JAMIE CARRAGHER has taken another swipe at Gary Neville for his hiring and firing policy at Salford City.
The ex-Liverpool defender poked fun at his Sky Sports colleague and Salford co-owner Neville on Twitter.
Carragher tweeted after Neville’s former team-mate and fellow Salford co-owner Nicky Butt left his coaching role at Manchester United.
Seemingly suggesting Nev might want to replace new Salford manager Gary Bowyer with Butt, the former Reds defender quipped: “Hours or days before @GNev2 sacks Gary Bowyer.”
But he thought better of it and later deleted the tweet.
It came just days after Carragher mocked Neville for sacking Richie Wellens – who was only appointed earlier this season – by digging up an old tweet.
Carragher retweeted old comments from Neville which called for managers to be given more time.
The quote read: “The scary thing is that a large % of people now actually support these sackings as they’ve become accustomed to it… How can you build a football team without getting 2-3 years?
“A rule change is required to moderate sackings of managers mid-season in their first year at a club.”
He also compared the former Man Utd right back to ex-Atletico Madrid president Jesus Gil.
Gil will go down as one of the most controversial figures of Spanish football.

He was president of Atletico Madrid for 16 years in which he sacked an astonishing THIRTY-NINE managers.
Reportedly he once said: “Firing a coach is to me like having a beer. I can boot 20 in a year span. Even 100 if I have to.”
His most prolific spell saw him sack 15 bosses in three seasons.
