Gary Neville

[Summer_Wolf]

Appointed Valencia manager. Good luck to him, a good manager in the making IMO. A big miss for sky sports though - was always impressed with his analysis

Looking forward to how he does as he certainly talks a good game.

He's got a very good squad available to him at Valencia, bet Phil feels a bit miffed!

 

[Space Wolf]

I saw on Twitter. I thought they'd got the wrong Neville.

 

[Sketchead]

No need to watch MNF anymore then, a real shame in that respect.

 

[The Professional]

Unexpected to say the least, especially with Phil already being there.

 

[Deleted at own request (WeAreTheWolves)]

Massive challenge for him, a very demanding fan base.

Needs to learn the language ASAP, apparently Phil is already fluent which is brilliant from him so he will be effectively running things in the short term I would imagine.

They had some stick over the years but the Salford documentary and various other aspects of their professional life show they are both determined, driven and ambitious. It's hard to not see them doing well as you know they will give it everything they've got and Gary in particular from Sky seems to know his onions.

Interesting. Best of luck to him.

I mentioned Phil Neville would be very much a target of mine personally should KJ move on.

I would have loved either of them here in a managerial / coaching capacity. Think they will do well.

Wonder if he will carry on with England.

Yeah he is, contracted till after Euros I think.

 

[Jonzy54]

I know it is only until the end of the season but if he makes a good stab at it he will probably continue longer and will then be nailed on to replace Hodgson with Phil possibly his Number 2

Yes and I think I would be fairly happy with that.

 

[JOSWolf]

Wow. Didn't expect that. Good luck to him. He will be missed on Sky.

For those who may be interested..

Outside football, Gary Neville is increasingly becoming a big player in the Manchester property market.

Apparently, when Man Utd were playing away, while the rest of the players were playing cards, reading a book or newspapers etc on the coach or plane, Gary would have his head buried in a property magazine..

Not content having played a leading role with Hotel Football, built next door to Old Trafford, he continues to have property aspirations and works closely with Manchester City Council, led by big City fan Sir Howard Bernstein. Always some footy banter between those two.. Neville has now become a valuable and sought after speaker, marketing the city and projects close to him, and has accompanied Marketing Manchester and MCC to the South of France for MIPIM, a major international property convention in Cannes. Neville has several important projects in the pipeline, one notibly worth 150 million at Jacksons Row, and all the work that will entail. On top of his Sky TV and England work, plus his other interests, he has now been made manager of Valencia. More work.. down in Spain. It is quite remarkable how he manages his time..

At the MIPIM property festival last year he admitted he would now rather put on a suit and go to property meetings than pull on a pair of football shorts.

He's a very impressive guy. Similarly I guess to many entrepreneurs, it becomes more of a project management exercise after you have developed the necessary team with any project.

Still, he's got an eye for it. Well connected in all senses and a jolly nice bloke to boot: http://www.theguardian.com/society/...-manchester-hotel-not-average-homeless-hostel

Good luck to him and Phil. You often hear about their exceptional work rate.

Thanks for the video link Nat. A great building and fascinating viewing.

 

[Sheriff Woody]

Fair play to him for not taking over before the Barcelona game this weekend and dropping his brother in the $$$$!

Pleasure.

Good luck to him, hope he does well. Valencia can be demanding.

 

[Deleted member LP 3925]

Valencia can be demanding.

Too true. Just ask El Cid.

 

[Ewok vs Wolf]

Best of luck to him, i will miss not seeing him on MNF.
Valencia have a really good squad, considering they are mid table and on the brink of going out in champions league their season shouldnt get any worse so in that respect he doesnt have anything to lose, the only way is up

 

[Skrilla]

Massive club to start managing at! Have a feeling it's going to be a disaster but wish him all the best with it.

 

[Deleted member 4023]

Just needs to stay on his horse : ) - good luck to him - never heard him disrespect Wolves

Always found him an arrogant sod to be fair, if only be was as good as he thinks he is

 

[Deleted member LP 3925]

I know, at the foot of his tomb in Burgos Cathederal it says 'The Wolves - my boyhood club'

 

[Ercall Wolves]

Loved him as a player and coach with England and loved him as TV pundit.
Good luck to him, would have preferred him to stay in England.

 

[Bjorn Star]

Valencia are owned by the same guy who has a 50% stake in Salford City so it's not all that surprising really.

I only found that out today - makes sense. I wondered why they'd appointed Phil Neville as a coach in the summer...

Jobs for the boys.

I wonder if the Spaniards will bemoan an foreigner with nothing on his CV coming in and nabbing a top job?

That's Peter Lim, Singaporean billionaire who made his money being a stockbroker... big Man U fan and owned the Red Devils Sports Bar franchise in this part of the world. Co-owns McLaren too, I think.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Time to walk the walk now he's talked the talk ...

 

[Fifty Niner]

Looking forward to how he does as he certainly talks a good game.

I think Phil is too nice. Not like his hard faced bro. And it will Bro Gary who gets the flack if things go wrong.

 

[Mighty Thor]

He was sat at the table next to me last night getting boozed up and eating crispy duck (in London). I congratulated him on the new gig and he let us have a photo with him. Top bloke.
