    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.

    As did Martin O'Neill while at Wycombe. In charge there for 5 years, despite being 'head-hunted' many times over that period. Great to see in this age of knee-jerk reactionism <ok>

    Not really Peter Lim, Valencia's Singaporean owner, has a stake in Salford City, the non-league club co-owned by Neville.

    Oh really!? What's the connection with a Valencia Singapore owner and Salford? If there a Man U link somewhere?

    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.

    Why's that? Gary seems more switched on than his brother, I know who I'd rather. Is it because it might effect his England role that your surprised??

    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.

    Strange choice, really. I'd have thought David Moyes would have been a shoo-in, given his experience of la Liga and grasp of the lingo and all <whistle>

    Starting to look like we played Liverpoo at the right time!
    Having gone a first minute goal down at St Mary's, they canter to a 1 - 6 win <yikes>

    I imagine it's taken until now for the Radio Shannock valves to warm up enough to find out the score? <whistle>
