Barton getting fired into Gary Neville. As much as Barton is a twit, he is right about Neville. The Neville myth has exploded.

That he's the best pundit in the world and therefore the best manager-in-waiting in the world.

Only someone who'd been repeatedly dropped on their head as a child would believe either of those things to be true though.

Why the feck would anyone give a flying eff what Joey Barton has to say about anything though? He was an insufferable cockend even before he joined Sevco, I can only imagine he's even worse now.

Plenty of people were backing Neville when he got the Valencia job.

Barton is the first person I have seen mention Neville's role in England's failure at major competitions. He is a complete arsehole though. Barton that is, not Neville.

Lee Dixon, one of the better TV pundits, absolutely routed Neville on Monday night, even at half-time.

There wasa bit of myth and hype regarding Neville's punditry but when it first arrived, it was fresher and more insightful than what was being served up at the time. Not sure if anyone who wasn't employed by Sky Sports bought into him going on to be a brilliant manager, although many were certainly wishing him well in the role.

Neville was a good pundit. He was refreshing in that a) he analysed a game well and b) he wasn't afraid to criticise anyone (even his ex team mates).

Didn't mean he would ever be a good manager or coach though.

It's almost as if those charged with analysis of opposition teams are not tasked with selecting personnel or setting tactics... :ponder:

The England job is becoming a bit of a poisoned chalice. Hiding to nothing type of thing. I reckon they will appoint Southgate. He's in the system anyway.
Becoming? It's been a poisoned chalice since Bobby Robson left a quarter of a century ago. I don't think there's a single person who's had the job since whose cv hasn't been ruined by it. Mostly of their own doing in fairness.

Given the way everyone praised Neville for his punditry and how badly it reflected on those before him, I'm sure they'll all enjoy sticking the boot in now.

I've no idea how good or bad a coach he is, but he's definitely guilty of making a couple of really bad decisions on jobs.

I miss Gary Neville the pundit. I kinda wanted him to do well at Valencia, probably too big a step for your first job in management. Being a good pundit doesn't make you a good manager

To be fair, when you're working with players who are vastly overhyped, there's only so much you can do to turn that hype into reality.

It really doesn't help that the people who do all the hyping are the first ones to question why the players aren't as good as they say they are.
