It won't be dull, that's for sure.

Sky Sports were left with massive shoes to fill following Gary Neville’s shock move to manage Valencia last week. It was a development that saddened the many football fans who enjoyed Neville’s punditry, particularly the in-depth and fascinating analysis from himself and Jamie Carragher on Monday Night Football. How Sky will go about replacing Neville on a long-term basis remains to be seen, but according to the Daily Mail, Carragher’s former Liverpool team-mate Craig Bellamy is being touted as a replacement.

Sky Sports have been keeping their cards close to their chest regarding Neville’s replacement so far, but their plan for the foreseeable future sounds interesting and Carragher is certainly excited about what’s in store on tonight’s show for Everton’s clash with Crystal Palace. https://twitter.com/Carra23/status/673641183319629827 https://twitter.com/Carra23/status/673642162635079680 Watch this space.
