“Yes, that’s right, £10 million,” confirmed Eriksson. “For most people in the world it’s a huge amount of money and it is even for me.:icon_eek:

He's making it sound like he's hard up FFS. 'Having to start to sell up'.... He must be a thick twat if he's just let some agent run his life.

The story makes it sound like Samir Khan should be pursued through the criminal courts not the civil courts.

Let's all take a collection for poor old Sven at the Birmingham game, or maybe not.

We could get the Foxes Trust to hand the proceeds on to him, or maybe not.

“Of course I was not there for the money,” said Eriksson

Re: Sven where's the money gone

About finances, Mr Eriksson is not especially knowledgeable nor particularly interested,

Sums it up perfectly.

Re: Sven where's the money gone

You'd have thought the penny would have dropped (like when at Notts County SGE found they hadn't paid the milk bill) when Mr Khan advised him to put several millions into Harry Redknapp's luxury flats development in Southsea.

Much so, unfortunately our execs had similar attitudes.

Re: Sven where's the money gone

So, Samir is to Sven as Sven is to LCFC?

Re: Sven where's the money gone

Sven spent the Thais money. He never forcibly made them do this.

Even then, I'm fairly certain Sven didn't pick up the phone to Madjeski & Kenwright et al.

But yeah, Pearson out!!

Re: Sven where's the money gone

Sven does clearly not have economic acumen, but he's never been a Martin O'Neill type of manager who buys low and sells high. Presumably, Sven had to get the go-ahead from the owners before he wrote any of their cheques, so why did they greenlight it if they couldn't afford it?

Edit: The answer is surely not "they were counting on that we were going up"? That would be incredibly risky and stupid.

... a Martin O'Neill type of manager who buys low and sells high....

Did MON ever sell one of his signings for LCFC at a profit? Spencer Prior? Struggling to think of anyone else.

Signed & sold before O'Neill was even here.

Lennon and Savage were sold for more after he left.

Didn't he go before MON came?
