That’s because a number of particularly dodgy old tweets have surfaced which don’t exactly create the best impression of Neville on his first day of the job.
As a result, the former Manchester United, Everton and England defender has swiftly moved to delete his Twitter account altogether.

So officials at the FA had plenty of time to take the necessary precautions well in advance of the announcement.
