Sven-Goran Eriksson

[James]

didn't we go for the passionate approach with Keegle, & look how that worked out! Don't get me wrong, Psycho was fantastic as a player, but an international manager? Not for at least a decade. Whatever you say about Sven, his record in competitive games speaks for itself.

You can't blame him for considering his future when most of the country is trying to hound him out of a job, & a fake sheik is handing it to him on a plate.

Notice how i said Pearce should be future manager. There's no way he'll be successor to Sven, he's not ready at the moment. Keegan is by no means in the same league when it comes to passion as Pearce.

Psycho, with a few more years in the top flight for experience will definitely be able to take charge of England. You know he wont be scared to drop 'word class' players such as Beckham when they're not performing, unlike that swedish tosser who we all know has his favourites. Besides, bringing in former internationals is the 'in' thing right now isn't it? i.e Van Basten, Klinnsman and now Staunton. Perhaps Psycho can become an Assistant once Sven leaves, leaving the door open for him in the future. That doesn't mean i want McLaren as manager after the WC (or even the likes of Alardyce or Curbishly) :shock:

Sven has dragged his reputation and responsibilites as England manager through the mud too many times now. It's wrong of the press to be doing such a stint just few months before the WC, but we didnt exactly learn anything new when it comes to Sven and his dedication to the England job.

If he's that dedicated as he says, offer him a new contract and cut his £3 million a year substantially. See how dedicated he is then.

Whilst his record at International level may be 'excellent', England will never win a major trophy under Sven. He lacks any imagination in terms of tactics (just look at the second half in the last WC against Brazil) and will never be able to raise Englands game and passion to levels of beating sides like Brazil and France in a major competition.

**** of all smelly ****s!! it has been a few too many mistakes for that asshole!

 

[patrick42uk]

lol at the news of the world. couple of months before the world cup they decide they want to de-stabilise the england team by stichting up the manager. it seems the media are too heartless to be patriotic.

 

[Tegh]

We deserve to know what that slime-ball has been up to, end of. Not the best time to announce it, but you can't please everyone and the media are there to make money.

 

[patrick42uk]

he wouldnt have been up to anything if the news of the world didnt initiate the whole thing. so he's a ****, but i'm sure he's not the only **** in football. the f.a. made the choice to go with sven, not a lot of people are happy about it but he got england to the world cup. the plan, which i thought was a good one, was to go to the world cup with over the top expectations and crucify him after the inevitable happens and england fail to win it. not before.

 

[Gooner_Girl]

Haha. find it funny how he fell for that. He's **** and england won't win the world cup with him as manager. I hate him he should be sacked he's uselss and so naive. He ruined the possible chance of england getting far now with his comments, should learn how to keep his mouth shut.

It's just as well they did, so we know what a lying, cheating rat we have at the helm of our World Cup hopes.

my thought exactly. Whats the point to do 'that' NOW ? Its like the media had scored an own-goal. And it's so vicious.

 

[vin de guerre]

It is the same old cr@p! Everytime the WC comes around, instead of getting behind the England effort, NO matter what. Every tom **** and harry must find a way of shooting their chances in the foot. The England team is respected and reveared outside of the UK. But god forbid the English to play a fair game and support the system. No you need entrapment and slimey tricks to undermine what is possibly the best chance since '66 to get to the final.
When will the press and all who jump on the band wagon GROW UP?

Don't condone what he's done in his "private" life at all - he's handled himself worse than his predecessors, under the same sort of spotlight. But I do think he has an advantage in the job because of the fact that he's clearly just in it for the money (& maybe the secretaries), and is more detached than an Englishman would be, however much he bangs on about dedication. He's probably privately laughing his head off right now, when an Englishman would be off to his solicitor. Wouldn't be surprised if he was taking the p!ss for at least some of that interview. Fact is he's undoubtedly the best man for the job at the moment.

Maybe Sven has shown it's too important a job for someone who's too close to it. I'd love to see a blood 'n' guts England under Pearce though, we probably still won't win anything but it would be a hell of a ride.

Ideally you'd want a Sven/Psycho hybrid genespliced monster. That would be good.

Would be interested to hear what happens in other European countries - will the German press be doing a hatchet job on their national side in the run up to the WC? Bet they don't...but it sure sells papers in England.

great! only israel is outside uk!

 

[YeahBee]

pathetic from both sides. what lengths news of the world goes to just for that is just pathetic. And Sven has f*d up our chances of the world cup already. He has betrayed the trust of many England key players. How will they be able to give 100% after the things he said about beckham, rooney,rio, and owen.

He is lucky that the world cup is so close otherwise he would be sacked

I find it to be very clever journalism, am I the only one? Many great storys has been uncoverd by Wallraffing. It is like don't shot the messenger. Why would he even considder it now so close to the WC. I am ashamed to be Swedish tbh.

( from the journalist Wallraff a german bloke) he went undercover as a mental patient being locked up for months they didn't believe he was sane, LOL and he went undercover as a turkish employee in germany and got miners lunge due to the appouling work conditions.

 

[jaguars4ever]

Just plain eughh. :shock:

WTF?

Sven Sez: Sack me...

"I was disappointed it wasn't reported that I said Rio Ferdinand was the best defender in the world and that Wayne Rooney was the best footballer in the world."

Rio Ferdinand the best defender in the world?
Wayne Rooney the best footballer in the world!?

Sven is just full of sh*t. How can anyone defend his stupid record. England play against the likes of Northern Ireland and Slovakia FFS! He should have a good record. The fact that Sven never drops David Beckham really pisses me off.

 

[oreo]

Because Sven and Beckham are friends

 

[jaguars4ever]

Because Sven and Beckham are friends

...and more. :whistling

 

[seb_afc]

[Forza Gooners]

Just plain eughh. :shock:

WTF?

when the hell did that happen.....shiiiiit

 

[Asterix]

Sven has now said he will resign after the World Cup. I wonder what that will do to the minds of the players. I'm not generally in favour of giving long timeframes like that. If you want to go - go straight away.
