Sven's latest club

Goran Eriksson that is, not Mathias Svensson.

Just seen a little snipet that he taken over at Shanghai East Asia on a 2 year deal for £8m. This guy really stopped caring about winning and competitive football a long time ago. Indian Premier League in 2 years time I reckon

Riviera

I take it the 8m is in Rupees?

True. Just thinking when do you decide to stop caring about winning trophies etc at a top level and just go somewhere for the money. I mean no disrespect to any of these leagues but they're all a pretty poor standard of football. If you look at someone like Ancelotti, he's a similar(ish) age, yet still wants to be at the top clubs.

I'm just surprised how this part of it obviously doesn't appeal to Sven

And to think the goal of Project Notts County was to bring Premiership football by 2017.

Personally i think he is possibly the luckiest man in football.

Since 1984 he's basically had one successfull spell, at Lazio in the late 90s when they were being bankrolled in a huge way by Cragnotti. Since then he's had a succession of high-pay appointments and not delivered, yet still keeps picking up huge contracts.

The blokes a frigging interview genius. He must start all his job and pay interviews with "look into my eyes, not around the eyes, don't look at my managerial record......".

Dont forget he won the Coppa Italia with Sampdoria in the mid 90s.
