[Kingellesar]

Four year contract according to Sky Sports. brilliant news, dunno what will happen about his Sky contract? Guess he will still be a pundit for some games?

Fantastic appointment for England. Astute man, Neville. Insightful and intelligent, and a born winner. Really hope we still see as much of him on Sky.

I wonder what his reaction was.

Ooooooooooooooooooooo!!

Good appointment and he was singing Kyle Walkers praises the other day saying it should be him who gets the right back spot in the summer.

Can't imagine it will interfere with his work for Sky too much either. He obviously won't be available for international fixtures, but he should be able to continue with the league stuff.

Brilliant. He's been amazing on Skysports.

He even picked his own England team for the Euro's which was bang on. No Terry!

Thought he was a dick as a player, but since he has become a pundit I've grown to him a lot. He has a lot of experience, knows the players and knows the game very well. Has worked under the best manager of his generation and already has his UEFA A and B licenses.

Good I think he talks a lot of sense most of the time, actually quite warming to him, always thought he was a cock but now very impressed by him, he also always showed huge passion which he couldn't be faulted for so this will be good in the changing room.

I think he is a very serious person and that comes across to many as being a c*ck. But I always noticed when he was standing in the tunnel ready to come out he was always so focused even when he lined up against Phil Neville for the first time. No smiles, no handshakes, not even a nod of acknowledgement

Is an articulate and dedictaed guy who has won the lot with Utd and never disgraced himself for England (although it would have been nice to see him at least attempt the national anthem once in a while). Will probably be a positive influence on what I think we all hope is a young squad. I'd rather Neville be involved in coaching England than Stuart Pearce.
