Gary Neville

I can't see how we can afford a new stadium without a sponsor under the current ownership. Our net debt is >£500m.
This.

Where's the money going to come from? The owners aren't going to pay for it, and we don't have the capital to simply drop £1billion on a new stadium.

I find the idea a little uncomfortable, but I do feel a new modern ground for us has been long overdue, and unfortunately sponsorship may be our only means for financing it.
 
Ten Hag is in for a hard time from Neville if he gets the gig. Already Neville is teeing up the idea that we’re interested in him because we ‘blow with the wind’. It’s a convenient narrative to take if you’re interested in punching down if and when results don’t immediately go his way.
 
I’m critical of him as much as anyone but he is right on the stadium part. He knows renovation won’t do much and as hard as it is to even contemplate the thought of leaving old Trafford, the sad reality is it has to be replaced by new stadium at some point. He mentions that leaving the cliff was very painful for him and other players when we shifted to carrington and I understand why. Leaving old Trafford would be the same and it will be emotional and painful but it would be right decision for us.

Want to see the quotes before passing judgement.
 
A shame for Leicester that that goal was disallowed.

They'll point to the fact that McTominay should've had a red card.

All after he admitted it was a foul by the way.
 
The stark difference in his criticism when his mate is in charge vs now makes it hard to take him seriously. He could make an excellent point that I would actually agree but its at that point I don't want him to be right.
 
Tesla Trafford sounds good?

he is right, we need best stadium and the only way to do it is via naming rights!!
 
Spent 50 minutes yearning for Rashford. Did he say anything about how he played when he came on?
 
His intentional ignorance feigning over why Rashford doesn’t start drives me up the fecking wall. That’s City and today when he has come on and made us worse but I can’t wait until next week when Neville will pretend to wonder why he doesn’t start.

He's just repeating what he did when Ole was our manager. It's never their fault and always someone else to blame for the bad showing.
 
Blamed Elanga for stopping him scoring the winner
Elanga should have been brought off after about 15 minutes, he was abysmal today. truly awful. Neville is right too. Elanga was in an offside position, moved towards the ball Rashford was chasing and tripped Rashford.
 
Don’t understand any animosity towards him. People are so harsh and quick to judge these days. He’s mostly correct about things and explains his thought process well. I don’t agree with him on it needing to be Poch but that doesn’t make me dislike him.
Agreed. The dislike seems to stem mostly from the fact he backed Ole, which is just bizarre.
 
I don't mind Gary Neville but sometimes you wonder why a failed manager has so much to say. Is it because his narrative sells and that's a way for Sky to stay relevant? It seems like nowadays I can't enjoy watching a game without someone tooting their own horn.
 
Really sick of him pretending that he knows what the problems are and that he wants what's best for the club when he was one of the first public figures to come out against the idea of us appointing Conte last year and stood by Ole to the bitter end. None of our ex-players should be listened to about Manchester United matters, they're all clueless.

It's not bizarre. Sticking with Solskjaer for almost 3 years has damaged our club and left us in a mess that will take a long time to clean up. Anyone who blindly supports an individual when it's clearly to the detriment of the club, are not going to be looked upon in the best of lights. Too many people put their personal love of Ole above the wellbeing of the club.
 
He has a point. Why would ETH want a job at United if his demands are not met. There is substantial precedent that we're a club where players and managers go to get their career completely obliterated.
 


Nothing he says is wrong.

United question at 8:55, with most of his comments starting at 10:36.

He is spot on. These players are dragging the club through the mud with their selfishness. They are a stain.
