Inexperienced newcomer (Male First Name) (Male Surname) last night vowed to lead England to World Cup glory within four years, and begged his critics: “Judge me on my results.” The eyes of a proud footballing nation will now be on the unknown (Male Surname) to see whether he can deliver.

Yesterday’s extraordinary developments began with the Football Association admitting that all the candidates on their shortlist for the new national boss had turned the job down. (Male Surname), (Age), who lives in (Lives In) and has never managed at any level, was installed as the bookies’ favourite shortly after lunchtime. His appointment was confirmed at a 4.30pm press conference and immediately sent shock waves through the football world. The BBC insider branded it ‘an insane gamble’.

But the FA defended their decision. A spokesman hit back: “(Male First Name) was our number one choice right from the start. People will say he lacks experience against the big boys, but his success in last season’s Fantasy Football League is there for all to see. And in recent seasons his Subutteo team has played with passion, belief and flair - qualities that will be much needed as we prepare for the World Cup qualifying stages.”

(Male Surname) admitted to the media: “I was surprised to get the call from the FA, as I had not actually applied for the job, but (Male First Name) (Male Surname) never walks away from a challenge. I can assure the fans we will be nobody’s whipping boys. We will aim to turn Wembley Stadium into a fortress and surprise the Frances and Italys of this world on our travels.”

A furious (Male Surname) last night denied that his £4 million salary was too high, and claimed winning the next World Cup was a realistic possibility. He said: “This country has been a sleeping football giant for too long. I have reached the Subutteo World Cup semi-finals twice with teams that were unfancied by the pundits, and I am confident that I can take the current England squad one step further. We will make the likes of Brazil and Argentina look to their laurels. Either back me or sack me.”
