Following the appointment of Roy Hodgson, some of the media immediately laid bare their disappointment by poking fun at Hodgson’s rhotacism (yes RTG had to look it up also) – “Bwing on the Euwos”, screamed the Sun.
Gary Neville immediately tweeted: “Disgusting headlines, good journos under pressure writing pieces for their mates and a certain paper needs putting out of circulation”. Rightly, Neville has gained a worthy reputation for his insightful and honest punditry on Sky Sports but he must have forgotten that the Sun is a sister company to Sky, both being owned by News International. Let’s not forget what happened the last time a Sky pundit, Andy Gray, crossed News International during the phone hacking scandal. Biding their time, News International waited for Gray to slip up and took their revenge.
RTG can’t believe that Neville didn’t fully comprehend the implications of his tweet and we are, therefore, all the more impressed by him not being kow-toed to the evil empire that News International is. But watch your back Gary!
