He looks like a bald Benicio Del Toro! Or adding Poch’s hair would complete the transformation!

We often comment on the recycling of old managers from one job to another regardless of their success in previous roles, so I thought this on Phil Neville pertinent.


Phil Neville's Miami move would mark another door being held open for him

While England Women have drifted, their outgoing coach may be falling on his feet again with his old pal David Beckham

... perhaps it is an appropriate moment to reflect on Neville’s journey in coaching, a trajectory that at the relatively young age of 43 has already landed him a number of coveted positions. England Under-21s, Manchester United, Valencia, Salford City, England women – and now, it seems, Miami. Just how does he keep doing it?

Clearly, given his conspicuous lack of success in most of these roles, the only possible conclusion is that Neville must be one hell of an interviewee – the sort of guy that walks into a room and just charms people. Of course, it helps when the people you are trying to charm are old friends like Beckham. Or former managers such as David Moyes at United. Or your brother Gary at Valencia. Or yourself, as co-owner of Salford. Or when you are offered the job without even applying, as with England.

The defining motif of Neville’s coaching career to date is a series of doors being held open for him: a path that ironically enough would not exist for a woman of his equivalent talent. Still, in his inimitable capacity to keep falling into ever more lucrative jobs, Neville has demonstrated a defiance of meritocracy that will reward him well beyond football. Expect him to turn up as foreign secretary in about a decade.

I doubt that, he can hardly string two words together and make any sense.

Been there 18 months and they only just avoided relegation last season. I know nothing about them but would be surprised if he took over a dog brick side in China, what’s the point except $?

If they weren’t dog brick before he arrived then he’s just continuing his Saudi Sportswashing Machine form. And people call Jose a dinosaur!
