Neville was never going to succeed at Valencia. A first job at a massive foreign club was a recipe for disaster. I think Gary neville would be a decent manager for a club but he doesn’t seem to want to get back into it Neville's actually a very good pundit too. I think he's decided that that's where he sees his career, and fair play to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lampard comes in it might be a bit of a circus but at least it will be entertaining.

But the test must be faulty? Quote The tests were conducted by Brian English, the Chelsea club doctor, as part of research into how head injuries can affect footballers' neurological development. "John Terry was in the top three, but Frank Lampard scored one of the highest set of marks ever recorded by the company doing the tests, and higher than me," Dr English said.

I still don't remember many really top english players being any good at managing Brian Clough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please NO!!! I just don't get how he is a viable candidate...He's never managed and surely we need someone with some experience....... Yeah like Pearson... You don't get how he is a viable candidate because you know very little, if anything, about what he has been doing since retiring, and you was not involved in the interview process.

There's a reason pundits are ten a penny - talking about football is easy. 177 goals and 102 assists in the PL from central midfield? 10+ goals in the top flight for 10 consecutive seasons? Can't really argue against his footballing intelligence ? The fact he's a decent pundit just reinforces the idea he can talk sense and might, therefore be a good communicator I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRS94 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I think it would be a good appointment. It will raise the profile of the club in the media, especially on sky.With Mourinho in work at United and his Chelsea past I think we could get some decent loans in, he has links at West Ham also and with Pelegrini (who he played under at Man City) in charge I think we could get some decent players in from there if he ends up having a clear out. Lamps could pull us together on a tighter budget I’m actually quite exited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexydadbod Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Yeah that’s true. He has links at Chelsea, West Ham, Man Utd and Man City. I’m started to become very excited but will inevitably be let down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
