“The only man we could find who is more unpopular than Gary Neville”, he quipped.
Gary Neville paid a visit to former mentor Sir Alex Ferguson’s house to discuss the proposition of managing Spanish team Valencia before accepting the job, as per Sky Sports.
It led Bellamy to the subject of league leaders Leicester, and in particular Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez, the latter of which he credited as the best player in the top flight so far this season.
“Bellamy would have a lot to say”. “How intense he is, how aggressive he is closing down but always just how he plays on the shoulder and looks to go in behind”.
“I spoke to him; he came over to my house”.
You have to think, though, that if a standout performer emerges from what could be seen as an ongoing audition, a permanent replacement for Neville may still be found.
The pair’s Monday Night Football show, which features extensive video analysis, has proven to be popular among fans but Neville’s departure means that its’ future is uncertain.
