Nedum Onuoha the pundit

He in fact has a dilemma. He was the defender when aguero scored that famous final moment goal against QPR. Wayne Rooney has been questioning that match ever since.
While he was leaving from city it was a kind of humiliation. He was intentionally left out of the preseason tour to USA by Mancini. The reception he got from city after his retirement has been superb.
These might be the reason he cannot fully claim to be a city fan. But lately he has been vocal about his love for city.

Let him question it. Nobody ever questions the efforts of Sunderland that day, and they had fuck all to play for right from the kick off!
 
He doesn’t get SKY main gig because of exactly this.
He’s articulate, knowledgeable, intelligent and speaks about his club honestly and sincerely.
If he developed a false laugh, started disrespecting the team he played for, put a pair of glasses on to make himself look more intelligent and twitched his mouth a bit (like an over enthusiastic kid wanting to talk in class) SKY would have him in a heartbeat and he’d be a weekly pundit on Match of the Day.
So glad Nedum stands by his principles.
What a lovely guy and great pundit.

Ned has more brains and personality in his toe than those clowns.

The scot is Craig Burley. He played for Chelsea till 1997. Normally he's alright. The other is dan Thomas. He used to work for real Madrid tv during their first galactico era. I think he's a Liverpool and Madrid fan, but not really sure.
He's also said that his lad is a city fan who went to his first match at the Etihad last year.

Cheers. Didn’t recognise Burley with his teeth in!

Nedum is an excellent pundit and carving out a great career for himself in this field which he fully deserves. But I was watching ESPN earlier and that idiot Frank LaBeouf was going on about City having no history. I was surprised and disappointed that Nedum said nothing in reply to that. They were also talking about the money we have spent on Grealish and Haaland which is, of course, the usual crap. Pity that Nedum didn't answer those ignorant idiots with the fact that we are actually mid-table in the transfer spending league over the last five years. Nedum, you are doing a great job mate but please be ready next time to educate these morons haha!!!.

His job is not to argue everything anyone ever says about City, and his employers have a set plan for every show on air, so he may not have been in a position to get into a tit for tat on the subject.

In almost every case I’ve seen him, esp when he’s reporting pitched with that red twat Mark Ogden, he more than holds his own and does every City fan proud!

He’s the sort of fella the club should be embracing and bringing into the fold.
 
Nedum I a fantastic human being, I had the pleasure of meeting him many years ago at Platt Lane he was with his beautiful Mum who passed sadly far too soon.
Manchester City should do all we can to keep Nedum involved with our great club, he is by far the best Pundit out there and , an example to all on how to conduct ourselves.

It’s mostly because he doesn’t want to travel here, there and everywhere and wants pick and choose what he wants to do.

Listen to him on Radio 5Live and podcasts

He is a proper Blue :0)

Very Intelligent and considered :0)

He seems to be very happy doing that and lots of Champions League stuff on the TV

What’s to say he’s not happy, doing what he does???

Being on SKY TV is not the b all and end all of life!!!

He’s gets more respect from me, doing that rather than playing up to the cameras and media elsewhere??!!

Carry on the good work Nedum

I find Mute or the off switch is best used to listen to the other ex players and pundits!!!

He says he is absolutely happy. He doesn't do Sky for the same reason he didn't go into management - He can choose how much or how little he works - young family, etc.
