We all know the stories about Sven-Goran Eriksson and his supposed womanising. Apparently, the Swede has charm in abundance when it comes to the fairer sex, no cheesy chat-up lines as far as old Svennis is concerned. However, it appeared that he’d surpassed himself in Mexico City on Wednesday, rocking up to meet a club […]

It is a generally-held belief that Sven-Goran Eriksson should have been given more time to weave his magic at Manchester City. Although the Swede failed to prevent a series of abject performances away from home last season, he acquired some exciting players and ensured (due to a strong home record) that City finished in the […]

It’s hard to pick many holes in his managerial record, apart from the fact that he is relatively inexperienced having only managed Wales and Blackburn to date. It’s a question of whether he’s taken Rovers ‘as far as he could’, something which Mark Hughes is almost certain to say if indeed he is to be […]

Or should that be who will replace him? After all, it appears that Mark Hughes is nailed-on for the position, with Blackburn reluctantly allowing their manager to hold talks at Eastlands. The BBC report that the Swede and Manchester City have finally parted ways after just one full season, are we all in agreement that […]

Despite the fact that Swedish lothario Sven Goran Eriksson is still “officially” Manchester City boss, Thaksin Shinawatra and his entourage are still vigorously pursuing “Big” Phil Scolari, so claims the Times:
“Manchester City have stepped up their attempts to lure Luiz Felipe Scolari to the club, although the Portugal coach is thought to be demanding […]

Goodness, that has a familar ring to it. Perhaps it’s because Luiz Felipe Scolari was in line to replace Sven-Goran Eriksson as England manager two years ago, before the Brazilian decided he could do without the hassle of being hounded by the press on a 24 / 7 basis. Nevertheless, Manchester City owner Thaksin Shinawatra […]

But not to manager Sven-Goran Eriksson as he prepares to wield the axe in the Swede’s direction at the end of the season. Thaksin Shinawatra has instead apologised to the Thai government for a flag which was apparently unfurled at the Manchester City v Fulham game ten days ago.
The Daily Telegraph report that the Thai […]

Sven may well be on his way out of Eastlands thanks to Thaksin Shinawatra’s ludicrous demands - but that hasn’t stopped Portuguese giants Benfica having a sniff around the Swedish Svengali. The Telegraph reckons that although Benfica did initially have a wild and crazy pipe-dream about whisking Sven away to the Iberian peninsula, they got […]

According to the Daily Mirror, Luiz Felipe Scolari is set to become the next manager of Manchester City. It became clear on Tuesday that Sven-Goran Eriksson’s future at the club was likely to amount to just a handful of weeks, with owner Thaksin Shinawatra seemingly unimpressed by City’s ninth-placed finish this term. The megalomaniac has […]

Out of all the Premier League football managers that should lose their jobs in the summer, would Sven-Goran Eriksson have been on anyone’s top three list? You could argue that Paul Jewell has done nothing to halt Derby’s depressing run of form (if anything, he’s made it worse), you might even say that Alan Curbishley […]
