I think this shows that the Spanish league is dominated by the big three at the moment. The other clubs don't have a chance in competing with the financial power that these three have - particularly Barca and Real.
But Valencia were playing around European places at the start of November, now under Neville they are second half of the table just 5 points off relegation places!

Should he resign now after that 7-0 thrashing by Barcelona? An ex-player thinks so.

Bit harsh, calling for his resignation. Still got the second leg yet.............. :D :D

Since 1988-89 Valencia have never been outside the top ten; twice champions, and thirteen times 2nd - 4th.

Looks very much against them maintaining this record going ...

Gary Neville sacked by Valencia after less than four months in charge

Former Manchester United and England defender Gary Neville has been sacked by Valencia after less than four months in charge of the Spanish club.

The 41-year-old, who is part of the England coaching set-up, was given his first managerial job in December.

Valencia won three of their 16 league games under the former television pundit, and 10 of 28 games overall.

Neville said he wanted to stay but results had "not been to my standards" or those "required by this club". He added that he understood "we are in a results business".

Neville's younger brother Phil is also part of the Valencia coaching team and will be retained.

Neville first faced calls to quit after a 7-0 loss to Barcelona in the Copa del Rey semi-final first leg in February. His last match in charge was a 2-0 home defeat by Celta Vigo just before the international break.

He has spent the past six days with the England squad for friendly games with Germany and the Netherlands.




Analysis

European football expert Andy Brassell:

"I don't think he did have any chance of turning it around and I think it was an incredibly difficult first job.

Not just because of the relative lack of experience, not just because of the size of Valencia, but because of the situation he was going into.

The fans were pretty unhappy with the way the club was being run, players were dispirited but you add to that the lack of experience, the communication barrier - it was just all too much."

No surprise but that was really a difficult appointment ... Valencia are in disarray but are undeniably a big European club with European finals behind them. Maybe he should have cut his teeth a bit lower first ...
