I also think his commentating MO is brought into even sharper relief by the stark contrast with the procession of ex-united (apart from Neville) and Liverpool players who are hired as talking heads on Sky and the BBC who are incapable of any form of independent thought when it comes to their former clubs.
The fact that City's PR dept haven't told him what to say, unlike united's PR dept clearly do with the likes of Yorke and Schmeichel, who are always disturbingly 'on message', should be seen as a virtuous thing IMO. Whoring yourself like that on national TV is completely undignified and shameful.
It most certainly is GDM. But an easier way for not very bright former footballers to earn a very comfy living from I am struggling to think of.
