Gary Neville says he has asked Sky Sports bosses to remove him from commentary duties for Manchester City matches following the club’s latest Premier League outing against Liverpool. Reports describe his request as “take me off” or “take him off,” made after the match and amid ongoing fallout around City.
Outlets link the decision to the broader controversy surrounding City and their standing in the league. While the sports coverage focus is on Neville’s request to avoid commentating, one report also includes cultural reaction: musician Liam Gallagher mocks Neville with remarks about taking a “Scouse mate” with him. Other coverage concentrates more narrowly on the match-triggered request and its timing within the wider debate around City.
Across sources, there is agreement on the core points: Neville made a formal request to Sky Sports regarding commentary on City games; the trigger is City’s Premier League match at Liverpool; and the episode draws additional public attention beyond the broadcast itself.
