- The former England defender wants structural change
- Neville ashamed he did not stick up for Ashley Cole in 2004
Gary Neville has warned football still needs to take a giant leap forward to tackle “the distress and discrimination that we don’t see” – and urged the game to deliver real structural change and not just lofty words and campaigns against racism.
“Forget campaigns. Forget words. It has to be actions,” Neville said. “It has to be demonstrative, it has to be real and happen. We need to take a giant leap rather than minute steps each year. We know the obvious discrimination, the obvious abuse – it’s easy for us to see that – but we need to talk about equal representation in boardrooms, on the coaching side up and down this country.
