Manchester United legend Gary Neville calls for Theresa May to be sacked in furious tirade and stuns businessmen
MAN United legend Gary Neville stunned an audience of businessmen by calling for Theresa May to be sacked.
The footballer-turned-pundit said the PM was “failing miserably” and “is not the best person available” to run the country.
Neville, 43 — who lasted just four months as Valencia boss and was Roy Hodgson’s assistant when England crashed out of Euro 2016 — was invited to talk about his businesses post-football.
But he launched into a tirade against Mrs May, using the jargon of key performance indicators (KPIs) to put the boot in.
He told the Quickbooks Connect event in London: “The Prime Minister is the CEO of this country. As the CEO it should be the best person available — she is not.
“She has to make sure everyone has a wonderful education, everyone has fantastic access to health service, everybody has fantastic transport and we’re safe as a country.
“If you think about the five KPIs she has, she’s failing miserably.
"So she needs sacking.”
There was some applause at the remarks — in an interview onstage with TV’s Gabby Logan — but she and others were shocked.
