Goodbye Gary, we wish you well.
News broke on Wednesday afternoon that Valencia had hired Gary Neville as their new manager starting with almost immediate effect.
The La Liga outfit confirmed that the former Manchester United player would take control of the side before their key UEFA Champions League clash against Lyon next week.
Valencia’s gain is Sky Sports’ loss as it means he will have to leave his analyst role on Monday Night Football. This news has been met with despair by some fans who recognise Neville as one of best pundits in the game.
So, to rub salt in the wound, we’ve put together seven clips that will make you want to lock yourself in your room, blare Back For Good by Take That on repeat and cry incessantly into your Manchester United pillow.
