Gary Neville believes Newcastle United have delivered a 'faultless' performance on and off the pitch since the takeover. The Sky Sports pundit has praised the 'patient and understated' approach on Tyneside in contrast to a 'naive' start at Chelsea for Todd Boehly.
Newcastle have lost just once all season and recorded a sixth win in their last seven Premier League matches with a comfortable 4-1 victory at Southampton. Eddie Howe's side currently sit third in the table, and are guaranteed to occupy a top-four spot at Christmas due to the World Cup break after the home clash with Chelsea.
Neville admits he did not expect Newcastle's new owners would be so 'mature and patient' in their first year at the helm, avoiding expensive deals for 'massive names'. The former Manchester United full-back reckons this approach is in complete contrast to Boehly's early months at Stamford Bridge, with the pundit accusing the American businessman of showing 'immaturity' so far.
