Aw, No. I saw the headline this morning about Burton topping League 1, and was thinking it's like a Football Manager story! And thought, I hope they can hold on to Jimmy to get them in the Championship.

Just seen a story linking him to QPR talks <doh> Shame. Would be great if he turns them down and stays loyal to Burton.
 
Isn't it Phil Neville??

EDIT: No, it bloody isn't!
Tough gig, that, as a first job. Especially as I'm assuming he speaks no Spanish. Will be very interesting to monitor his progress.
 
No, it's because I thought Phil was already there as Assistant. I had no idea about the Gary thing until I just looked.
Hopefully he's stitched up Sky Sports a bit.
The more I think about it the more I like it though.

Ahhh right! Yea, that rings a bell that Phil went there to assist. That makes even more sense now. Massive risk for such a big European club! Can't see that working out.
 
If I was a Valencia fan, I wouldn't be thrilled, but as an impartial observer it should be intriguing. I hope he'll try to integrate a little more into the language / culture than Moyes did.

Yea agreed. Especially is Phil and Gary disagree on a lot of things :)
