Read up a bit about him last night after Neville posted about him getting banned. Seems a bit of an unsavoury character. Investigated in relation to the murder of a policeman. A separate court case where he was the accused was scrapped when pretty much all the witnesses conveniently died.

Does England have a fit and proper test?

Same vague one as Scotland sadly, if you've got the money you're in, and if you have 41 tax convictions you can buy the then defunct Glasgow rangers. Known as the fat & protestant person test at the time I think

Nottingham Forest have banned Gary Neville for being Co-commentator for tomorrows game v Chelsea
This unprecedented

Neville said, Forest would not give me an accreditation or access to the stadium as a co-commentator

Think he commented on the Forest owners charge onto the park at the recent home game v Leicester

I don’t know anything about the Forrest owner but his charge onto the park in the recent home game v Leicester he was heavily criticised by the media which was said afterwards had nothing to do with the result , performance but more a player’s safety who ended up in a induced coma needing surgery .

Neville managed Valencia for 16 games in which he only won 3 and failed to keep a clean sheet in any of them but is quite happy to criticise other managers/ chairmen’s in what they are doing wrong . Personally always thought Neville was a D*** and fair dues to the Forrest owner on his stance .

Neville's been pretty open and honest that he failed ah Valencia, he doesn't claim to be a top manager. He atleast have it a go though unlike some pundits.

He seems pretty fair to me, his job is to give give analysis on games whether that be positive or negative.

He's got pretty much the top job in football punditry because he's the best IMO.

[supermcginn]

That Forest owner is a complete head case, Sky should just tell Forest to get stuffed and show a different game instead. Neville is an excellent commentator and his overlap show is the best football show there is.

No but he acts as a pundit in his criticism of other managers like he has been a top manager even though he was a failure.

As to the Forrest chairman i think he’s right in Neville called him out and said the manager should quit the football club even though he had a valid reason at the time for going onto the field ..

I thought the same as Neville in fairness at the time but I was wrong . I don’t remember Neville admitting he was wrong . Understand where the chairman is coming from regarding Neville on this occasion.

I'm not sure the fact he didn't do well at Valencia means he can't have an opinion on players and managers. As a player he he played at the very highest level for over a decade, he clearly knows the game.

Put it this way, he's about a million times more qualified than anyone on here, yet we've got plenty posters who've never played the game to any level let alone elite, telling us how managers and players are getting things wrong.

I agree he’s a million times more qualified than anyone on here but like us all he can still be wrong on occasions which he is sometimes and on this occasion I think he’s totally wrong in condemning the chairman and telling the manager to quit .

If he had came out afterwards and said he got it wrong , maybe apologised I’d like to think the chairman would have taken a different approach but I haven’t seen anywhere that Neville has admitted he was wrong or apologised so I think the Forrest chairman is justified in his actions regarding Neville’s comments.

I don’t think Neville’s failed managerial stint should have any bearing on whether he can criticise others. You don’t have to be good at something to know when someone else isn’t doing it well.

Why should he admit he was wrong, if he doesn’t think he is? It’s absolutely pathetic behaviour from the Forest chairman.

I like Gary Neville, but I appreciate that he’s not everyone’s cup of tea. One thing he’s definitely proven over the years is his ability to take criticism, and the quite merciless piss-taking that he’s subjected to at times on the tv and his podcasts.

Neville’s entitled to his opinion on this, as Forest are entitled to ban him. I know which one I think is petty and vindictive.

And I would gladly listen to Franck Sauzee’s views on football any day of the week, even though things didn’t work out for him as a manager.

The big money game also kicks off soon, for me i hope Sunderland can do it today.

Not sure if it would be better or worse for us in terms of getting Triantis if they won or not?

Ok , that’s fair enough but in regards to some of Neville’s comments about the chairman in using words like
‘ scandalous’ and stating that the manager should resign over the chairman coming on the field and confronting him i think he’s wrong on .

It was suggested at the time it was due to the performance / result which triggered the chairman’s reactions but that NOW doesn’t appear to be the case in it was a players safety that was the issue. I think Neville jumped the gun on being overly critical when he didn’t know all the facts ! Totally in the Forrest Chairman’s camp on this .

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

The funniest thing about forest is their owner diluted his share in the club in preparation for champions league football (due to also owning Olympiakos who've qualified).

Since then they've completed **** the bed and sitting 7th

Nowt wrong in what Neville said imo. He seems a bit of a loose cannon and an all round dodgy character which i think Nev is starting to call out and that's what's causing the ban

Player safety? How would the Chairman know better than the medical staff and manager in regards to the players ability to continue playing?

Read that if Sunderland win today then Triantis will get a big pay increase. Not sure what he's on at the moment or what that increase will be but it may make the deal difficult.

[CentreLine]

Strangely feeling nervous about the cup final today. Everything says Celtic stroll this and we benefit. Then think complacency is their biggest enemy. Let’s hope they stay focused.

I like Gary Neville and am a bit of a Forest fan, on this one I think Neville took a fire, aim, ready approach and is now in the Mikey Stewart camp of not being able to be wrong.

On the Forest owner point, the fans don't know what he's going to do next, and I suspect he doesn't either some times. I think given his emotions at the time and his apparently genuine concern about the player his response was understandable if OTT.

I wouldn't have banned Neville but a wee bit of humility goes a long way sometimes.

He wouldn’t but it’s now being said that was the issue he had which I think is a valid one considering the events that followed regarding the player safety..

I was of the same opinion as Neville in I thought the chairman was overreacting about the performance and result. I was wrong as was Neville . Thankfully i didn’t publicly call the chairman out as ‘ scandalous or say the manager should quit though .

I watched the game at the time and thought that the player looked in pain and should have been taken off as they were basically like a man down anyway with him on .


I think i both have reacted badly to a degree though my opinion is it was Neville that lit the fire by jumping in without knowing all the facts .i did too in thinking it was purely on the performance and result which clearly wasn’t the case now . Anyhow .. Mon the celts😉

Aberdeen going to back 3 (or 5) for the first time this season.

Desperation or a masterstroke?

See if this goes to extra time or pens and we have £5m and Europe to Xmas riding on it 👀

Owner does not like what someone says about him, bans person. Thinnest skinned owner of all time, whats next thecamera man got his wrong side and made him look fat?

Pundits are employed to give their opinion, right or wrong but you cant go banning them because you dont like it, especially someone as fair as Neville is.
