Dear Deidre, I am worried my Spanish fling could dump me

GARY NEVILLE is desperate to turn his Spanish mess around and beat the boot at
Valencia.

The under-fire boss is winless in NINE La Liga games — and was humiliated
7-0 at Barcelona in last week’s Copa del Rey semi-final first leg
.

That prompted club legends David Albelda and Santiago Canizares to call for
his head.

Neville’s side sit just four points above La Liga’s drop zone — and face a
crunch clash with relegation rivals Espanol on Saturday

And the Mestalla crowd are unlikely to be happy with anything other than a
resounding win.

So Gary turned to SunSport’s resident agony aunt Deidre for some advice...

Dear Deidre,

I AM worried my Spanish fling could be about to dump me.

I’m a red-blooded Mancunian man and was recently seduced into a move to Spain
by a close friend.

He is the owner of Valencia football club, and asked me to take on the role of
manager and save the side from relegation in La Liga.

I was previously working one night a week as a pundit on Sky television, and
had great chemistry with one Scouse colleague in particular.

And I was happy in Manchester, where I ran a small football team with some
pals.

But the opportunity to add some Spanish sizzle into my life was too much to
resist.

Plus my brother was already out there, and I was jealous of his tan.

It all started OK. I won a couple of Cup games and even got an old enemy the
sack with a draw against the mighty Real Madrid.

But it quickly turned sour.

I still have not won a game in La Liga. And we were drubbed 7-0 by Barcelona
last week.

I am determined to turn it around, but I just don’t know how.

I have a good group of players, but sometimes I feel like we just don’t
understand each other.

And if I don’t start winning games soon, I’m worried I could be shown the
door.

What should I do next?

DEIDRE SAYS: I FEEL your pain, Gary. It is
never nice to be left out on a Lim by a friend.

You are also miles from home – and the sanctuary of the Sky studio.

Maybe you should try you luck elsewhere closer to home — Salford maybe?
