Joey Barton believes England's failures at major tournaments can be attributed to the lack of a "winning culture" – because our players care more about earning money than achieving success on the field.

The Three Lions crashed out of Euro 2016 on Monday night, slumping to a 2-1 defeat to Iceland in Nice after a disastrous performance.

That result brought the curtain down on Roy Hodgson's reign as manager, with Gary Neville and Ray Lewington also leaving their posts in the coaching staff.

Barton believes that Hodgson must bear the brunt of the criticism for the failure, but says there are deeper at issues at play.

"There have been so many problems with this side, but the biggest was the manager," he wrote in L'Equipe.

"He has now stepped down, as he should have after the World Cup. There were errors, especially that of Joe Hart , but Hodgson must take responsibility.

" England is also paying for a cultural problem. Hart, for example, appears at half-time in adverts for shampoo. How does that help you win?

"In England, people only think about earning money, not winning matches. That would not happen if there was a real winning culture.

"The FA wants to give the national team to English coaches, but they're poor. They're often ex-players who become coaches too quickly. Being a good player and being a good coach are two different things.

"Gary Neville has been named among the potential successors to Hodgson, but why? I was completely rubbish at Valencia. It's too much for me."
