About this deal

There are many things as a football fan that you read about regarding finances, ownership, TV rights etc. When you consider the first class analysis that Gary provides for Sky Sports (as well as the fact that he managed Valencia and was part of a recent England coaching team), you would probably come to expect more than what this book gives you in terms of insight. The things I didn't like about the book was that at places, the stories were kept short specially about his later part of his career.

Time for Premier League club owners to bring our game into 2023 and stop being so short sighted and insular. With stories from his own playing career, as well as insight into some of the biggest footballing decisions in recent history, this is a total look at the game today. In today's era of frequent chopping and changing and footballers running behind money, it is a refreshing walk down memory lane with a true one club man who loved watching United play from the South upper stand and then went on to realize his dreams of playing for, captaining and winning the treble with Manchester United. This Swiss cuckoo (ha) got the biggest decision of his life absolutely wrong and we lost because of him.There are some good insights into some of the most interesting Man Utd personalities, but nearly not enough of these. His experiences and honesty about playing for England are refreshing and do capture the growing feeling of contempt towards international football in this country, but beyond that?

When I finally finished the book and closed it - to find Red Nev's ugly phizog staring at me once more from the dust jacket, I was shaking and febrile. The sensational, brutally honest autobiography of the legendary Manchester United captain No player has been more synonymous with the glory years of Manchester United Football Club over the past two decades than right-back Gary Neville.The only area of the Neville brothers' football careers that I was in the dark about before reading this book, was their early development in the game.

Gary Neville will admit that he's not the most talented footballer in the world, however what makes him great is his determination, his drive to succeed.And then Gary Neville, with his thick and bushy moutache, caps a man-of-the-match performance with the cross for England's third which is bundled somewhat luckily home by a fortunate Scouser.

Tidey’s book, published in paperback by Bloomsbury, benefits and suffers from all chronicles of supporter experiences. That this image had such a profound affect on me is perhaps not a great reflection of the quality of the prose. But they should still read this book, as it is a fairly honest and insightful account of twenty years of Manchester United dominating British football. The book has a good personal tone and Neville isn't afraid of giving his opinions or speaking his mind, which makes for a good read.LIVERPOOL CONFIDENTIAL: Jurgen Klopp's shock exit will spark a summer of turmoil, Ruben Amorim joins Xabi. Spending a few hours in his literary company is enjoyable enough, because for any United fan it means spending a few hours on a pleasing trip through the incredible successes of the past twenty years.
