Sky Sports Spanish football expert Guillem Balague believes the timing of Gary Nevilles sacking at Valencia is strange, but feels there was massive pressure on the Englishman.The former Manchester United defenders turbulent spell at the Mestalla was cut short on Wednesday, just 119 days after his surprise appointment in December.Neville leaves the club languishing in 14th position in La Liga having posted the lowest win percentage of any Valencia boss in La Liga history - 18.8%. Neville was assisted by brother Phil (centre) during his spell at Valencia That record during his 17-week tenure infuriated sections of the Valencia support, who took exception with the clubs gamble on the unproven Neville.And, while expressing his personal surprise at the timing of the decision, Balague feels the pressure from both the media and fans would have given Neville a clear indication as to how his first managerial venture would ultimately end. Gary would admit himself that he had no more friends in Valencia. It was clear that the media had decided he was not good enough and the fans had decided that he had to go. Sky Sports Spanish football expert Guillem Balague I am surprised in a way, Balague told Sky Sports News HQ. Gary knew things werent right but he thought he would have until the end of the season to put it right.Gary would admit himself that he had no more friends in Valencia. It was clear that the media had decided he was not good enough for Valencia, and that the fans had decided that he had to go. Nevilles reign in quotes Gary Nevilles Valencia tenure, in his own words The pressure on [Valencia chairman] Peter Lim was massive, lets not forget Valencia are one of the top 10 clubs in the world. Perhaps the fans expected too much from Valencia this season - many expected them to challenge for La Liga.They felt cheated that Neville was given the job over an experienced coach. Thats not to say Gary couldnt have done a job, its just the expectations were so high from the beginning. Nevilles ability to adapt to Spanish football was under scrutiny from day one There were question marks over whether he could do the job, whether he understood what the job meant and whether he was able to communicate well enough with the players.There was a lot of focus and emphasis on the negatives from the start. Valencia owner Peter Lim is miles away, says Balague The decision to sack Neville comes with just eight games of the Primera Division season remaining, with Los Che just six points clear of the relegation places.Nevilles self-appointed assistant, Pako Ayestaran, has been given the reins until the end of the season and could take the club into the next campaign.And Balague believes the decision speaks volumes, adding: There was no synergy between the interests of Valencia and Gary Neville. Neville was subjected to chants of Gary go now by the Valencia fans after they lost 2-0 at home to Celta Vigo Peter Lim is miles away but his chairman listens to the Valencia fans, spends most of the time in the city and has, for a while, noticed that things were not working.It feels a little bit strange that this is taking place now, why didnt it happen earlier if it was identified earlier? Why now when then there really are no targets left for the rest of the season or many games left?Clearly it seems like theyve stopped listening to Gary and they have moved on to somebody that came in as an assistant, who was doing a lot of the job already.Also See:Valencia sack NevilleNevilles reign in quotesCheap Yeezy Free Shipping . -- Jimmy Walkers first PGA Tour trophy came with a special gift tucked inside.

Its good that the Rams have gotten back. I think its going to be great.While Bush might not be much of a factor in the Bills game plan, hes still wildly popular in Los Angeles, where coach Pete Carrolls dominant Trojans were the biggest show in town during the NFLs 21-year absence.Bushs jersey is still among the most popular in the crowd at any Trojans game, even after the school officially disassociated itself from the star tailback. USC was hit with heavy NCAA sanctions in 2010 surrounding his familys acceptance of improper benefits.Bush never expected to get the chance to play professionally in the stadium where USC dominated during his heyday, and he still might not suit up for the Bills, who have him near the bottom of the depth chart.But hell be there Sunday along with fellow Trojans-turned-Bills Robert Woods, Nickell Robey-Coleman and Kevon Seymour.Its always important to pass it down, because at some point in time, we all get too old to play, said Bush, who lives in nearby Pacific Palisades with his family in the offseason. But not yet. Im not done yet.The second home game of the Rams homecoming season -- and their final game at the Coliseum until November -- matches two teams off to impressive starts.After knocking off NFC West rivals Seattle and Arizona, the Rams are on just their third three-game winning streak in 10 years and their best start to a season since 2006.Buffalo is coming off impressive back-to-back victories over Arizona and New England. The Bills have won two straight games -- and they havent won three straight since early in the 2011 season.Here are more things to watch when the Bills visit the Coliseum:DEFENSE FIRST: Both teams have built their winning streaks on solid defensive play. The Bills shut out the Patriots last week, while the Rams forced five turnovers and allowed only 13 points to the Cardinals. The offenses of Buffalo and Los Angeles could be overmatched, butt the Bills will rely on quarterback Tyrod Taylors mobile playmaking under new offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn.dddddddddddd The Rams will try to get a big game from running back Todd Gurley, who has only 216 yards in the first four games.COACHING CONNECTION: Rams coach Jeff Fisher played for defensive expert Buddy Ryan with the Chicago Bears, and he was Buddys defensive coordinator in Philadelphia. He sees elements of the father in the two sons currently running the Bills. They would hang around training camp in Chicago, and Ive followed their careers throughout, Fisher said. Buddy was very, very close with them. That was a hard loss this summer when we lost Buddy. Theyre both outstanding coaches. Theyre passionate. Theyre coaching for their dad right now, I know that. (Rex) is going to have his team ready.RUN IT: Buffalo and Los Angeles have two of the three worst passing offenses in the NFL, so the ground game should be a key for both teams. While the Bills are racking up 123.2 yards rushing per game, the Rams are ranked 30th in the league with four quiet games from Gurley. Defenses have been keying heavily on Gurley this season, and the Bills did a remarkable job in bottling up Patriots running back LeGarrette Blount last week. Offensive coordinator Rob Boras hopes Los Angeles can exploit its opponents imbalance through the passing game.DAREUS RETURN: Bills defensive tackle Marcell Dareus is back from a four-game suspension for another violation of the NFLs substance abuse policy. The two-time Pro Bowler could be an enormous boost to the Buffalo defense if his mind is in the game, and he pronounced himself ready to roll this week. Im not trying to mess up anything, Dareus said. I just want to come in and be smooth and do what I can, help out where I can, and just be the best person and teammate I can possibly be.DETERMINED DONALD: If Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald is even more disruptive than usual, Bills coach Rex Ryan knows hes probably to blame. Donald acknowledged this week that he hadnt forgotten Ryans dismissive comments about his Pro Bowl selection two years ago, calling the words disrespectful. Donald was the NFCs defensive player of the week last week.---AP Sports Writer John Wawrow in Buffalo contributed to this report.---AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
