Re: Sack Sven

if he had any pride he would have resigned after last night.

but he doesn't and he gets £5million a year so he needs to be pushed.

Ordinarily I get quite irate with the sort of people who call for a manager's head after one or two bad games. It annoys me, and is symptomatic of the way that football and society is going at the moment.

But this is different. Sven quite clearly has no idea what's going on. If he's behind in a game, he gets confused and lost. Last night really annoyed me. Any chance that we can put some chances away? Or even create some chances in the first place? We've looked awful for the last three games, got lucky against Wales and got what we deserved last night. Something needs to change, and soon.

Re: Sack Sven

What exactly does sven do? He doesn't run the training sessions, he sat and said nothing last. Mclaren seemed to do everything!!

5 million a year? Pffffft!

Re: Sack Sven

i can't think of anyone i'd want to replace him though.

don't think mclaren's right for the job, he's better as a coach it seems.
sam asllardyce doesn't have the tactical ability to manage on an international level.
maybe someone like alan curbishly...

Re: Sack Sven

the england manager is putting the world cup hopes in danger just so beckham can stand in the centre of midfield knocking fancy balls around

the talent of lampard, gerrard and rooney is being completely nuetralised to accomodate beckham in the side. The influence this guy has over the team is unbelievable. he is too slow to play on the right now, so they squeeze him in centre mid, and lampard and gerrard get made to look crap because they simply dont know what their roles are.

axe beckham, switch to 4-4-2 and they will start winning again

Re: Sack Sven

not a bad assessment tuco - maybe you should be manager

but seriously
give Tony Adams the job alongside McLaren with Stuart Pearce as assistant

that would put a bit of fire into the dressing room - and some experience of what it's like these days to be an international footballer

Sven should have been sacked after the faria alam stuff - it's just too much of a distraction to have that sort of thing going on behind the team...

Re: Sack Sven

Tony Adams would be awful! He couldn't even take Wycombe out of League 2 last season, and resigned because he couldn't cope with the pressure! He'd be a gibbering wreck after two games!

Re: Sack Sven

actually - I thought o'neill should have got the job when sven got the nod

and I think Tony Adams would be different in a job like the england one - mainly because he'd have a hotline to Wenger - but also because he has some solid playing experience behind him at that level

Re: Sack Sven

thanks anschul!! i try my best and if me and david mellor are along the same lines of thinking....i must be doing something right!!!

alan hansen made me laugh at half time 'david beckham showed a range of passing that we will probably never see in our lifetime again'.........and what exactly did that get england?? nothing.....'hollywood passes'....being floated over lampard and gerrards heads giving them no ball to use and no time to get on the end of something. he was even making a straight forward pass look a lot more than it was by chipping it and soort of putting his arms out as he passed the ball.

He is a great master of disguise, is beckham. he knows he is not the player he was, and he covers this up by influencing the manager to play him in a position where he doesent have to get involved physically.....and he can look good by doing the one thing he still can manage

Re: Sack Sven

He should have gone after the Brazil debacle in 2002 and if not then, certainly after all the sordid revelations about his private life.
Sadly, because qualification from one of the worst qualifying groups was almost inevitable before a ball was even kicked, he will still be here when we go to Germany, where we will play badly, scrape through the group stages before going out to a hotly disputed penalty/free kick/offside decision (delete where applicable) and Eriksson will once again be absolved of any blame and pick another £4 million contract.

Re: Sack Sven

And motivate them.

I've decided, if Argyle can't get them I want Mad Dog (Martin Allen) or Ian Holoway in charge of England, there will be plenty of passion then and they will probably do it for peanuts!

And they are good managers.

Re: Sack Sven

coz they're too fuckin thick to realise that playing for England is more than just earning your £

A football manager also man-manages his players, "a productive workforce is a happy one" so to speak, he also chooses the formation, oversees training, chooses the best squad from the best players in the country, watches players for form and selects the team accordingly, makes substitutions based on the pattern of the game, answers to the media, give press conferences, represents the team throughout the world.

oh and shags secretaries, at least that's one part of the job he is doing well.

Re: Sack Sven

there's only selecting the formation thats remotely controversial at the moment. i think most of the country would pick the same side, save for one or two objections ..... things like training and tactics can't have much of an impact because the players don't spend enough time together.

international football's not proper football, anyway ...

Re: Sack Sven

really? define 'proper' football then

I'd be here for ages describing what I would do and I can't be bothered. All i would say is, give the youth a chance and if you play well, you keep your place, like all decent club managers. You know which players I'm talking about

Sven selects teams on reputations and experiments with formation in competitive games. Pathetic really considering the wedge he brings home.

Re: Sack Sven

nah, i just don't understand why some people get really wound up by international football. it's always struck me as being rather london-centric too. i'd rather my club stayed in the premiership this season than england qualified for the world cup so, y'know ...

the thing is, i'd probably pick roughly the same team as Erikson but I'd shoot Joe Cole and play Downing instead. I'm sure most people have similarly small quibbles but maybe i'm wrong ..

Re: Sack Sven

They cannot/will not sack Sven cos it'd cost about 5 million in compensation. And you just know the Ikea bastard would claim it

There's only one solution. Murder. If we get Steve McClaren to slip a little poison in Sven's post match whiskey, then problem solved.

That'd therefore pave the way for Cristian Gross to lead us back to the glory days of '66
