If we get this clown prepare for boring defensive rubbish... much like last season but this time maybe with players we all know should be able to perform better. Sven has a great talent at turning quality players in to mediocre wasters. worst thing that could happen to us with the exception of souness

jimmyc85 (U8758559) posted Jun 21, 2007 I really can't understand why everyone is so negative about Sven. He did 'okay' with England, and it (despite what everyone seems to say) he didn't do terribly. In fact he was one of the most successful managers since Alf Ramsey by getting to three major tournament quarter finals in succession. With the team at the last World Cup he should have done better, but then MacLaren is doing a lot worse with pretty much the same team - what was dropping Beckham all about? Also England were robbed by injuries in the last World Cup... Owen and Rooney were both outside of sharpness and fitness, then Owen was injured, it was a total nightmare - that and Lampard just being totally off key. I think we should give Sven a break - He's a top club manager, and was actually one of the world's best up until he switched to international management. Doubles with Benfica and Lazio - where are these clubs now in their respective countries?? He has as much experience in the English game as Rafa Benitez, and for a club like Man City he would be a remarkable acquisition. If they get behind him instead of whining straightaway you'll probably see what Sven is really capable of.

ThomCityMan (U8758638) posted Jun 21, 2007 i'm not worried about sven all too much but thaksin on the otherhand, im seriously scared for our future. How can you back a bid for someone who is being accused of corruption at such a serious level. Who also 'indirectly' controls a company at the heart of the transfer bungs scandal last year.
