The replacement for MON...?

I cant see it being Sven.

[Mazrim]

I thought his England team played some decent stuff but perhaps I'm just basing that on what England are churning out now. He's not going to have won much being England manager fo most of the last decade and then the odd sporadic spell here and there at hopeless clubs and nations.

But fair enough. I'm just trying to reason it all out for myself more than anything else.
He wouldnt be my first choice either but he's no mug. I dont think it would be a terrible appointment but we can do better perhaps.

I still cant believe Hiddink is manager of Turkey. Turkey for fuck's sake!
Go and have a word.

[The Situation]

I'm still not sure about Sven. I acknowledge he has got a very good record, I just don't know what to fully expect, although I do know he'll bring in some forgeign players we do need. I'm still not sure tbh, but if he was appointed as manager I'd back him regardless of my previous thoughts.

I'd agree that if you had a an issue with our style of play, which personally wasn't an issue for me, then you would have similar issues with Sven.  His record up to England is impressive, but then that job has ruined many a good manager!

[Toronto Villa]

Not really done a lot in the last decade though has he Maz?  You're right, that was impressive in Italy especially, but England weren't exactly a joy to watch, and I didn't like the way he constantly overlooked Barry at the time.  He also played Scholes out of position on the left a lot of the time.

We have a manager in place with England now that has arguably an even more impressive CV than Sven, yet the national team still looks bollocks. Sometimes, it simply isn't just the manager that's at fault and it's case that our players are crap on a world level.

I'd rather just judge him on his abilities as a club manager. I certainly wouldn't baulk at Capello purely based on our display at the last World Cup if he suddenly quit England to reside in Lozells, Perry Barr or somewhere equally as exotic.

The problem with Sven, he will be trying to shagging Miss Aston Villa down VP before hes even looked at his team..

Capello is so much better than Sven it's almost funny.

I agree, don't judge Sven on his time with England. But his time at City was pretty indicative, and I've always thought of him as a bit tactically inflexible and prone to having players tell him what to do.

[eastie]

Even got heskey scoring in that 5-1 in Germany!

[Billy Walker]

I believe that when the Liverpool position became vacant Sven revealed to the press that he had been a Liverpool fan since his days of youth.  This, above all else, rules him out for me.  It's a bit like when Curtis Davies revealed he was a Man Utd fan...I haven't felt the same about him either!  All fairly irrational but there you go.

That job, since Thaksin took over, has become a basket case of a job.

It broke Sven, it broke Hughes, and I'll have a couple of her majesty's pounds with anyone who thinks Mancini will be their manager at the start of the 2011/12 season.

Nobody knows.

We appointed her then pretended she doesn't exist.

Doesn't even get to do summer fetes, let alone visit sick kids or open new branches of Somerfield these days.

A complete and utter waste of money, we might as well get some munter to do it on half the money.

Swedish cock?

Tbf, when Sven was at Man City (and wrongly fired I think) the type of football he got Man City playing was actually very forthright, attacking and open.
