I admit that Sven is doing much better than I expected at the time, and I am thrilled with the job he is doing. But I think its a bit early to be saying anything yet. Still a long way to go this season folks.

Ginetta did himself no favours either. I wonder what he thinks now.

I admit to being overly negative. But I think that was a combination of the shit Sousa had lefts us in, and Svens Notts County fiasco.

I was at a loss as to why Sven took such a hammering from the press for his time at England at the time, when he clearly did a good job and still am.
Losing to Brazil and twice matching Portugal and losing on penalties is a poor job for England? Reaching 3 quarter finals is a poor job for England? I think people just have a warped view of where England should be in the world. When he took over we were mediocre and he took us into consistently being one of the top 6 or so nations in the world, something we hadn't shown for years beforehand and haven't shown since.
Everyone says we had great players, but really we had several world class creative midfielders (Beckham, Scholes, Lampard, Gerrard) but we had absolutely no balance in the type of players we had whatsoever.

That's actually worse than DD's opinion (who, and no offense, is just an harmless forum poster like all of us). I'm not entirely sure what Ginetta's job is, but he seems to be in some sort of position where he thinks he can speak for the majority of LCFC supporters and to spout that sort of shite is quite shocking, to be honest.

Yeah, I mean he's only had 23 games so far, way too early to be forming an opinion, he could turn out to be shit for all we know

He wouldn't turn down a manager of the calibre of Martin O'Neill, but he doesn't want a manager of the calibre of Sven-Goran Eriksson? :icon_lol: Sven's calibre and pedigree is 2 or 3 times than of O'Neill's.

Have we won promotion yet?

I suppose he is arguing we could still very easily slump and finish mid-table....but let's be honest, after where we were when Sousa left us I even count that as a pretty decent success. Playoffs would be a major achievement and automatic would be stuff that we would talk about for decades.

Yeah, I know. But that's nowhere near as much fun as taking the piss out of Ringo

I seem to remember that "fantastic appointment" was my conclusion so i'm happy so far.I also recall having a right go at that unbelievably pompous twat Ginetta.TBH its every bit as satisfying for me that he looks like a clueless idiot as it is for us to be doing so well at the moment.
