Lush Vlad Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 WTF?! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/news/12028794/Gary-Neville-appointed-Valencia-manager-live.html Ballsy to leave his cushy Sky gig for that like. He'd be an absolute coward if he didn't take that job like How so? Well assuming he wants to be a manager, this is as good a job as he could possibly get. Would be a serious lack of ambition to say no Don't agree. I'm sure he could have dipped his toes at a lower level in this country. Taking over at a massive club in La Liga comes with its fair share of risks. It's a huge job to attempt first time up. As Mojo says. He's leaving a very well paid job with Sky. Where he probably has shit loads of minions and analysts, that help him look so good with his punditry. To take the reigns at one of the biggest clubs in Spain, who haven't got off to the best of starts this season. Even with Moyes and McClaren. I always like it when British managers try and coach abroad. Rarely happens for many reasons. So I think fair play to Neville on this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will never be able to compete with the big two and has to engineer catching Atletico led by Simeone. While not speaking the language, presumably.

The College Dropout Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Lots of silly talk here. Triggs is bang on. Taking it is risky only because it's a massive opportunity. Only a coward would turn it down. Although 9th - 5 points from 4th placed Celta Vigo who you would imagine will fade. Point ahead of Sevilla, point behind Bilbao - all regular contenders for 4th spot. Good chance of top 4 or EL in the league. Decent chance of winning the Europa League this season. Worst case scenario he can come back and do what some had suggested anyway - with the benefit of having big club experience. Nothing to lose. He'll be back in May if things don't work out with a laundry list of excuses anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 4 would be a good job (5 points behind teams that should fall off in the second half of the season). Top 6 - given circumstances would be decent.

Village Idiot Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Most of the Valencia fans I know are up in arms about the appointment. Given that he's inexperienced and that he has business ties with Lim, he's seen as getting the job because of that - like Nuno before him. Just a stooge to get all those shady transfers going without opposition. Neville will have a hard time winning the fans over, but I agree that you just don't turn down a chance like this.

Altamullan Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Good luck to you (Manc) Gazza.I' m not convinced by the need to 'dip your toes at a lower level' argument. Whilst you're not going to get papparazzi following you round if first management gig is at Stevenage (or Salford City), it doesn't matter. Everything is visible. All records, any league, count. You want the best chance of a successful managerial career, if you've got the cahunas to front the press/public interest, start as high-up the pyramid as possible, it has to be easier with better players, or at least easier if compensated by unreal pay and the validation and perceived specialness of the big league jobs.

Village Idiot Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 La Liga is going through the process of selling the several TV packages for the next 3 years (instead of a big single TV contract, La Liga has broken up the rights into 6 different packages). Right now it's looking like it will close deals for around €1600 million/year. In the 2014-2015 season, the last one without collective bargaining, TV contracts earned "only" €800 million.

Taylor Swift Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Live sports is the only thing that gets people to sit in front of a tv at a set time these days so it's the only thing that pays. Everything else on tv can be watched at another time. Every tv operator knows that if they don't have sports on their programme, ain't nobody tuning in for something they can download or watch later. With sports, you can only watch it live to experience it with everyone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With sports, you can only watch it live to experience it with everyone else. This is correct up until a point. Any successful live TV will have this USP. While Social Media has made real time viewing of standard programming even more entertaining. What you're saying is a big deal for the likes of Sky & BT. Whose non-Sports packages can be attained and enjoyed on other, much cheaper, formats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
