Agent Scott McGarvey is upset for Sam Allardyce over his England sacking.
Allardyce's reign as Three Lions boss lasted just 67 days after undercover journalists posing as businessmen filmed him arranging to earn extra money by doing motivational speeches for a bogus Far East firm.
He attended the meeting at a hotel in London after it was arranged by McGarvey, who admits that Allardyce should hold him responsible for how events unfolded.
Asked on Sky Sports News how he felt about Allardyce losing his job, the former Manchester United striker said: "Very surprised. I'm devastated for him. I can't think of anything worse that could have happened.
"He's got to feel I'm responsible because I'm the one who's brought him to the meeting but he's only come for me.
"He's never once spoken about money. He's never once said anything about money. It was only, 'Are you okay, lad? I'll help you'.
"Do I think he holds me responsible? I think he's known me for a long, long time. He knows that I'd never do that to him or to anybody in football.
"I can understand if he doesn't speak to me again. I need to respect that, but I hope not because we go back a long way.
"It might take a bit of time because I know how hurt he is at losing the England job.
"It doesn't matter if you're the manager of Crewe and you lose your job but if you're the manager of England and you lose your job after one game, it's a joke."
