Several reports flying around he'l become manager :icon_conf

Found his level.

 

[Profondo Rosso]

He's a great manager, should be great for Notts County.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

wow - surely not? That would be a major coup for them. I don't rate him as a manager at all but he'd be more than good enough for their level.

 

[Lako42]

What makes people think he can manage at that level?

He has only really managed clubs who can spend big money on big players, he has no fecking clue who would benefit a team in the 4th tier of English football.

From Wikipedia

The only manager to win top league and cup doubles in three different countries. Manager of Lazio, England, Manchester City and Mexico.

Currently unemployed, Eriksson states that he would "very much like to work in the Premier League because of its rich heritage".

Manager/Director of Notts County - he must have a crap agent!

In truth how good would he have to be, I think without the cash they would be top 10 this season, with it promotion should be a doddle. McParland knows players at that level so would probably stay and work along side him.

Add in Sven and I guess you are looking at 3 or 4 thousand on the gate and about £50,000 a game in increased receipts plus a great chance to steal some of Forest's thunder in attracting sponsors and getting publicity.

I wonder if Forest's sudden spending spree this Summer has been influence by what might happen across the river in the next few years.

I know his agent, this is some deal he's on. He's no fool.

I already know it's true :icon_conf

Outlined an ambitious 10 year plan after signing a 5 year contract .... Errrrm, hang on!

The world really has gone mad.

Yep, Sven going to Nottingham for the women - something is seriously wrong.

Yep, Sven going to Nottingham for the women - something is seriously wrong.

In fairness, whenever I've had a night out in Nottingham, most of the women have been fair tidy.

Sven probably heard that urban myth about the women to men ratio in Nottingham, I'll bet that was one of County's bargaining gambits.
