Former Premier League midfielder Don Hutchison has criticised Gary Neville's punditry, accusing him of dominating debates and leaving no room for others. Hutchison, who played for Everton and Sunderland, branded Neville 'The Oracle' for his strong opinions that he presents as indisputable truth.
Speaking to BestBettingSites, Hutchison said: 'The thing with Gary Neville is he's got an opinion, and he's got a strong opinion, but he doesn't let anyone else in on the opinion. He doesn't let anyone else in on the debate.' He added: 'The Oracle thinks when he says something, it's got to be - that's it. That's the truth there. He doesn't leave anything for anyone else to debate footy.'
Neville, 51, has been a pundit for Sky Sports since retiring from playing in 2011. He spent over two decades at Manchester United, winning 19 top-flight titles. His first punditry appearance was on Monday Night Football in August 2011, covering Manchester City's 4-0 win over Swansea City. Since then, he has become one of England's leading pundits, also working for ITV and running his own YouTube channel, The Overlap, with over 1.6 million subscribers.
Neville has often faced accusations of bias when analysing Manchester United matches. He is set to co-commentate on West Ham's Premier League match against Arsenal on Sunday for Sky Sports, alongside Peter Drury. He regularly appears on Monday Night Football with Jamie Carragher.
