He won't call for a manager's head but I suspect he feels like the majority of fans.
He gets far too much stick on here.

He wants Ole to be given until the end of the season, as that's what he's said. I don't think the majority of United fans agree with him...He won't call for a manager's head but I suspect he feels like the majority of fans.

He wanted Mourinho to get more time until the very end. I guarantee he's still behind Ole.Can’t imagine him being behind giving Ole any more time, he’s too honest and focussed on winning. I don’t expect to see him on any Utd related coverage in the coming weeks as such.
Dont think he’d put himself in that position.
He's been on Sky for what 10 years and has said repeatedly that he won't call for any manager to be sacked. Not sure what people expect, he's hardly going to start now and call for a friend to be sacked.Just like you don't need a weatherman to tell you it's pissing down, you don't need Neville to tell you we're fecked with Ole at the helm. Not sure why there are so many mouth breathers so desperate for him to validate their opinion that Ole is not good enough... can you not think for yourself?
Yeah, and who cares if he does or not? It wouldn't sway my opinion either way.He's been on Sky for what 10 years and has said repeatedly that he won't call for any manager to be sacked. Not sure what people expect, he's hardly going to start now and call for a friend to be sacked.
It matters a lot more than you make out. The board will certainly be listening to his view/other legends alongside what the fanbase and the media/those outside the club are saying. In my opinion the voice of former players is as important or more important than that of the fanbase, at least to the owners.Yeah, and who cares if he does or not?

Neville said it multiple times, he will never call for a manager to be sacked, especially after his Valencia experience.This just means that he is a shit pundit and should not be taken seriously as an analyst then.
None of those managers deserved more time. At this point, it just seems like he's against sacking managers, period. Why even bother saying it then.
And there's no reason why they can't apply the same logic as most of us do when it comes to Neville's opinion on Ole.It matters a lot more than you make out.

Gary’s take is idiotic. He somehow suggests that the only manager who can take us somewhere is a manager that’s not world class since we’ve tried that and it didn’t work. But since Ole didn’t work out we can’t take poor managers, and since Moyes failed we can’t take average ones either. From that, it follows that the only way that Manchester United can ever achieve success is by having no manager and a completely player-led setup, because any manager from world-class to poor has failed.I really don’t mind that Neville isn’t calling for Ole’s head.
What really bothers me, and why I think he’s starting to show his ineptitude as a pundit, is that he keeps using Jose and LvG as an argument to why Manchester United wouldn’t be better off with a world class manager. When asked about what Pep, Klopp or Tuchel could achieve with this united team he brushed it off with “Jose came and it didn’t work”. I just can’t believe that he’s reverting to the same argument over and over again. A good pundit would recognise that:
I honestly think Gary’s biggest issue is he’s too attached to his playing experiences when discussing matters related to United. He’s an owner of a club now, it’s starting to become obvious that outside of united he completely contradicts himself. I’m inclined to believe that Gary is a realist, but for some reason when united comes up, all logic goes out the window.
- Jose and LvG, were both past their prime when they joined united, especially LvG. So to use them as a comparison against best managers of today just shows his lack of knowledge or at least just laziness.
- Just because it didn’t work for Jose and LvG, isn’t a valid excuse to not hire a world class manager. Every other club would hire the best managers, but somehow Gary thinks united are different and unique.
Populist bullshit and as if Ole’s goal had anything to do with his managerial skills and job he’s doing as a gaffer, feck me it’s embarrassing - if you would’ve said 22 years ago that most of the class of 92 that I have idolized back then would turn out to be egoistic cnuts with little valuable to say I would’ve said no way.Tweet

He’s on his third manager at Salford since we’ve hired Ole Watford would be proud.If the manager of Salford spent what Ole had, relative to Salford and their league level of spending and quality of players Neville would have already sacked him
Haha, He’s very ruthless when it comes to his own dealings and businesses.He’s on his third manager at Salford since we’ve hired Ole Watford would be proud.
Defoe is a good pundit
Neville keeping up the pressure on Ole. He's said this result doesn't let him off the hook.
Don't worry, people will still find a reason to slate him.Neville keeping up the pressure on Ole. He's said this result doesn't let him off the hook.
Didn't hear him once call Ole a shit fecking cnut who should be sacked. Dead to me.

NoDoes his opinion even matter ?
Yet his club Salford he sacks managers after winning a trophy and after 4 months of being in the job. Hypocrite of the highest order.He's been on Sky for what 10 years and has said repeatedly that he won't call for any manager to be sacked. Not sure what people expect, he's hardly going to start now and call for a friend to be sacked.
I wish someone in the studio would hit him with this live on air.Yet his club Salford he sacks managers after winning a trophy and after 4 months of being in the job. Hypocrite of the highest order.
It's idiotic. He's an ex footballer though so how much can you expect.I still think his LVG/Jose argument is utterly bizarre.
They have. And Neville admitted he made a mistake by sacking him. So he's speaking from a lesson he's learned in his own experience.I wish someone in the studio would hit him with this live on air.
He literally said press reset at the end of the season but not now. He is an imbecile and knows nothing.He keeps banging on about the long term plan. What plan is this exactly? Doesn't seem like there is one.
Agree I don't have any major issues with him not asking for managers to be sacked outright.He's been on Sky for what 10 years and has said repeatedly that he won't call for any manager to be sacked. Not sure what people expect, he's hardly going to start now and call for a friend to be sacked.
