Good luck to Gary Neville and Valencia tonight and I mean that. Of course nobody is expecting him to turn around a 7 nil deficit even against a second string Barca team but I wish for a much improved performance and a positive response from his players.

I respected him (but didn't like him) as a player but have grown to like him as a pundit and I hope that he can start to turn things around at Valencia.

I know that Valencia supporters/journos are not happy but this clip is a bit out of order IMO.

I agree,definitely out of order but I thought that he handled the grilling very well.
Gary is a winner through and through and I reckon he will in time, make a great Manager. I just hope he gets the chance to turn things round at Valencia.
IMHO he is future England Manager material.

Yeah hope he turns things around as he clearly has great football knowledge and is an asset to England and Woy, but taking on such a massive club like Valencia as your first mangerial job is a tall order and I cant see him keeping it for much longer.

I don't get the hype around Neville, he's done nothing of note as a coach to warrant that job.

The sky love in with him is embarrassing.

I can't wait for him to be England manager.

He hasn't kicked a ball for United for years, time to let it go guys.;)

Who he's played for has nothing to do with it.

He's done a little bit of coaching for England, he's hardly got the experience needed for coaching in probably the best league in Europe.

He talks a good game as a pundit though.

Correct.

I don't remember any love in with Carra on sky, he gets the same coverage as most of the other pundits.

Carra and Neville had their own show with equal attention. I think most fans preferred Neville. He seemed the most impartial of all the pundits, which consider his actions in a Utd shirt was refreshing.

He got the Valencia job due to connections. but to be fair, as a manager what did Kenny or souness do to warrant being getting their first manager jobs at pool? Some players appear to have it and are given a chance. Personally think it was a poison chalice as Valencia have been poor. Respect to him for at least trying.

Well Souness had already managed at Rangers winning titles and Kenny was helped by Paisley and an established boot room

As for who preffered who in regards Carra and Neville - would suggest it's pretty hard to judge either way

I hope he gets sacked tbh, I've never liked him. Overrated as a player also, Fowler used to turn him inside out everytime we played Liverpool without fail.

Only in football could someone walk into a role of which they've no previous experience and earn £500k + pa.

I am, I just don't get the hype that he's a going to be a top coach or manager based on the fact he's done a little bit of coaching with England.

You say you think it was a poison chalice, surely that would be the same for any coach that would've took the job.

Can we not turn this into another Liverpool thread aswell ;)

i agree there's not much to suggest he's gonna be a top coach re lack of management coach experience, but apparently he's well respected in the game, and everyone deserves a chance. It's all well and good saying start at the bottom. But these days the players have earned so much, that they don't really manage out of necessity. Hence them going for the easy job in tv.

Personally I think he's much better sky than the other analysts. If he ends up going back to sky, I wouldn't mind at all. The digs him and cara share are quality.

Hold my hands up re souness. Point kinda remains though as was player manager at rangers.

As to popularity. From the people I know. Neville was always the most popular. Also recognised as the best pundit for sky two years running.
