You're asking why an ex-united 'legend' is different from youtube nobodys?
Gary Neville - Pundit
- Thread starter Jamie Shawcross
- Start date
Unlike you who are a proper top red and have done loads for the club.
No I was asking jibbs why Nev isn’t allowed to ‘leech‘ off the club, when plenty of other nobodies who’ve done feck all for the club do it week in week out. I don’t agree with his comments, so was asking why he’s got an issue with Nev and not the genuine leeches.
Least Gary will be happy that we look likely to employ another former United player as manager. This means we avoid the guaranteed mess that would be brought with having a world class manager like Conte.
Look forward to what he says about us later and the lengths he goes to in avoiding talking about how much of a tit he’s been through this.

Loyal to the end.
Restored it briefly before extinguishing it.
Since Ole was a failure does this mean (In Neville logic) that we can never appoint a former player again
Love love love
Hopefully he fecks off and follows Ole to his next gig. Maybe get a pundits job over in Norway and he can cover him every week.
Not sure what moral high ground he thinks he is taking by acting like this, but he's got the whole thing truly wrong. Doubling on that, doesn't help.
Don't be too harsh Gary. The last two months just weren't the easiest sounds better.
His stance on Ole these last few months has been commendable but in all honesty pretty weak and poor for one of the so called top pundits in the game. I would have respected him more if he’d been more honest like his scouse mate.
Wonder when the ‘we hired an ex-player as interim before and it didn’t work” line will be trotted out by Neville on today’s Sky broadcast…
He’s a complete and utter tool. Of all the things that are different post Ole, GNev’s inability to be impartial and constant voice on Sky are the biggest negatives for me. In time, Ole’s tenure as manager will be looked back on positively albeit as a period without success, I don’t think GNev’s reputation will ever be the same.
He tries to stay relevant by being a ‘voice’ for United but he’s more disconnected than anyone, he’s a multimillionaire businessman who has been out of the game too long & who showed his IQ level by genuinely thinking he could manage Valencia despite not speaking Spanish and having never had a senior gig. He hires/fires managers for fun at Salford and then preaches patience on tv. The further the club disassociate themselves from him, the better it is for everyone.
Absolute cockwomble and no surprise he failed as a manager. Any old fecker can be a pundit.
To be fair to him, he was very very vocal about the Super League and was extremely critical of our owners at that time. He was an important voice in the revolt against that idea. He's not disconnected, he just has a really weird blind spot when it comes to "giving managers time". Outside of that he's a reasonable pundit who speaks his mind. It just so happens that his mind is absolutely fecking mental when it comes to managers and Ole
Fully agree. And am saying that as someone who doesn't take him too seriously. But, he has made himself look like a proper tit in all this mess.
I do think he gets too much credit there. Everyone was against it, he was just milking social media. Fair play for him speaking against it but it wasn’t scrapped because of him.
I'm giving him a pass on this one. He made his views clear even if he has a thing about not calling for people to be sacked.
But he was wrong about that too.
It's exactly the same stance he took on Nuno Espirito Santo.
Neville's scouse mate was desperate to see Ole fail and get sacked. In the same way that United fans enjoyed seeing a Liverpool legend like Dalgliesh fail at Liverpool. By the same token, I'll be hoping Gerard eventually replaces Klopp and fails just as miserably.
It's simply a convenient eay to tarnish the legacy of a club legend. On the one hand, you get to be patronising to your rival club. On the other hand, you ruin some of the positive memories the fans used to have. It's a win-win for Carragher. Don't think he's doing it out of concern for United. You're falling for his trick if you do that. It's an entirely malicious intent.

How do you know he wasn't against the super league to protect his investment ? If he wasn't an owner himself would he have gone to the lengths he went to to shame the idea and the owners ?
But he was using Sky to voice that opinion...sky broke away from 72 other English club to form a then "super league" domestically.
More than a tad hypocritical!
I like him as a pundit on issues that are non-United related. To be honest, I even find him interesting to listen to where United are concerned. Interesting, but also embarrassing and cringe worthy. Totally consumed by his own self importance, whilst his United ideals are drenched in misplaced arrogance. Generally just a bit of a twerp.

Mentions how he’d hoped the players could turn it around. It’s always the players with him. Never the manager and rarely mentions the board- unless it’s to do with the super league and it’s potential to hit him financially too.
Picks and chooses his battles instead of being objective.

It seems very obvious to me that that wasn't the case, and I think it's really cynical to suggest it.
Refusing to say he needed to go still 
Talking Pochettino on a 5 year deal, man’s not well..

Basically Neville just saw Sky Sports tweeted something and automatically liked it.
In a strange way the one of thing to come out of Ole's time here is Neville has been the one whose reputation at United had been completely ruined.
No matter what Neville says or does from here on in most United fans will only remember how he behaved like a total gimp over this while in time most United fans will look at Ole for being a decent guy who tried but just wasn't good enough
Well he is hypocritical in the sense that he is always saying we need to give managers time yet, discards managers at his own club as if they're a packet of skittles.
I hope people don't forget about this. No club hero is bigger than the club and Neville leeching off the club like this is pathetic .
He's a useless pundit. I'll support him in other capacities but not as a spokesperson for the fans

He thinks no end of himself and is always pontificating like he is the Pope.
I just wish people would stop watching that Goldbridge scum. Using him as a measuring stick for anything United is just gross.
As far a Nevs, most of us now know for certain that he's representing the inner circle of the Sir Fergie-ites. It's been disturbing to see how clueless this group has been since the arrival of Ole.
