There's going to be a lot of this in the next few days, people laughably 'ruling themselves out' of an England job they wuld never have been offered in their wildest dreams.

So I'd like to rule myself out of the Manchester United job when Fergie goes.

I am ruling myself out of the position of CEO of RBS if that bloke who returned his £1m bonus ever decides to walk.

I ruled myself out last night on Twitter to save any concern or lack of confidence within the business!

I have ironed myself out and bagged myself some work after a spell of unemployment that was beginning to drag. I might be tempted, however, to make a diversion in careers and take up the England post.

My only concern is that I have been out of the game for so long. Apart from a very brief flirt, I haven't played Champ Man seriously since university.

I'd also like to rule myself out of the Miss England running. Look, it would be a great honour, but I've got a good project going down here in Surrey as a man, and I need to see it through.

Sadly for you I am currently IN the Grand Hotel with the Chairman of the FA and they have just told me you were the worst candidate they have ever interviewed. ........Hang on - what's that? You want me to sign......here, here and.................here. Right - and the first £5million will be in m account when?........Yep fine - cool.

Sorry where was I - Oh that's right Seagull London. You lose. I not only rule myself in - I can break stunning news - I am the new England Manager.

Have you really thought this through though? Please don't be too premature.

At the age of 41, I'm hereby ruling out any attempts at a career as a professional footballer. That then-baby in a pram that I barely missed with the ball whilst attempting to pass to Simster in Regents Park in 2001 is apparently still traumatised by the experience at the age of 11. I'm a danger to society and society must be protected.
