The transition from television to management continues to prove a tricky one for Gary Neville, with Valencia on a three-game losing run in La Liga after a brief upturn in form.
Club owner Peter Lim has come under increasing criticism in recent months and on Friday, Valencia fans found a way to let out their anger with the Singaporean tycoon and the man he appointed.

Lim and Neville - along with ex-president Amadeo Salvo - featured among the effigies burned as part of the city's celebrations of Las Fallas, a festival of fire.
Valencia sit 14th in La Liga - six points clear of the relegation zone - and exited the Europa League at the hands of Athletic Bilbao earlier this month.
