Watching MOTD Alan Shearer football genius .knows it all,time he stopped telling managers what they're doing wrong;stand up to the plate and let's see how good you are at being a manager?
He talks the talk,not got the bottle to do the walk.
It's alright sitting in their comfy chairs going over each decision a million times and then putting it all right,live football ain't like that and he should know better.
No bottle,always easy to criticise .
If that penalty was given against forest that loveren conceded how many of you would say,yes that's a penalty?
Soft to say the least .
Man up shearer get a proper job even though you seem over qualified.

{Ed007's Note - I've destested Shearer for as long as I can remember and I'm 43!}

He already tried it as player manager, it wasn't great, 1 win in 8 and got relegated. That was back when Hughton took them back up again the previous time they got relegated.

My point exactly gingerkid,had the same with Neville telling us all what premier managers are doing wrong.
We'll he was an instant success? Not.
Danny "I fiddle my tax" and was an average Liverpool player when they were struggling,Murphy,Just sticks the knife into Klopp at every opportunity,managing players isn't easy when they earn the amounts they do,it's about finding the right players with the desire to succeed even though they are millionaires with women falling all over them.
Some of these ex players should put up or shut up.

I understand your point, but in Neville's case he was a quality player and he is very good when it comes to how the game should be played.

There is a difference however between that and as you mentioned being able to handle millionaire players to get them to do what you want.

What would broadcast companies say if the people they employed to give their opinions on games just stood, or sat there and said:

Well i played football for many years but who am i to point out where successful managers have gone wrong in this game.

When i'm watching a pundit i do not want a boring, he has done well, he could be a world beater,blah, blah.

I want somone to be honest, and tell it as it is in their eyes, especially when they were quality as a player, or when they are a successful manager.

Neville may be boring 💤 but he has given a honest opinion, and done enough to stir a strong opinion in yourself, so he has done his job.

I'm with FF79 on this one, Gary Neville has no personality, and is one of the dullest pundits out there. I'm more likely to tune out when he's one!

Point is with Neville,he failed with England failed in Spain,yes he might have been a good footballer as shearer was,but it's so easy to keep stop starting the game when it's finished and tell everyone were it went wrong,it happens in split seconds on the pitch players make right or wrong decisions,the manager can't control that,he certainly wouldn't send them out to do a bad job.
The man's irritating and so is shearer,Just taking easy money without putting his neck on the line,he'll have had offers but ain't got the bottle.

{Ed001's Note - to be fair to Shearer he has applied for a number of jobs in the past, including Cardiff, but expected too big a wage and so priced himself out of the market. Since then he has settled comfortably on the sofa and stopped applying.

Other than that I fully agree with you.}

To be fair, Sheared was a talented striker and a tough cookie. Who can forget when Fergies enforcer our own Roy Keane (admittedly pumped up and psychotic by this stage in his career) took a swing at him and missed. Shearer just stood his ground and stared through him whilst Keane was bouncing up and down like a thwarted loser. Sharers look just said "Keano, you are welcome to have another pop but you'd be making a big mistake". There was only going to be one winner and he wasn't Irish! I think our Roy was relieved that several players interposed themselves and even more relieved when he got sent off! Respect to Shearer though.
