You are seriously including the Italian super cup and UEFA super cup? one is basically the charity shield and counts for nothing, whilst the other is just an excuse for UEFA suits to go to monaco and drink. and the cup winners cup which was scrapped because it was such a joke? I won't bother to list the charity shields Fergie has won thanks, or even the world club championship.
Let's just talk REAL tournaments
Cracking arguement you have there. 1 league title, and 1 cup (which is valued as highly as the carling cup, so isn't much cop either). He's definitely as good as Capello, Ferguson and Lippi

Can't argue with that logic. Well said.

I thought the suggestion that we have a manager in the same league as those mentioned was laughable, and duly delivered my opinion on why.
Alternative to Sven? Anyone who has managerial experience in the Championship of getting promotion and isn't ugly and seen in the club shop.

Why is it so laughable? Lippi and Ferguson have never managed outside of their own country. Sven has managed in several countries, along with lengthy international stints covering different continents.
We could argue all day about whether he's had relative success at international level, but he has been very successful at club level. Given a straight fight for the Leicester job between say Colin W (who meets your selection criteria) and Sven, I would expect most Chairman to go with Sven.

Its laughable because its like saying Gerard Houllier is in the same league etc because he won a few cups. I know Sven has done well in the past. My issue is in recent years he has become a bit of a joke figure, driven by money.
Anyway, its quite clear what my opinion on Sven is by now. Obviously I hope he proves me wrong, and leads us to the Premiership, and if he does I'll happily hold my hands up and say I'm wrong. I just can't see it personally. Just my opinion though.

I see your point but my concern would be if the manager with Championship experience get us promoted, will they have the credentials to then keep us in the prem.
SGE may not have experience in the Championship but he has 20+ years managerial experience.
Morenio didn't have any premiership experience when he went to chelsea. I may also be right in saying the Fergie had only managed in Scotland before going to Man Utd, hardly the best experience a manager can have.
I am just pleased that we have an experienced (relatively, in your eyes) and successful manager in place.

Was your response to Sven getting appointed akin to it, say, raining...on your face? Or cutting Onions? Or thinking about a friend we don't know who is dying...that's right dying?

I'm pretty certain he carries the same passport as you and me.
