I guess they would not believe how bad things are at United until one of them (Nicky Butt) has been working in the house long enough to see what kind of shitness the Glazers have allowed to fester.
Gary Neville - Pundit
- Thread starter Jamie Shawcross
- Start date
by calling out the glazers? which every united fan should? him doing that is only a good thing. far from a fecking embarrassment
Glazers are parasitic cnuts.
Exactly. This post should be a disclaimer on each of the guys posts in this thread. I've seen some weird takes in here, especially this summer, but this dude has trumped the lot.
Nah nothing wrong with the message. It is the arrogant delivery and the tunnel vision
Utd fans generally want him to rant about whatever narrative suits them that month. Which have inherent biases just as much as his.
Yeah he's also very stubborn. Doesn't look good when you're not even trying to listen. He was very rude. That said I can't disagree most of his rant.
.
Yeah like a parrot that learnt a new word and didn't know when to shut-up. Sky coverage will be on mute from now on.
Shouldn't be by that difficult for someone on the commentary to call it like it was. United shit over Brentford outstanding was obvious to most watching that match yesterday.
1 million per cent.
Come on Hansi, there's no way you believe that
It's probably not to be expected that irony, or better call it light-hearted hyperbole, comes across well and evidently in written posts. Anyway, here's my point:
It's not that his opinion about the Glazers isn't right, I couldn't agree more with him and I would go further that I reject the idea of ownership of clubs at all.
It's just that he mixes it up constantly with his punditry and analysis of the team. And as much as he's an honest fan voicing an important argument, on the platform he does it -as pundit on Sky Sports- he's also merely acting as a useful idiot for the broadcaster who thrives from the rants and the controversy. The heroic anti-Glazer activism becomes a gimmick for Sky whether he wants it or not, and the sporting atmosphere of the team he supports is leadened with it. Not to mentions he also soaks any valid points of his in incredibly annoying, narrow-minded, and disingenuous nostalgia.

Yeah I did end up seeing the other post, and I do get what you're saying. I've just never really thought of Gary Neville as someone particularly influential when it comes to setting the talking points, but admittedly I'm fairly naive when it comes to social media outside of the Redcafe. I guess his standing as a pundit coupled with his United history does make him a pretty large figure when it comes to the discussion around the club.
Simon Jordan called Neville a "Trot" on talkSport this morning, which mildly amused me.
edit: wrong theead
Believe it's Neville and Carra on MNF tonight.
Jordan himself has been very critical of the Glazers, obviously Gary narked him.
Simon Jordan is an idiot who hadn’t a single clue how to run a football club and lost his fortune doing so
Should be doing more and calling for protests until they are forced out. Was happy to sway that far after the super league debacle. He takes his foot of the gas depending on the weekends results. He’s got a powerful platform and as a lover of the club, he could use it to full effect to try and help us out.
Yet all the Glazer apologists in the media say "they have spent the money". Annoying.
Our income has always been the highest so we should be able to spend even more as needed. That hasnt happened.
Also the Glazers have mismanaged the spending of our own clubs money by keeping Woodward in position for nearly a decade ruining the club with poor recruitment.
That's just semantics. They have spent the money. It'd be a bit tiresome to add on "money generated by the club" everytime it's mentioned.
Especially when the pubdits/fans point is that enough money has been spent(wherever that money has come from) to produce a really good team.
I'd say that makes him more qualified than anybody here to talk about how a football club is run.
yes they’ve allowed the club to spend badly for a decade on their watch. Focusing on the successful business side of the club whilst neglecting the less important (to them) football side. They’ve made promises to change after the super league shambles and it was simply to make the problem voices go away. Nothing changed.
But he didn’t know how, he failed. Nobody in this forum is being paid to go in national radio and chat shit (that I know of)
After saying Utd will finish in top 4 a couple of weeks ago, Neville just said on MNF that he thinks Utd could finish bottom half of the table this season. 
Bit harsh putting Mata in Red.
He's amber for me
Bruno also Amber.

I am a bit sick of everyone who continues to say the but they have spent a lot of money line. The owners role doesn’t start & end with that. GNev is absolutely right that when the club has been a constant failure for a decade & has had multiple different managers then surely questions have to be asked about the leadership. At United all you see at the top is money grabbing leeches and unfortunately that has trickled down to every level of the club

He's too emotional, I get he's paid to give opinions and that's all he's doing but predicting us to finish top 4 was just as daft as predicting us to finish bottom half
Not true. If you actually look at the finances we are nowhere near as profitable as the claims here.
2nd point I agree with
Neville's defense of Ole long after it was obvious he needed to be sacked puts him in the tin foil hat category for me. Yes of course he knows a lot more about football management that I do, but he disgracefully defended his mate when he should have joined everyone else who could see that Ole wasn't up to the job.
Neville on angel dust. Maguire amber.
Green/Amber/Red is a stupid rating system.
Our Gary lets his heart rule his head at times and that heart is not so much worn but tattooed on his sleeve. Remember this is a man who was grinning like a Cheshire Cat when we somehow knocked PSG out of the Champions League, giddy with excitement asking where Solskjaer wants his statue and when he’s signing a permanent deal.
Putting Fernandes as green was probably stranger.
That's why Talkshite employed him like the rest of the hasbeens on it stealing a living off the station
why we’ve been sparked by everyone in the past few months of PL football over 2 seasons regardless where in the table they are?
Why what?
A graveyard of footballers
People are getting a bit to precious about the specifics of the bloody colour coding.
That graphic was put together to highlight what a shit show our recruitment has been.
Everything they discussed was pretty much spot on.

Lots of those reds arguable amber, martial was good for a bit, same with mata, we got some value from mkhi, and lukaku was ok until he wasnt. But fact is that's a lot of bad. not much good
This is Manchester United.
