Louis Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Nope, it's pretty much guaranteed that he'll join the coaching staff in the future though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 No. If he was still contributing positively when he played then yeah but he's showing more crapness than good these days . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 I'd give him another year, not the best player but a very positive influence around the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonButtle Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 I'd give him another year, not the best player but a very positive influence around the team. surely he can do that as a member of the coaching staff? he offers us nothing in a playing capacity anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) I still think he has enough to offer to be a squad player certainly this season and maybe another year. I think he'll be a great coach but will want to play on for at least another year or so. With that in mind I can see him following Timmy into MLS.

StevO Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) At right back I really don't think he's any better or worse than hibbert. And as captain of the playing squad he is the go between from players to coaching staff, if he was coaching staff he isn't that same link.

Iamryanstover Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Im ok with letting his contract run down as long as we bring in a replacement. If no replacement is brought in than he has value as a player who could make 10-15 appearances at FB, but let the youngsters play in MID.

I think his time was up at the end of last season I think he would make an excellent coach, all the players seem to look upto him and respect him, he has been the consummate professional and he definitely apperears to inspire those around him It doesnt mean he wont be a great coach just beacause he isnt a great player As far as his contract goes I think its a bit like Cahill, I wouldnt lose any sleep if he did go but I also wouldnt be adverse to offering him another 12 months as I do think there is a bit more about him than pointing his fingers and passing sideways Lowensda and StevO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue4Ever Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) get rid, shite on the pitch the only thing he has ever had is a bit of leadership and organisation. dont want him having the youngsters lumping it up the pitch we have just started to play some good football again.

Hafnia Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Having him around the place can only be a good thing for the required professionalism we want to see. However having him on the pitch is a totally different matter. Every now and then he has a game where you have to admire his desire and application, however there are far too many games - usually against teams where we need to attack them that he is a passenger and his utilisation of the ball is poor. In the games where its backs to the walls and he needs to get everyone marshalled he is an asset, Thats about it. Move him to the back room.

Bailey Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I would probably give him a year extension. Reduce his wages and keep him as cover. I certainly wouldnt want him to be starting too many games, but he could still do a job at FB if someone gets injured or for playing in the early stages of the Cups.

pete0 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I don't see how Neville will be able to fight for a place next season. Coleman will be touching 25 next season, and a team only needs 2 right-backs. If Coleman doesn't have enough to play right back then we should be looking to buy, not keeping Neville on for another year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really need to blood some young 'uns at the back while we still have a little time up our sleeves. I don't think we need much time. Duffy, Coleman and Garbutt could have all done with a loan this season to get them ready for next year, but they should be pushing for a starting place next season anyway. Coleman 23, Heitinga 28, Duffy 20, Oviedo 22/Garbutt 19 plus Barkley further up the pitch. The squads going to be even stronger next year when we're in the champs league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpy1166 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Definitley feel we've got to be moving on from the likes of Neville.

Sideliner Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Neville is in the best position to make the decision - the people around him feel too awkward to tell him that he should go - too much respect methinks for player in that position - John Smith did the same thing to the Springboks - just refused to go - when he should have left - the interest of the team weighs more than respect for the individual - but he seems hellbent to hang on till the pawpaw hits the fan - lets see whether he does the honourable thing by just stepping down ........ i doubt it - he seems to be beyond the point of no return Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see Nev inspire and help the younger lads, from the changing room and the bench.We haven't got a big squad and I can see Neville still around next season.I think he can still do a job for us on the pitch, limited position, limited time.

Avinalaff Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 A few of you need to think outside the box a bit more. Retiring Neville from the starting eleven to the bench, with the opportunity to earn his place, while still having an experienced head around the place is surely better than him leaving. We are all hoping to qualify for European football at the end of the season, and if we do, his experience within the squad will be invaluable. Our need for a strong squad is too great to simply ditch senior players, unless we have others to take their place. StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideliner Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 i understand but then he must not be put in the front line if he has a supporting role to play - have him on the bench to stabalize things if necessary but not to slow things down when we are urgently in need for a touch of speed ......

As you well know, I have critised Mr Neville on a few occasions (although I think he has done pretty well recently) but like you say, having someone with his experience and professionalism around the place is always going to be a massive bonus.

Pearso Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Only job left for him is to show the youngsters how not to play All seriousness though, can't hurt to have him around on the training paddock but if Moyes insists on starting him in the first XI he's limiting the team by essentially playing 10 men in attack. Coleman offers far more at RB than Neville ever does and his defence is starting to get on par, so there's little in terms of benefit at RB IMO, and we all know what he offers at CM. It would be an absolute shame if he needs a tap on the shoulder, but it's starting to look that way because every time I read something about him it's about Pip saying he's keen to keep on playing.
