Opinions on Gary Neville seem to change on a dime.
He was the best thing since sliced bread up until 2 hours ago.

Did Gary Neville shag your missus or something?
I think mostly people are embedded in their own opinions of him and this forum of different people.
Neville's response to Klopp
Anything positive about Liverpool or City and he's back to being shit on their shoe
Does steaming hypocrisy not count if the guy doing it played for United?
Apparently not...
According to Rhodri they were all at it so there's a good chance he did.
I get that and agree with you. But even here can see that the super league is a seismic leap in an even worse direction
Klopp’s chatting shit there. Clearly he can’t say what he wants to and Nev never criticised the Liverpool team or players only the club, to the same degree he criticised Manchester United.
Any clips of Carragher criticising Sky?
I think Gary is talking from the heart but honestly, its just too much of him at this stage. Its a good 3 hours of Gary talk over the last 24 hours. I don't see what hammering 1 mans opinion is going to achieve.
Garry post match comments have been spot on tonight.
The scouser inciting violence, nice.
That's a great response from Nev
100%. On top of that he could be in breach of contract and get sued
Good response from Gary. I don't think he's been over-exposed. Its just that his opinion is articulate and heart felt so immediately jumped on by contrarians as self-righteous. Sure he's not perfect but he's putting forward his point of view. In a way that is genuinely interesting/insightful to hear. No idea what the problem is.
Say what is wrong? The owners of the “elite” clubs seeking out more power and more revenue? If so, I’m a Socialist. I fundamentally disagree with the concentration of power and wealth in the hands of an elite few. But is it “wrong” that in a capitalist system, the bigger, badder capitalists continue to eat the smaller, weaker capitalists? Football should be a level playing field for all. We should have had salary caps, limits on transfer spending, fan ownership of clubs, home grown player rules, limits on how many players a club can own etc...but we don’t. The PL and UEFA and even Sky could have reformed the game but they didn’t. They let it become sick and refused to treat the disease.
My point (a view shared by many others) is that it’s sickening watching Sky and the PL suddenly start preaching to us who have argued for a fairer system for fans and clubs for years. They have exploited us to the point many couldn’t take it any more and walked away. Now they want our help because some bigger, badder wolf is threatening to blow THEIR house down? This club knows better than any the dangers of foreign ownership. There’s 100,000 messages on this forum to that effect.
I don’t understand your point about Keane and Neville’s wealth. I have never mentioned their wealth at all. I have continuously referenced the fact I would perhaps have more respect for their opinions if they were honest enough to point out their employers created this mess in the first place.
The point you seem to be failing to see is that I agree with the principle of what Neville and the rest are saying but why were they saying it now and not in 2003 when Roman bought Chelsea or in 2005 when the Glazers bought Utd or in 2009 when Sheikh Mansour bought City and on and on and on...? I’m not having Sky setting the narrative of them somehow being the fan’s champion. This should be a fan movement. I’ll get behind that 100%. I’m not getting behind anything Sky say or do because they go against everything I stand for and as far as I am concerned this is all of their chickens coming home to roost.
He was brilliant tonight. Response to Klopp in particular was top notch.
“Come on Brighton”
“Come on Southampton”
“Come on Villa”
“Come on Everton”
I wonder if he would have said “come on....” if they were playing us

“ I don’t know why I’m living in his head to be honest “
Love it
Love it
Absolutely superb tonight. Proving why he is far and away the best pundit out there.
To be honest if anyone should be having a pop at Neville it is Arsenal and Spurs fans, he keeps dismissing them when he is calling for all fans to unite.
I think hes been amazing the last couple days since this news broke.
Any chance of merging all these Gary Neville threads btw?

We need DT and Troopz out there giving their opinions
It's a shame that didn't come up. I reckon he would have.“Come on Brighton”
“Come on Southampton”
“Come on Villa”
“Come on Everton”
I wonder if he would have said “come on....” if they were playing us
Moving towards a non competitive competition or invite only competitions is surely not a natural evolution of the game
This is just job to many players/managers. Between fans, the love of the game, or their own well being, it's not hard to see where their priority lies. Just like many of us here would. Did Neville ever condemn Sky when working for them? I doubt it.100%. On top of that he could be in breach of contract and get sued

Considering he was saying United should be docked points and relegated, I'm sure he would have.“Come on Brighton”
“Come on Southampton”
“Come on Villa”
“Come on Everton”

Absolutely 100% agree with what's been said here.
To reiterate what you said. WE are ALL complicit with what has happened to the club we all knew and love(d) over the years. From players to fans we have all, in one way or another helped these snakes, who i personally think resemble boa constrictors. We have stood back and watched them sqeeze the life out of this club with little to no resistance or major disruptions for far too long.
It was inevitable something like this was going to happen somewhere down the line.
All the fans who are dead against these owners, the big question is, what are we going to do about it??? We need to stop being armchair anarchist and actually walk the walk.
This thread is a prime example of why this super league garbage has manifested, fans can't get out of their own way with their petty agendas, his City comments were about the investment in the local area and he did say it was a PR thing by them but it still benefitted the people living there.
There are no squeaky clean Superman heroes, they don't exist, but what the Glazers and Fenway, Perez, Abramovich etc....are doing is worse than any skeleton in Neville, Carragher, Rio, Sky and BT's closests, how hard is to put salty bullshit aside until this ESL is squashed, and then go back to sniping and hating for personal reasons?

Does his contract mean he can't articulate a clear opinion? I guess Milner mustn't have the same clause in his as he was direct and succinct in his views after the game. Said more in one sentence than Klopp waffled in 2 seperate interviews, he seemed more interested in his personal beef with Neville.
I think it'd be goid to get a different opinion now. Gary is by far the most opinionated pundit and tends to dominate narratives.
We could do with an equally opinionated guy who has a different take on things.
I listened to Simon Jordan earlier on Talksport. Very interesting and opened my eyes a little. It'll never happen but those two in a studio would be fun.
Fantastic post.
He said he was against it. Thats about as damning as he will ever be able to get as Liverpool manager. You reckon any manager is going to openly bury their employer 30 mins before a game? Chastise them? Grow up. We will hear his real opinion in the inevitable book deal when hes done
This was even more evident by the way they kept referring to "the 6 clubs" when there are obviously 12. Basically ignoring the foreign clubs involved.
It's natural in the way that it's moving toward a stage where it can make more money.
So he'll say it when he's made a few more million off them and then make more putting it in his book? classy. As far as growing up goes, I believe if you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything, you act like Klopp is on the fecking breadline with nowhere to go if he spoke his mind, wake up, the idea there's something grown up about being a mealy mouthed dodger is a weird one to me, especially when you have the financial security and job prospects he has.
Yeah there is no doubt that PL & UEFA should never have allowed these takeovers to ever happen in the first place
Yeah will he say the same when we go there on Sunday is the big question“Come on Brighton”
“Come on Southampton”
“Come on Villa”
“Come on Everton”
I wonder if he would have said “come on....” if they were playing us
