Sven to leave after WC

Post by jj86 »

Any thoughts?

Personally I think we've had a decent record under Sven, but then you could argue it's also the strongest squad we've had for several years as well :wink:

Im not really up to date with the situation but a mate briefed me... :)

I think they should get rid of him before the world cup as the teams stronger than ever before...

I've never been keen on sven so the sooner he leaves the better ...

I don't think he even likes football, he looks lost most of the time "errr this isn't sweden".... haha

i think he should go now for all the stuff he's done...but then it's too close to the world cup and we have had a good record wiv him so the fa probably made the right choice keeping him till after the world cup.

thar be my 2p matey :)

If Sven goes before the World Cup, we then have the hassle of finding a new bloke for the job and after all that having the squad adapt to the new manager's methods and style of coaching. Far better, despite the reports of what Sven has said and what he might or might not have done outside the job, to keep him on board until after the World Cup before finding a new national team coach, if only for stability in the lead up to the tournament. We won't be winning anything if he's out on his arse and the FA are left looking for a new manager!

We have had a good record with him, although as Mysteryboy said, he lacks the passion an England manager needs.

Errr yes, we scored the most goals and we win.

Don't really know whether its for the best he stays or just pisses off now. I feel for him that he's been set up like a kipper but he has never helped himself has he! Well apart from helping himself to the odd bit of totty.

Its probably best he stays so tactics aren't changed and other general changes when a new boss is in charge!

Come the end of the world cup though, Sam Allardyce is my vote. He's a proper Manager. Reminds me of "mike Bassett England Manager" :lol:

I hope we have a good cup run, and then Sven and the FA realise whats in the past is meant to be left there, and he continues.

i think sam alaydyce would make a good england manager 8) who ever it is they've got to be english though...i just think it creates a bad image to english management that we have to get a foreigner in because we're not good enough.

that's my 4p now lol

I'm not sure about the 'englishman makes sense' stuff.

I mean, yeah preferably it would be good to see someone home grown leading the team and there are a few likely candidates around at the moment.

But I dont think it's necessarily damaging to have a foreign head coach. Other footballing nations have had foreign coaches, and i dont think it's perceived as indicating their own coaches are incapable.

I'd sooner go with a coach (not necessarily sven) who's gotta half decent chance of bringing the cup home for us, than a less capable coach... just because theyre english.
