    RIP

    I didn't realise Sir Chris was assistant coach at the Wendies - now that's what I call a conflict of interests!

    I really liked him. it wasn’t just that he picked our players, especially Sir Chris, but when he did pick him, and all the media pretended it was some kind of shock to turn to an older player who played for (shock horror) Charlton, he turned it back on them by explaining it as the most rational choice in the world. Something like, well we don’t have many good left-backs, and he is a good left -back, so why would we  not try him? 

    RIP Mr Sven.

    Watched the doc on Friday and if you haven’t seen it, would recommend it highly. Very moving and even more so now he’s passed.
    A great life and a decent bloke.
    RIP

    A gentle man and a real football man (they rarely go hand in hand) who achieved amazing success in his coaching career. His players loved him and as Micah Richards said today, the greatest man manager he ever played under.

    He lived his life to the absolute fullest, and at the end of that life passed with the utmost dignity.  

    Rest in Peace, Sven - and thank you.

    He was a typical Scandinavian gentleman, laid back and no dramas or histrionics.

    Very sad news. Watched his documentary a couple of nights ago. Came over really well, as did his family.

    Was going to watch the documentary today anyway, but did so after I heard the sad news of Sven's death. He had an amazing football career before he became England manager, with a fantastic success rate at different clubs and in different countries. A courageous, talented man who lived his life to the full. His final words in the documentary are very poignant and also very wise. 

    RIP Sven.
