    I tell you what he went up in my estimation today. He reacted and spoke like a fan when asked about the Greed Proposal.

    He also managed to slag off

    1. Man U by stating they had acted like a small Club for the last 8 to 10 years and weren’t even in the Champions League this year.

    2. Liverpool by sarcastically reminding the Owners that they claimed to be the People’s Club and referenced YNWA.

    3. Arsenal by pointing out they were a small Club not in the Champions League this year and wouldn’t be next year.

    4. Chelsea and Man City by simply calling them “New Money”.

    5. Spurs by saying he wasn’t even bothered about them.

    Qudos to him and hopefully Sky and BT will take note. No tv money, no sponsors, no Greed League.

    I honestly think a PL without those vile scum will eventually be better and more competitive where a different team could In theory win it each year.

    They could promote 4-6 out of the non league upwards and so on and so forth.

    That would be absolute heaven. Scrap the ****ing bullshit "Champions" League and go back to a European Cup PURELY for winners, a UEFA Cup for the next 2 or 3 and a competitive league where decent teams get a shot every, single year.

    Not gonna happen, like.

    Yep that was class. Went in proper 2 footed. Studs up.

    Surely it can't happen. It's absolutely ridiculous you can't even be relegated from it

    Have the broadcasters got anything to do with this btw? Presumably someone has got to air it generate the kind of revenue they are planning to give each club every year.

    Respect. Neville speaking from the heart.
    This feels like a real tipping point. If these clubs join this ESL, they need to be frozen out of all their domestic organisations. They can globetrot for gold, but never return. They'll do well financially, for sure, but will be utterly soulless vehicles.

    Just listened to GN again and absolutely love the way he dismisses Spuds. Absolute classic.

    He speaks from the heart but he uses his brain.

    He was always one of the better analysts but he should be one of the focal points in the campaign against the Greedy Six.
