Spying on the England team isn’t beneficial
KADEEM SIMMONDS believes journalists are wrong to leak national team tactics
GARY NEVILLE has opened up a huge debate in the world of football journalism, one that won’t be going away anytime soon.
The former Manchester United defender turned Sky Sports pundit was on Sunday Supplement over the weekend and raised an issue regarding England reporters spying on the team’s training sessions at the 2014 World Cup.
Neville claimed that while he was a coach with England, journalists had set up a rota to take it in turns to snoop on Roy Hodgson’s tactics and starting line-up, to then leak it to the press which in turn gave England’s opponents an advantage.
