He wasn't the Notts C manager. He was director of football.
I can't knock him for what he did with England but every team he managed prior to England you would expect silverware. All world famous clubs.
Gothenburg, Sampdoria, Lazio, Benfica etc.
I think he had a massive say in Leicester's demise. Reminds me of Bryan Robson, will spend shit loads of money and that's it. Sometimes, he'll be lucky enougfh to have the foundations currently in place to build on (with the clubs above). Other times he'll just spunk the money up the wall and royally fuck it up. Didn't he spend about £3m on Matthew Mills? FFS!!!
I will get behind him if appointed but i feel we should tread VERY carefully if he's appointed.
It all sounds a bit Blackburnesque.. Rich people playing with a club that has been loved for years. "We'll just buy him, that will work"
Gothenburg had never won a European trophy before Sven and only one since.
Lazio hadn't won one before Sven either and none since. In fact they'd hardly won anything at all pre-Svennis. He's their most successful ever manager.
If they're "world famous" now it's largely down to him. They weren't when he went there.
