He'll change his mind next year if City hit the bluffers.
Gary Neville

Whatever clicks, last year it was Klopp that was probably GOAT, next year might be Tuchel
Exactly.
He just won the League Cup against an (almost) managerless Spurs. It wasn't exactly a difficult ask.
He must have forgotten that they were dumped out of the FA Cup only last week.
Feck off Neville! You’ve forgotten where you came from and who made you. Seems all the plaudits he received for standing up against the big bad ESL has went to his head, he’s lost the plot.
Gary Neville varies from refreshing to embarrassing with increasing regularity.
Neville is always a bit on the extreme side isn't he?
Sexist too
I think he is very self-conscious about not appearing to have Utd red rose-tinted glasses to appease the neutral and rival fans. Him commentating on Utd matches can be annoying at times. He’ll rubbish Utd for the smallest of things.
Gary, Gary.
Hope you're doing this only for the laughs. I'm fine with that.

Ever read a match day thread on here?
"ESL IS GOING TO KILL FOOTBALL FOREVER!!"
Get knocked out of a proper cup competition last Saturday and wins a competition no one really cares about the following week . Greatest ever says Gary. Right
The man is clickbait personified.
A silly little stooge who will shout anything to please his Sky paymasters.

Sky: Hi Gary. Here is your script for today. We are calling Pep the bestest of the bestest.
Gary: Huh? Is this like last year when you asked me to tell Liverpool are the bestest ever?
Sky: Yes, that is our new narrative.
Gary: Whatever. One of these days, I want a raise.

I've seen this several times, never fails to make me laugh but really wondering what the hell were the producers thinking in presenting this segment that way.
Never liked him. Like him even less after this latest stream of absolute bullshit that he spews. Just feck off Gary.
See where Ole gets it
The least talented of the class of 92 (well apart from his brother) but with the biggest mouth. Was a good player for a few years, fair enough. And I don’t care what anyone says about how much he loves United, blah, blah.
He probably does, but his commentary is incredibly bias and he cares more about how he comes across than anything else.
Criticises anything United related (well unless he is talking about our English players) but gets credit from United fans because he is a true Red or whatever and hates Liverpool.
I have stopped taking him seriously long ago.

When in Rome...
He's in the world of media and as Sky employee his job is to attract attention - as proved by this quote - at any cost.
I can't decide, it's a tie!

As suspected now that the SL is dead and his investment in Salford still has the chance to rake in millions if they ever get to the PL. His crusade against the imposters is over and he'll go back to gushing over City and their owners.
No respect for the guy. Loves to take the moral high ground but then panders to the crowd at every opporitunity. Throughly fake.
Yeah where is his Glazers out stance like we saw from Wrighty in regards to Kroenke
Didn't he literally call them scavengers, said they should sell the club and leave the country?
That was when the ESL looked a real possibility
I think he reiterated the message after especially when Woodward left saying we had to go after the "roots". It's not like he walked back the statement
https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1425788/Gary-Neville-the-Glazers-Woodward-Man-Utd
Yeah he'll go quiet again for a while now, unless he wants to have another moan about how the Glazers won't develop the land around his hotel.
They're going to win the league by (hopefully) single digit points over a totally average United team. Relax will you.
That's also my take on him. But smart people still think he's independent of Sky's interest. hmm..

Honestly, while anyone would be a fool not to acknowledge the accomplishments of Pep Guardiola, I would like to see him work with anything less than the undisputably best squad in the league before I'm ready to call him the greatest manager of all time. His achievements in Europe are not exactly incredible, and domestically he has had by far the best squad in the land at his disposal for literally 100% of his career. For me to acknowledge that he might the best there ever was, he'll need to succeed against the odds, not just live up to what you'd already expect based on the caliber of the players he has had available to him. It just takes more than that.
If he could win the league with Tottenham or lead Sevilla to the CL trophy, I'd call him the greatest ever. If he could take over a team that usually finishes somewhere between 4th and 7th place, and elevate them to the point where they no longer even think about the chance of finishing outside the top 4, I'd be down. But thus far, he has really just managed to meet the expected standard of the squads he has had at his disposal. And you can easily argue that he hasn't even really done that at Bayern and City, where he has had no real success in Europe.
Sure, Pep's really good. The greatest ever? Not in my book. He hasn't proven that yet. You need to do more than he has done to earn that, as far as I'm concerned. He hasn't punched above his weight. Every single year of his managerial career, he has been working with the best squad in the country he was managing in; and he hasn't even really succeeded in the CL since he had the best-in-all-football-history Barcelona dream team to work with.
Without peak Messi and Iniesta at his disposal, he hasn't done more than I would expect of any competent manager. He has won a good deal of titles in Germany and England during a time when noone else was mounting a serious challenge. His Bayern team hardly had to struggle to win the Bundesliga, and throughout his tenure at City, all of the other big English clubs have been in a state of rebuilding or recent revival. He has not dominated the way Alex Ferguson did, or made diamonds out of coal like Brian Clough or Diego Simeone.
To be crowned the greatest manager of all time, you need to do more than climb into the fastest car in the race and drive it to an unsurprising victory. Next time he moves to a new club, I hope he chooses a challenge so that we can see if he's really got it in him. Until he does, I can't rank him at #1 when others have the same with less.
Actually quite happy letting him have these. If he doesn't win anything else27 years vs 5 years
Why is he picking joint man of the match? Guy is cringe deluxe.
Joint MOTM is embarrassing. Just pick one ffs.
Spot on, cringe is the correct word for that decision.
Who did he pick? I only saw the last 60 minutes, but based on that it should only be Salah.
Foden and Salah
He’s a funny one. Seems to talk more sense about the world outside of football than what he’s paid to do. Clearly has a script that he sticks to regardless of the action on the pitch too.
