In the last 15 or so years we have had to listen to a lot of pro - liverpool club bias in the media, personally I have never minded it and it has never bothered me, people are entitled to have their opinions and veiws so fair play but a lot of people do find it annoying, be it from former players or people in the Media who grew up supporting the top team, it makes sense, they use to be the big dogs so are bound to have a lot of middle aged fans from all walks of life. Gary Neville is the beggingi of the Utd era in the media, and it will hit big time when it comes. Ex - Players, fans in the media who are coming through now who started supporting us early nineties etc. Believe you me, we are going to get a lot of the media are biased to utd. Should be a good laugh. The ABU's are going to do their nut. On a side note, who else is shocked neville isnt going to become a coach at OT, out of all the old guard I thought he was nailed on to stay at the club forever. Thought out of him schoels and gigsy he would be the one most likely to coach and I didnt see him going into the media tbh, defo dont see scholes being a pundit when he hangs up his boots.
I reckon Neville will eventually become a coach at United. He loves the club to much so its going to be that or an ambassador of some form.
I agree - eventually I'd expect Nev will join the ranks of ex Utd coaches and managers. Seems that there's very little ex Utd, and ex SAF, players on TV cos most of the high profile ones have gone on to become managers. Bruce, Hughes and McLeish in the Prem, and any number of others in the championship and other leagues. In contrast Lawro, Hansen, Redknapp, Thompson et al probably couldn't hack the pressures of being a manager, so they just sit on the sofa and long for the glory days.
the reason there as so many ex-liverpool pundits on tv and radio is because none of them could hack it as managers/coaches/any top position in football or left the game due to being 'tired and emitional' (glug glug) like dalglish. a lot of them tended to be british/irish as well, wereas we have more of a multinational side (for example, schmeichel has gone off to front danish CL coverage) who'd rather be pundits in their own countries. the journos are all of an age where the main big team to support was pool (hence colin murray and the like). i'd expect to see more united-following journos come through in the next decade as the likes of alan '****' green retire (i dream of that day...) don't expect to see many ex-united pundits, since most will remain in the game. would love to see gary as the new andy gray - the abuse he'd give the dippers would be superb.
