Roy Hodgson had a lot to say at his final England press conference despite admitting he didn't feel the need to be there.
Here is a full transcript of the answers Hodgson, sitting alongside the FA's chief executive Martin Glenn, gave on Tuesday at Chantilly following England's Euro 2016 exit.
On Iceland defeat
I don't know what I'm doing here, I think my statement last night was sufficient - I'm no longer England manager but I was told it was important for everybody that I appeared.
It's probably because people are still smarting from the defeat and someone has to stand and take the slings and arrows that come with it. Nothing in the three games gave me any indication that we would play as poorly as we did.
When opponents like Iceland play well on the night, they can beat you - and I'm still recovering from that. I'm fragile and still recovering from that.
We even believed if we got to the quarter-finals we could get beyond that. But we maintained that wretched record in knockouts. Anybody who knows anything about football will have some idea of how I'm feeling today.
On player unrest
If it was true then they disguised it well from me and the coaching staff.
We had no indication from the players that they were anything but behind what we were doing, behind the game-plans that we had. They tried hard to execute them.
In the game against Slovakia, we dominated the game from start to finish and all we could be accused of from a critical point of view was that we didn't take our chances.
On having regrets
It is too early to say. It certainly is the wrong day for me to be talking about it because emotions are too raw.
Hindsight does always serve the purpose of putting you in the right and if you don't have it, you find yourself very often in the wrong.
I do not think before last night's game the performances had given me any real cause for concern, other than us not taking our chances.
I didn't foresee, and neither did the players, the sort of performance we gave last night that saw us knocked out. Iceland were possibly the better team on the night despite us having the best of possession.
On his successor
That depends on the FA. I am privileged to work for the FA and England, I have enjoyed working for the FA and England.
I have had great support. I feel the people around me have appreciated the work that we have tried to do, even though it has not brought the results we would have liked.
They know, Martin knows, Greg Dyke knows, David Gill, if he is going to be involved, knows that if I can be of assistance in any way whatsoever, I will do. But it will be up to them to come to me.
As far as I am concerned, I am an ex-England manager and can only wish the new England manager the best of luck. I think, as I said in my statement, that I am leaving a good group of players to work with.
I'm part of it, a part of the team - and myself, the coaching staff and players feel sad we couldn't deliver.
I have sympathy for the fans, we're sorry we couldn't give them results they were hoping for but all I can say is they were the results we were hoping for too.
Players were desperately trying to win the game but didn't provide the right performance.
I think we will have an England team to be proud of - this group as they mature will show they're worthy of wearing the shirt. It's got nothing to do with money or where they play - we saw that last night. Sometimes the 11 you're hoping play the best game, don't.
I'm sure these players will live up to expectations and progress will be made and we'll see an England team do well at a tournament.
On attending the news conference
I wasn't forced to come, I was anxious to make certain nobody in this room could accuse me of being worried or afraid to face the media.
I did so because I've never shirked a press conference, never run away from anybody and when suggestions were being made that could be construed that way, I decided I would come.
I maintain I'm unhappy about it because it's no longer my job and so much will be written that nothing I can say will do more than fuel the flames.
I can't give anybody a magic answer. I'm here because it's my last day in the job and want to wish my successor well. We all know the English media is not easy to satisfy but I've been treated fairly in my time.
On England being an impossible job
No, it's difficult but all national manager jobs for top countries are. It's all about results and we didn't show it last night but I would defy people if they said we didn't show good football in the first three games - but last night we didn't reproduce it.
Are the players hurt?
I think so. Players are more resilient. They didn't not play well last night because they don't care.
Roy's farewell…
If the analysis comes from results then no we didn't do well but I think in the three games we played - I'm getting boring - we didn't take our chances well enough.
We weren't ruthless enough in front of goal, apart from that I thought box-to-box there were good signs that can be taken forward with this England team.
We didn't play well last night and I take full responsibility for that. I have answered your questions on changes, [Harry] Kane taking corners etc - you might not like the answers but I've come here to do the job I've just done.
I hope you're satisfied, I have no complaints about the press and how I've been treated, I understand there will be criticism.
One bad game has caused a lot of damage to me personally and the team going forward because they have major bridges to repair. I have nothing more to add, I'll leave you to your stories and thank you for your time.
