Newcastle Next Manager: 5 Best Choices To Replace Steve McClaren

4. Gary Neville

The Manchester United legend may not have been a popular figure on Tyneside (or anywhere outside of Manchester) during his playing days, but his top-level punditry on Sky Sports showed he certainly knows what he's talking about when it comes to football. He isn't exactly enjoying a smooth ride over in Valencia, but maybe it's a case of biting off more than he can chew with the Spanish side. His Premier League experience is second to none and, although this was also the case with Alan Shearer, Neville has coaching experience in the England ranks and his heart definitely wouldn't rule his head when any tough decisions were required. He is a man with a big ego and his stint in Spain may have dented his pride, but if he was given the chance to jump ship and join an English club, it may be a challenge he would relish.
