People were really impressed with Gary Neville when he was on Dragon's Den and many of them want him to be a regular on the show.

The icon of Manchester United made their first appearance on the BBC show, sharing the panel with the usual business moguls including Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden, Touker Suleyman, Sara Davies and Steven Bartlett.

Even though he has been involved in many businesses, such as co-owning Salford City, a team in League Two, with his former teammates and running luxury hotels in Manchester, some people were unsure if he had the skills to become a successful entrepreneur like a dragon.

However, based on the events of Thursday's episode, it appears that the 48-year-old feels comfortable in this setting. The show's audience was mostly in agreement, applauding the former English football player.

One admirer on platform X, previously known as Twitter, wrote a message proclaiming Gary Neville's excellent character. A second person commented that the recent episode of Dragon's Den was impressive and that Gary Neville was exceptional.

During his debut appearance on the BBC program Dragon's Den, Gary Neville left a strong impression.

Neville was a success on the show among the audience, and some have gone so far as to request that he become a permanent addition.

One more person left a comment saying, "Gary Neville was fantastic! He should definitely join the show permanently as one of the dragons."

Even though Neville is generally known as a supporter of United's biggest opponents, he recently got recognized and complimented by one. The supporter expressed their admiration for Neville by admitting, "Even though I am a huge Liverpool fan, I have to admit that Gary Neville is a good person!"

The former professional astounded his dragon colleagues with his expertise in business. However, he still received teasing remarks from some of the challengers.

A person named Billy Childs, who used to play football, introduced himself. He has a company that sells the boots which players wear during football games. He found an occasion to tease Neville about his well-known job. The job is being a pundit on Sky Sports.

"I'm really looking forward to having Gary on board as a Dragon," the 27-year-old shared. "I'm hoping that his involvement in my business will be more successful than his analysis of certain teams' defensive performances in the Premier League."

In the end, Childs didn't achieve success because Neville was reluctant to sell memorabilia. Although Childs liked the concept, Neville didn't think it was a good idea since players usually give away their shoes for money rather than charitable purposes.

The regular big shots of the show, Touker Suleyman, Sara Davies, Deborah Meaden, Steven Bartlett and Peter Jones, additionally commended Neville.

The person who analyzes sports on Sky Sports also spends time working on their many business ventures, one of which involves owning a portion of a football club in the fourth tier of English football, League Two's Salford City.

The ex-Manchester United defender received some negative feedback on social media as a few individuals doubted whether he was the right person for the job.

The Action Is On!

Mail Sport has launched an exhilarating podcast named It's All Kicking Off, offering a unique perspective on the Premier League football matches.

You can find it on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music, and Spotify.

The co-owner of Salford City was praised by Dragon Meaden, who has served for a long time. Meaden commented that the co-owner seemed like he had been a Dragon for his entire life.

Nevertheless, not all the feedback was positive as certain individuals on social media raised concerns about his appropriateness for the job.

Somebody wrote about Gary Neville appearing on Dragon's Den, saying that he had been an unsuccessful manager despite co-owning a club that has had many coaches and is currently performing poorly in League 2. They thought he would make a fitting guest for the show.

Someone else commented, "I find it difficult to view Gary Neville as a credible person since he is now associated with Dragons Den."
