Really? this guy is just an overly expensive clown.

Joey must be coming now too....

 

[Han]

Is he?

Good manager IMO.

I'd rather look at what he has done at clubs rather than basing my opinion on what the Sun has to say about him.

Decent manager IMO.

 

[okie fox]

Is he?

Good manager IMO.

Yes, good manager.

 

[lanxfox jnr]

I'd say that he's a good manager; better than that **** Sousa!

 

[dpjfox]

did ok at man city

 

[drummindefender]

Good manager? Ok he has a good record in Portugal and Italy but what has he done in the last 10 years?

1). Underachieved with and England squad who could've done much better, especially in 2006

2). Did nothing of great note with Man City to leave after a year

3). Took up a role as Director of Football at Notts County and left

4). Did nothing but take a big fat pay cheque from the Ivory Coast

Suspect. Obviously he has got more of a pedigree than other names we could've been linked with, but he's only here for the money and will bleed us dry. I don't see what skills as a manager Sven has for Championship football.

Mandaric has done it again! The sooner he goes to portsmouth the better. Leaving us with the football loving Thai paymasters he has so carefully selected to bestow up on us.
THIS CLUB IS ****ED - administration and league one here we come again!

 

[Steven]

Sven it is

 

[herr_satz]

To be fair Sven does seem to have good man management skills which is probably exactly what the club needs at the moment. Can't be any worse than Sousa.

3). Took up a role as Director of Football at Notts County and left

2) Eriksson had produced an all time (joint) record of season league points won and the best results since the 1970's

3) They ended up promoted, and didn't he walk without a payoff after staying for a while to try and help them after the new owners went tits up.

 

[Micky]

Not sure about Eriksson. The only thing I can think is that you don't get to manage the clubs that he has, without doing something well.

Anybody is better than Sousa!

 

[NW_Fox]

Anyone is better than Sousa - well almost anyone

Good point. Sousa appears to have seriously p*ssed off a fair number of the squad. To be honest, I'd be happier with Sven than MON. People have short memories of what it was like when he departed. Also MON is susceptable to having favourites within a squad and leaving others totally out to dry, as apparently was the case with a few players at Villa.

Exactly, if you consider the candidates we were linked with in the summer alongside PS then being linked to Sven and MON is a world apart

 

[fcukcov]

I know he is only here for the (Thai) money, (anyone else worried the mystery investor might be Thaksin??). But in my opinion its a good appointment considering the position we are in. Good man manager and good club level manager (as well as the best England manager for a number of years when he was appointed) who will attract some decent named players by his reputation alone. An ambitious appointment for the club IMO.

Hope Svenny boy gets it

Best result since 1970 is hardly anything anyone is going to remember in a few years

And you can't seriously be saying he can take any credit for their promotion ?

He left without the payoff because he knew he would never ever get it.

1 Walk away without it and look like the great benefactor

2 Claim it and put the club into admin and stillnot get it and llok like the money grabbing tosser he is
