STUART Pearce has admitted he is ready to lead England to Euro 2012 if the Football Association decides he is the right man for the job.The England Under 21 boss has stepped into the breach to lead the senior side on a caretaker basis, starting with the friendly against Holland at Wembley on Wednesday, in the wake of Fabio Capello’s shock departure earlier this month.The FA are currently in the process of drawing up a shortlist for who will replace the Italian, with Harry Redknapp the hot favourite to be appointed.But while the Tottenham boss is flattered to be linked with the national job, he remains keen to focus on the remainder of the Premier League season as Spurs challenge for the title."If they need me to take the squad in the summer I will do that with pleasure.”
