If he's a co-owner of another league club (Salford City) would he still be allowed to manage a second club due to possible conflict of interest ?
NO.
Getting rid of someone who's stopped being able to do the job and bringing in someone else to do it are two separate things. The "who would you replace him with" argument is no reason at all to persist with something that's not working. Any other chairman in the league would have sacked CH after Bournemouth. The dressing room would have further fractured, attack minded players would have refused to join us and we'd have spent the season in 19th, one point above Sheffield United with Murray our top scorer on 4. Frankly the next guy can't do much worse than that.
Here’s my list of reasons why:
Untested
Uncharismatic - unlikely to be able to motivate
Despite his career he isn’t going to attract named players [unless he gets his old pals out of retirement]
When I hear him speak all I hear are modern day football and already overused and tired vernacular - for example saying ‘football club’ after the name of every team referenced because in some way you think it makes you sound clever - it doesn’t it makes you sound thick and incapable of independent thought.
Lack of all round gravitas.
Sure he may be a sound chap, he’s a solid family man, he manages the England Women’s team, and frankly for me that’s his level.
CH was a nice chap but I damn well bet if you ****ed up he let you know about it in no uncertain terms.
Neville is about as able to rinse someone out for a shit performance as I am. And don’t get me started on how he got so many England caps.
Does his stint as assistant manager at Man United not count?
Misquoting me, responding to the comment regarding lack of top level experience not being an issue......
More of a generalisation than Neville specific.

Haven’t read this thread, but can someone tell me if there is anything on it that isn’t wild speculation about someone’s perceived abilities from people who have absolutely no knowledge of them?

It’s all that mate. Dont bother.
“Phil Neville is shit...because I don’t know what I’m talking about..I know” is about the size of it.
God, I feel ill.
I'd sooner have an inanimate carbon rod in charge of the team.
Mikel Arteta - Never managed, didn't play for a successful team.....has cool name
Phil Neville - Managed the England womens team, played for a successful team.....is called Phil.
I can see why people prefer Mikel. (a name suggested many times over)
I personally don't want Phil Neville in as much as I pretty much have my heart set on Potter but it's funny how personality/impression given to the public really effects our judgement on whether they could do a job or not. He could be a brilliant tactician but because he seems a bit wet and is called Phil, it is assumed he is cack.
He has absolutely no track record as a league manager
