Sven Out?

With Crozier gone, Sven don't seem too certain over his position.

Would if be a tragedy if he went?

Would you want to see him go?

Personally, he presided over one of the famous nights in English football (munich 2001), and took us to the World Cup Quarter-Finals - but given the opposition at the World Cup, could he have done better? The recent performances against Slovakia and Macedonia weren't exactly awe-inspiring - does Sven really know what he's doing?

Howard Wilkinson :D
 

Sven Out?

Completely indecisive and unwilling to upset people/rock the boat - I work with Swedes - it is a major shortcoming of theirs. Man United are welcome to him, as they will no doubt find out to their cost

We scraped into the world cup on the back of a freak result against a very poor German team, and nearly blew it against Greece.

We need a fairly shrewd tactical thinker who is not afraid to stop picking the same duds week in week out (Gary Neville, Nicky Butt, Emile Heskey, David Seaman) - best of a limited bunch are Alan Curbishley or Steve Maclaren.

Sven OUT Peter Taylor in.

when PT was in charge of the u21's played 35 won 35 the man is a super coach and would do wonders.
 

Sven Out?

I think he should be given a chance to try and complete the job he set out to do.
It has been said 2004 will be when our players come of age, lets wait until then to see if he should go. However I have to say I'm not convinced at the moment.

Next to take charge should be Steve McClaren, probably the best English coach, proving he can be a good manager.

Rons got his badge thought you would have gone for him:p LOL
 

Sven Out?

Predictable, lacking in movement and flair and overeliance on 442, but good on spirit and endeavour. The same under Sven as Taylor, Keegan, Wilkinson......tacticaly clueless at international level IMHO, a huge disappointment.

We deserve better, I wonder if Maclaren's leaving is actually tactical by distancing himself from the coming fallout?
 

Sven Out?

I don't understand the motivation for this thread. Why should the FA pay off the last 4 years of his contract when he hasn't done anything seriously wrong yet?

After Keegan's resignation it looked like we weren't even going to get to the World Cup, I don't think anyone really expected us to win it before the tournament started.

Germany was a freak result was it? You can only beat what's put in front of you. We were lucky against Greece but winning in Greece 4 months earlier meant that that result wasn't as important. Why can't people remember good results?

Macedonia was an unexpected result but I don't expect it to happen again.

So we should appoint an Englishman? There aren't any that are up to the job at the moment, so why handicap oursleves even more? Who do you really think would have won us the 2002 World Cup? Even if we'd gone all the way and won it people would have said it was a "freak win against a bunch of minnow nations". I think people have been waiting for a chance to criticise Sven for a long time.

Who's this wonder manager currently in charge of, then? I presume he must still be at Leicester if he's that good, unless he left for a better job of course.

erm, don't think that's the problem, more than Sven isn't 100% happy and has now lost his closest ally in the FA...

think you're looking thru them rose-tinted specs a little too - sven has hardly been flawless...

interesting response to the thread! the yay's have it but there is dissent in the camp...
