Mate, Neville already had too much time when he was appointed as manager for them.
I mean, Valencia lost even against a relegation fodder like Sporting Gijón without Halilovic at Mestalla.
They've yet to take a victory and playing way below under their standars.
There's absolute no sign Neville well be able to turn this around.

Club legend & Captain Santiago Cañizares
Cañizares after Neville’s initial appointment:
“In Valencia, we know almost nothing about Gary Neville, he’s an unknown. Being a good analyst is not the same as being a good coach. Valencia is not a team for experiments, it’s not a place for a coach to get his apprenticeship.
The main difficulty he’ll have is the language and getting to grips with Spanish football. Moyes didn’t adapt to Spanish football, he didn’t learn the language, didn’t connect with the Sociedad players and couldn’t transmit his philosophy. He was a disaster.
What Neville needs to do urgently is connect with the Spanish league and learn the language quickly. Look at Pep Guardiola. He didn’t know German when he signed for Bayern but in his first press conference he was speaking German. That’s the way to go.
What is he like as a coach? No-one knows because he has no experience. It is one thing to give your opinion and another to get things working on the pitch.”
Cañizares after last night:
“VCF’s defeat today is the worst I’ve known since I can remember. I’m waiting for the resignation of the coach, as well as an apology. I may be ignorant but I’m surprised he hasn’t done it, I thought he was honest.
If Garcia Pitarch (Sporting Director, hired for Gary incidentally) believes in Gary as he said on Monday, I’m disappointed. If he lied to us, and tomorrow Pitarch suggests the dismissal of the coach and it’s not accepted, it’s better for him to leave, too.
Worse than a defeat is the fleeing of the battle. That should give us a clue as to what these players can do if this becomes really difficult. Mustafi showed his face, and I think all Valencianistas appreciate that. Today before the media and always on the pitch.
I just want what happened this year to help us distinguish the honest from the dishonest. If we do that, we move forward...
Finally, this is a test of our valencianismo. To demand decisions is responsible, to desert is not. Amunt!"
I'd add however that none of the Captains for Valencia were available after the match and the only representative from the team was Cheryshev who was only recently acquired on loan. Considering his circumstances and the ovation he got, not comfortable for him or the club

Its not just Nevile though, Valencia need to rid itself of Mendes and Lim. I like them and hope they will rise back eventually, same with Depor for example.
Neville should be sacked thouh, crawl back to sky.
Look at this hilarious quote:

He even said Valencia's loss yesterday can’t be compared to Karlsruhe [7-0 in 1993] or Salamanca [4-0 in 1995].

Around 200 Valencianistas were waiting for their team when the players returned last night.
Almost everyone were booed and insulted (translations anyone?) as they left the training ground in their cars.
Only Gaya, Mustafi and Jaume got applause from the Valencianistas

The chants were "mercenary players", "this shirt, you don't deserve it", "gary, vete ya(gary, go away now)", "Parejo, scoundrel, out of mestalla". There were a lot of the usual "sob" too.

They were on a downward spiral before he took ever... But it's awful anyway. Guess he'll lose his job.
