euros in France.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hodgson said: “Wayne’s with me today because he’s the captain of our team, he’s the most important figure as a result, but he actually won’t start the game tomorrow.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I’m telling you that because Wayne and I are very anxious that we’re not trying to fool anybody or bamboozle anybody when he’s sat alongside me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"That’s for the very simple reason that we’re looking at various combinations. Wayne is pencilled in against France on Tuesday.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Rooney said: "It's important in these games that the manager has the chance to see as many players as possible before next summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"There are lots of things to consider and hopefully the lads that come in can do well."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jamie Vardy, having scored in nine consecutive Premier League games, is a doubt with a knock meaning Harry Kane will start ahead of Ross Barkley in a number 10 role.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Jamie Vardy is struggling with a knock he picked up last Saturday," Hodgson added.</div>

"I don’t want to talk about the team. We will use the two games to look at various combinations and groups of players.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"It will be good to spare the players playing in two games.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"It will be good to see how various groups are developing. Wayne and Vardy, Kane and Barkley are combinations I am interested in."</div>

Tottenham midfielder <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Dele%20Alli" target="_blank">Dele Alli</a> has been called up for the first time after an impressive start to the season.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alli signed for Spurs from MK Dons in January but went straight back on loan, but has made an impact in the centre of midfield for Mauricio Pochettino's side.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We've been impressed with Dele Alli and this is a chance to get to know him. He's a very exciting talent," Hodgson said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alli comes in at a time when England are short of options in midfield with Jack Wilshere, Jordan Henderson and Fabian Delph all out injured.</div>

But Pochettino recently warned Hodgson against picking Alli too early.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"It is the same situation as last season with Harry Kane," Pochettino said. "Be careful with the young players that arrive in the Premier League.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"It is not easy. Again it is not my decision. It is Roy Hodgson's decision if he wants to call up Dele Alli. You can see he is a player who is very mature and shows great quality.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"But always in football you need to take it step by step, game by game. He has a great personality and good character. But it is too much of a rush to talk about bigger steps for him."</div>
