Gary Neville part of Hodgson's coaching team

[The Buttery Biscuit Base]

So much knowledge and understanding of the game, comes across as a real likeable chap on the tellybox!

Showed a lot of class after the games yesterday!

I remember once when Utd were losing and he was played a lovely ball as he ran in to the box .... he was cleaned up, fairly, by the opposition centreback and went down looking for the pen. When it wasn't given he had a hissy fit and ended up slapping the turf like a 10 year old.... not much class that day.

And how many footballers do you see do that week in week out?...every single one of them.

I know, imagine having a bit of desire and the want to win

Does this mean there's no place for Stuart Pearce?

God I hope so.

He is doing a fantastic job with the under 21s, he is where he should be at this stage of his career.

Or shouting foul abuse at the ref and having a tantrum ?.. yep, management potential there all right

Ironic post I assume

Gary Neville has walked into Andy Gray and Andy Townsend's job, a job they've been doing for years, and shat all over anything they did in their time as commentators. Luckily both are being heard less and less on the tv these days (Gray not at all).

Neville was up there with my most hated players in his playing days. He's quickly become my favourite pundit. Seems like an alright bloke, much like Savage, on the pitch he was a bit of a c*nt because he knew that's what it takes to perhaps make up for the lack of technical genius in his game. He knows his stuff, and yesterday confirmed he is nowhere near as biased as i'd have expected. In fact, he probably gave Man City more credit than other pundits did post match.

Good appointment.

How many U21 matches do you watch? Because he's really not doing that great a job.

That's what I thought. I haven't been remotely convinced by the U21s lately, they've looked clueless and uninspired. It's all very well Pearce having passion, but you need a bit of nous too.

I refuse to get sucked into the Neville-hating simply because he played for United. Objectively, I want England to do well: and I think he could be a really important part of that.

Can see Neville providing a very much respected link between the management and squad. A very shrewd move by hodgson I think

 

[kevtherev]

Don't be surprised to see Paul Scholes in the England squad. I think Hodgson is exactly the sort of man, Scholes would play for in Euro 2012 and now Neville is on board....who knows. I've suddenly got a good feeling about the summer. Don't know why, I just love the fact we are going into it, totally under the radar and largely written off.

This is the truth.

In Claridge's defence of taking himself too seriously, the guy really does put the hours in. I'm not sure there are any other pundits with his extensive knowledge of club squads from the Premier League down to Conference football. He's not everyone's cup of tea, but I do think he works a lot harder than a lot of his contemporaries.

That's a fair shout. He definitely puts the hours in. Just think he's not very good.

 

[Gullzone]

He's someone who I'm still trying to dislike, but am starting to struggle with it. Good addition I think.

Loads of time for Gary Neville and his football nous is easy to see now, say what you like but Fergie will have trained him well - sparkling choice in my view

 

[Falkor]

He will be next U21 manager and Pearce will take tob job

 

[Northstander]

Woy is learn ing quick eh?

Get the squad on board.....Neville is a top move and will be used as the link between manager and team!!


Clever!!!

 

[piersa]

tremendous acquisition. Loathed the man as a player, as good as he was but he is astonishingly good as a pundit.
